uname not found about eudev HOT 3 CLOSED

I've been looking at this for a while now and I'm confused as to what is causing that. grepping the eudev sources I don't see anywhere that we call /usr/bin/uname. We do make a couple of calls to the function uname, but these are function calls define in <sys/utsname.h>, not the executable. Can you see if there is something in the init scripts that may be doing this? BTW what init scripts are you using? And what distro? I'll set up a vm and reproduce your results.

Sorry that I have been slow to respond, I have been working intensely on something else.

The kernel log has this:

[ 17.251693] udevd[1449]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/uname' 'uname -r': No such file or directory

I searched the udev rules and found this line in one of the files:

SUBSYSTEM=="module", PROGRAM="uname -r", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo linux_version_%c, >> /tmp/udevtrace-modem.log'"

I think that the lack of a path for uname is the cause of the problem.

So, it is not a eudev bug. It is a bug in a rule used in Puppy Linux.

Sorry for the false alarm, consider this issue closed.

Thanks for following up on this :)
