https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463000 Summary: Wrong device permisson setting for SCSI scanners and CD/DVD Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: alexander.koenig@koenig-a.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer Created an attachment (id=262806) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=262806) hwinfo I upgraded my 64-bit system from openSUSE 11.0 to openSUSE 11.1 (both KDE4). After installation I realized two problems with system device permissions which were present on the 11.0 system and which require manual workarounds in 11.1: - xsane cannot access my SCSI scanner Workaround: Add the following command to /etc/init.d/boot.local chmod 666 /dev/sg1 - Programs accessing the /dev/cdrom device, e.g. grip, do not work correctly Workaround: Make the user member of the group "disk" This workaround erodes security! At least the second problem is independent of the hardware: I upgraded two older 32-bit systems from openSUSE 10.3 to 11.1, keeping KDE3. The CD probem is present there as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
