Title: systemd-udevd does not work as expected using custom rules Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Hi! In this example I'm using an external USB-Keyboard to trigger a rule on plugin/-off. The same example works in Arch, but not in (K)Ubuntu 16.10.

I've tried following to load rules: > udevadm control -R > systemctl restart systemd-udevd > reboot Nothing seems to work. Even after a few days and reboots it keeps the same, BUT there's a "workaround": After every reboot use: systemctl stop systemd-udevd systemctl start systemd-udevd and the rule works. Could anyone give me a hint why this does not work as expected in Kubuntu 16.10 or can confirm this? Thanks in advance!
