udev 182 not responding to the DISK_EJECT_REQUEST

All,

we have the following issue reported by a gentoo user.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409563

I realize that we no longer create /dev/dvd, but what about responding to EJECT_REQUEST?

Thanks,

William

It should all work. DISK_EJECT_REQUEST=1 handling work fine for me here.

Hi Kay,

A solution I found (I saw that I did not have a /dev/dvd symbolic link) was to rm the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules file then restart udev. That brought the link back for me.

However, now we have a continuation of this report where a gentoo developer is saying that doing that killed his keyboard settings in xfce.

Do you have any suggestions?

William

I was advised that we should update our init scripts on gentoo so that if someone wants to restart udev we use --action=change on the udevadm trigger commands when we restart instead of --action=add. I've been told that will take care of the keyboard issue.

But, both people are reporting on the bug that they do not have a /dev/dvd symbolic link after running the solution I suggested, and they have posted the device information on the bug.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks,

William
