• udevd[486]: lookup_group: specified group ‘fuse’ unknown

    I am seeing these messages when plugging in a Huawei CDMA phone with it’s TI USB cable. I reckoned this might have something to do with my recent hard drive corruption and figured I ought to update my fuse packages. Unfortunately it didn’t quite work out.

    Error: Missing Dependency: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686 is needed by package fuse-kmdl-2.6.26.3-29.fc9-2.7.4-8_10.fc9.i686 (atrpms)

    I reckoned that updating the kernel ought to fix it. Thanks to my new Lanka Bell Wimax connection, these big updates are no longer the painfull tasks they used to be. Unfortunately the update moved the kernel to 2.6.26.5-45 in fact looking at the /boot/ folder I see that the previous version is 2.6.25-14 still higher than the number that yum is looking for.

    All this is because of a conflict between the Atrpms repo and the fedora updates repo. Looking even more closely I see that I do have a version of fuse installed. So I decided to forget all this and to manually create a group named fuse. Well it did make that particular error message go away, but I am not anywhere close to using this phone on my linux box.

    I am not trying to setup a dialup connection. I aim to use my linux box as an answering machine.
