RHBA-2009:1111 - wdaemon bug fix update

Synopsis

wdaemon bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

An updated wdaemon package that fixes a bug is now available.

Description

wdaemon is a helper application which emulates persistent input devices for Wacom tablets so as to allow them to be plugged-in and unplugged while an X.org server is running.

This updated wdaemon package fixes the following bug:

  • when starting the wdaemon service, the startup script printed an extraneous line giving the version of the program. This has been corrected in this updated package so that the wdaemon startup script is silent and thus conforms to the behavior of other daemon initialization scripts. (BZ#489050)

All users of wdaemon are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
