udev version help???

Hi

Installation of cups

I,m installing colord error

Code:

configure: error: Package requirements (gudev-1.0) were not met:



No package 'gudev-1.0' found

udev-extras (from systemd) (for GUdev) is only recommended so not installed.

Ok so i,ll install which gets me

here I have udev 173 installed
There are 2 links to download udev extras this link dosn't give for udev 173.
Neither dose
This

Any ideas how to get round this?
Do I have to install Udev extras is there away around it?
maybe --disable-gudev ??

Hi

Google got me thisSo am I correct in thinking this is what I need?
Although the link is down

Is version 173 actually required or can (should?) 188-3 or 193 be used? Both are present in http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/other/

Never mind, it should be the one you used when installing LFS.... Sorry I wasted your time!

Hi

I managed to find udev173 buried on a harddrive on the server. So now I can proceed,
Just a note, maybe ther should be a note to save the udev you build LFS with as it took quite awhile to find the 1 I used

Hi

I have a problem that has arisen from I think from This
When I run startxfce4 the desktop starts, and when I start terminator or xterm I get UNABLE TO START /BIN?BASH. I have put the problem down to devpts not mounting at /dev/pts.
Before i started installing this it worked ok???
To temporary fix before I start xfce I run

Code:

sudo mkdir -v /dev/pts

then

Code:

sudo mount -vt devpts devpts /dev/pts

on reboot it's back to not working.
How do I fix this???

fstab

Code:

What does

Code:

ls /lib/udev/devices/

give?
I had similar problems, if you look at /etc/rc.d/init.d/udev you will see that you need to set up certain static entry's for udev to populate.

Hi Keith

I have pts empty dir and a file null which is empty, I am looking at reinstalling udev but not sure which way to go

well the pts folder should be being populated what about the kernel config you should have this CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y in your config.

I have not touched the kernel it was all working ok until the udev install from blfs, The new Blfs instructions are a bit confusing. Or should I just install udev latest?

Isn't there a bit about using the same udev that you used to build LFS?

Yes thats why it confusing. I ran the udev from the old blfs thats when it went wrong.

Hi

Ok FYI I reinstalled udev-173 which corrected /dev/pts dir problem. I then ran the udev from blfs/svn which broke udev again?? but it dose leave the gudev file which was required.
A reinstall of udev-173 which fixes /devpts dir. This then satisfise colord package.
