gentoo complaining at boot

I'm getting the following message during the boot process on a gentoo system.

"udevd-event[9318] missing file parameter for attr"

google searches did not solve my problem however I do know what triggers this message to appear, I have a laserjet hp 1012 printer configured and I use hplip i believe to make it work correctly, I believe this causes the message to appear, without this package the printer does not work, with this package it works but the message appears

how do I get rid of this message and what is it complaining about?

thanks

hi

Its likely you have a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d or somewhere in folder one level up.

When you find it....post the contents in a code box pls

at some point in time the rule had a setting for attribute ...attr....and this has changed or your printer has changed.

hplip has changed as well so you may like to do a full dist-upgrade ....I have a bubblejet but hplip has changed.

i have 2 related files:

country rules.d # cat 55-hpmud.rules
# HPLIP udev rules file for HP printer and all-in-one products.
#
# Notes for downstream implementers.
#
# 1. The 55-hpmud.rules name was chosen in order to run after the default udev rule /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules. See
# "Writing udev rules" Ver 0.74, Daniel Drake. Although it seems 50-udev.rules is no longer used I continue to reuse "55-"
# name for backward compatibility with older distros. 2/11/2009, D Suffield
#
# 2. It seems SFSFS has been replaced or depreciated by ATTR/ATTRS, but I continue to use SFSFS in order to be compatible with
# older distros. SFSFS was defined in "Writing udev rules" Ver 0.72, Daniel Drake. 2/11/2009, D Suffield
#
# 3. This rules file is an attempt at being compatable with all distros. Feel free to make your own changes and if you feel your
# changes are not distro specific please send your patch to us. 2/11/2009, D Suffield

hi

I asked you put that in a code box...do you not know how?

With root powers move that file somewhere out of /etc

and put this file in and then reboot to test if you have better luck.

You can give it a different filename
suggest 11-hp.rules



Code:
#Own udev rule for HP Laserjet 1000
KERNEL=="lp*", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="03f0", \
	SYSFS{product}=="hp LaserJet 1000", NAME="usb/%k", \

	SYMLINK+="hpljP1505-%n", MODE="0666", RUN+="/usr/sbin/hpljP1505"
it does not actually specify 1012 but its a lot closer than yours was.

22) Now if that new one fails....move it out of /etc.....and none in there....reboot computer with printer turned on already pls

What version of HPLIP is installed ... maybe you should upgrade it (if it is not the latest).

Markus,

I resolved my problem by updating all the packages on my system. However only 1 package didn't want to update so I had to mask it and it happenned to be =sys-fs/udev-146-r1 (I put this in package.mask).

Here's the output of your command

Quote:
country cizzi # emerge -pv cups hplip udev

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] sys-fs/udev-141 USE="(-selinux)" 0 kB
[ebuild R ] net-print/cups-1.3.10-r2 USE="X acl avahi dbus jpeg kerberos ldap pam perl python ssl -gnutls -java -php -png -ppds -samba -slp -static -tiff -xinetd -zeroconf" LINGUAS="-de -en -es -et -fr -he -id -it -ja -pl -sv -zh_TW" 0 kB
[ebuild R ] net-print/hplip-2.8.6b USE="dbus -cupsddk -doc -fax -minimal -parport -ppds -qt3 -qt4 -scanner -snmp" 0 kB

Total: 3 packages (3 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 0 kB
country cizzi #
Why wouldn't that package update? I did emerge -uD --ask world and all the others updated fine.

Hello cizzy,

I'd recommend to build cups and hplib both with ppds
Code:
USE="ppds" emerge cups hplip
These are the printer-definitions for hplip.
I have a HP-Printer as well (PSC 1410) and after installing the printer in cups (using the proper ppd-file) I had never any complaints from udev.

Markus
