[Pkg-pulseaudio-devel] Bug#549001: Not only udev 146 needed

[Rupert Swarbrick]

Since I've just spent a couple of hours working out why my machine
didn't work upon upgrading udev and pulseaudio as suggested, I thought
I'd add this for anyone who comes upon this bug report:

You need to have a recent kernel (I think it's > 2.6.29, but I'm not
sure) and you need not to have the kernel config option
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED set. If you've got one of those two things
wrong, udev should output the following warning in your syslog:

udev: deprecated sysfs layout (kernel too old, or
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED) is unsupported, some udev features may fail

In which case, it's time to upgrade your kernel package or recompile
your home-brew version with different options!
