It is therefore recommended to use the lower case version (vboxmanage). + systemd capabilites: + The systemd-udevd compiled within the module systemd lacks a capability in the environment variable DEVTYPE at least in regard to USB devices, so an entry ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device" in an udev rule file rule will not work. + This applies to several versions, tested so far 195, 204, 206. In contrast to this a hand-copied distribution binary will work flawlessly within the openSLX biotope. + +It does not seem possible right now to circumvent this problem, as this kind +of problem seems to be unknown even irc/systemd development group. So as a +workaround the systemd-udevd will be restarted in addon-init. But the danger +of losing queue messages needs to be kept in mind, and if a solution arises, +the udevd restart line should be deleted. |
