TxLogicGuyA few days ago I asked a question about how to capture console messages from 'udevd --debug'.  I found the solution and would post it here, but it probably wouldn't be very readable without posting it as a formatted code listing.  How can I do that?  (I'm very new to libera.chat.)02:24
kveremitzuse a pastebin? link here?02:59
kveremitzvivien: you may still find blueness (Anthony) on IRC ..03:03
kveremitzhe's generally pretty helpful03:04
TxLogicGuyok, here is how I captured the messages from 'udevd --debug'04:04

TxLogicGuyWhen I look through the debug messages I see a lot of messages like this one:04:14
TxLogicGuyno db file to read /run/udev/data/+bus:acpi: No such file or directory04:14
TxLogicGuyWhen I look at the /run/udev/data directory I see that indeed there is no file named "+bus:acpi:"04:15
TxLogicGuyWhere do these files in /run/udev/data come from?  /run is a tmpfs file system.  These files must be created by the kernel or udev, or something, during boot.  Should there be a file named "+bus:acpi:"?  Or, is udev looking in vain for a file that it doesn't need to be looking for?04:18
TxLogicGuyMaybe the final ":" isn't part of the name.  Anyway, there is no "+bus:acpi" either.04:27
bb|hcbTxLogicGuy: The files under /run/udev/data must be created by udev. The kernel never creates files in user filesystems by itself. About +bus:acpi:, I see nothing like that in the default rules. Maybe you have some custom rule, that references it? On a running sysmtem I see many +acpi: (no bus:)18:38
