[Bug 288740] [NEW] logitechmouse udev rules not working

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Binary package hint: kdebase

I am running Ubuntu 8.04.1

The file /etc/udev/logitechmouse.rules is a part of binary package
kcontrol, which is part of the kdebase source package. I have version
4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy2, but this has been a problem for a long time,
at least since gutsy.

The udev rules for the logitech mouse are not working out of the box. I
played around with it, and eventually made it work. I enclose a patch.

There are a few problems. First, the file in /etc/udev/rules.d must not
be a symlink, it should be a regular file (see
/etc/udev/rules.d/README). Currently, there is a file in that directory,
called 25_logitechmouse.rules, which is a symlink to
/etc/udev/logitechmouse.rules.

Second, I believe the name should be 25-* and not 25_* (i.e. dash, not
underscore).

Third, I think the number should not be 25, but forty something, since
the rules file plays around with permissions and ownership and such
rules by definition must start with 4?-* . Again, see
/etc/udev/rules.d/README.

After these changes, I could see the battery level on my MX1000 in the
control panel (I had to temporarily comment out the ACTION!="add" line
to get udev to do something at all.
