--- Begin Message ---Package: hotkey-setup Version: 0.1-21 Severity: normal Tags: patch Yesterday I noticed that hotkey-setup failed with something like /dev/input/uinput: no such file or directory or similar. Re-running the initscript succeeded. I suspect that device files are not necessarily immediately available after running modprobe (due to dynamic device file creation by udev). I changed the initscript to wait until the devices are there, and it seems to work now. A "sleep 1" will probably do, but we can do more professional ;-) Having used a while loop on my laptop, something like this might be better (because it can never lead to an infinite loop): --- init.d 2008-01-16 23:08:03.000000000 +0100 +++ init.d.changed 2008-02-03 20:37:29.000000000 +0100 @@ -62,6 +62,11 @@ if [ ! -c /dev/nvram ]; then modprobe nvram fi + for t in 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.8 1.6; do + [ -c /dev/input/uinput ] && + [ -c /dev/nvram ] || + sleep $t + done $THINKPAD_KEYS $1 && touch $THINKPAD_LOCKFILE fi } -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing')
