Strictly speaking setupcon means 'setup console' and this doesn't suppose that udevadm has to be called. Because of this I am lowering the severity to 'minor'. On the other hand I agree that this can be useful. The reason I am not going to fix this is that I am not well acquanted with the udev/hal system. I understand that the patch to fix the bug is very simple but sometimes to maintain a one-line code and to fix all problems that could arise in the future requires more than simply understanding what this one-line command does. There is no way back - if this functionality is added to setupcon the users will expect it so it would be impossible to revert the change. Correspondingly I am adding a 'help' tag to this bug and leaving for some other developer to fix it. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
