How do I get rid of udev messages during boot?

[Rich]

Hi nurbles

... I will look for that file and try to remove the rules that should never have been included ...

I would remove the whole file. Here is why.
The first 6 rules simply exit the rules file:

Code: [Select]

# udev rules for libwacom supported devices

ACTION=="remove", GOTO="libwacom_end"
KERNEL!="event[0-9]*", GOTO="libwacom_end"

# HUION and GAOMON consumer and system control devices are not tablets.
ATTRS{name}=="* Consumer Control", GOTO="libwacom_end"
ATTRS{name}=="* System Control", GOTO="libwacom_end"

# Match all serial wacom tablets with a serial ID starting with WACf
ENV{ID_BUS}=="tty|pnp", ATTRS{id}=="WACf*", ENV{ID_INPUT}="1", ENV{ID_INPUT_TABLET}="1", GOTO="libwacom_end"
ENV{ID_BUS}=="tty|pnp", ATTRS{id}=="FUJ*", ENV{ID_INPUT}="1", ENV{ID_INPUT_TABLET}="1", GOTO="libwacom_end"
The next rule is the source of the errors:

Code: [Select]

# use the /sys/class/input/eventXXX/device/modalias as lookup key, prefixed
# by libwacom:<device name>:
# This lookup key is a contract between the udev rules and the hwdb entries.
# It is not considered public API and may change.
KERNELS=="input*", IMPORT{builtin}="hwdb --subsystem=input '--lookup-prefix=libwacom:name:$attr{name}:'"
This rule relies on the previous rule setting a variable, which never runs:

Code: [Select]

# We can't unset properties through the hwdb but we can set them to zero.
# So let's have a rule that converts the 0 properties to unset ones.
ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}=="0", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}=""
This is where the first 6 rules jump to to exit:

Code: [Select]

LABEL="libwacom_end"
So aside from generating some error messages, the file does nothing.

To remove the file:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wil squashfs-tools.tcz
mkdir libwacom
cd libwacom
cp /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/libwacom.tcz .
unsquashfs libwacom.tcz
rm -f squashfs-root/usr/local/share/libwacom/files/65-libwacom.rules
mksquashfs squashfs-root libwacom.tcz -noappend
mv libwacom.tcz /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/
rm -f /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/libwacom.tcz.md5.txt
cd ..
rm -rf libwacom
The md5 file gets removed so the modified libwacom.tcz can't get
replaced if update apps is run.

Wow!  Thanks Rich!  Those instructions worked perfectly and saved hours of searching (and hand wringing while I debated whether my interpretations of what I found was correct!)
