RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
The /lib/udev/wdaemon_is_uinput.sh script does case sensitive matches on the hex $vendor and $product ids
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.17-2
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run wdaemon
2. Plug in an Intuos4 6x9 tablet
Actual results:
Creates symlink:
/dev/input/uinput-devices/uinput-wacom-unknown-tablet
Expected results:
Should create symlink:
/dev/input/uinput-devices/uinput-wacom-intuos4-6x9-tablet
Additional info:
The problem is that the script /lib/udev/wdaemon_is_uinput.sh has the following lines:
case "$vendor-$product" in
...
"056a-00B8") echo "intuos4-4x6"; ;;
"056a-00B9") echo "intuos4-6x9"; ;;
"056a-00BA") echo "intuos4-8x13"; ;;
...
*) echo "unknown"; ;;
esac;
The $product found for (my) Intuos4 6x9 tablet is '00b9' - so the above match fails
The script mixes upper and lower case for other of these hex number case pattern matches
The fix is simple, just add the line:
shopt -s nocasematch
before the case block
