(Again, please don't top-post (& again, I've adjusted the above to correct it.))
OK, but this thread is re printing: and the konsole one, while perhaps related,
is a separate thread. (You're criss-crossing threads, and top-posting: can make
debugging unnecessarily much more awkward.)

Re-installing udev: Ken & others would know better if just a re-install would
be fine, or if it needs a (sort-of) uninstall-then-reinstall (I'd expect
there's
maybe don't-saw-the-branch-you're-sitting-on hazards there), or what: a
separate
post today (from me) outlines some checks of parts of lfs/blfs that you might
want to review to see how much your system is deviating from what the book
would
setup.
Btw, did you do the 'udev-installed...' &/or 'udev-extras' stuff in blfs-7.4
ch. 12,
in _addition_ to the udev stuff in lfs-7.4 ? That's just asked as
info-gathering:
I don't know if it might('ve) messed anything up - again, a udev person would
know better than me on that.
rgds,
