Details

Description: Libinput is not updating udev hwdb when installing libinput package. This is causing hwdb to refer to old key/value pairs and causing hardware to not function correctly.

Additional info:
* package version(s): libinput 1.7.2
* config and/or log files etc. - PKGBUILD - only installing libinput but should also call the following lines in the package build for all event type.
sudo udevadm hwdb --update
sudo udevadm trigger /sys/class/input/eventX
sudo udevadm test /sys/class/input/eventX



Steps to reproduce:
update libinput from old version to a relatively new version where certain key/value pairs are removed or modified.
This task depends upon

Jan, you've removed it in this commit: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/libinput&id=2a59c857e11a008da7643e0fc7c00b2f741facac - was this intentional or a mistake? Isn't this now covered by some pacman hook?

systemd installs systemd-hwdb.hook which should take care of the hwdb update.

the systemd-hwdb hook didn't work for me. After I installed latest libinput and rebooted, the hook was not called until manual update. Please check when the hook is getting called. is there a condition for it to run

Hook should get triggered by the hwdb files installed by libinput. Which version of systemd do you have installed?
Comment by Mohit (mohit310) - Friday, 12 May 2017, 01:34 GMT
systemd 232
