Thanks to Ludwig Nussel and bug #444805#c2 I used polkit-auth --obtain org.freedesktop.hal.device-access.modem to get access to /dev/ttyUSB0 for my GPS receiver and other gadgets. this worked fine at least until Nov. 30 (last read-out of my GPS logger), but right now I tried to access another FT232 device and got "permission denied" :-( "polkit-auth --user harald" did not show any output. why ? so I did another "polkit-auth --obtain org.freedesktop.hal.device-access.modem". now I see harald gps > polkit-auth --user harald org.freedesktop.hal.device-access.modem but still (after dis-/re-connect) harald gps > cat /dev/ttyUSB0 cat: /dev/ttyUSB0: Permission denied restarting hal did not help. lshal shows udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_10c4_ea60_0001_if0_serial_usb_0' access_control.file = '/dev/ttyUSB0' (string) access_control.type = 'modem' (string) info.callouts.add = {'hal-acl-tool --add-device'} (string list) info.callouts.remove = {'hal-acl-tool --remove-device'} (string list) info.capabilities = {'serial', 'access_control'} (string list) info.category = 'serial' (string) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_10c4_ea60_0001_if0' (string) info.product = 'CP210x Composite Device' (string) info.subsystem = 'tty' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_10c4_ea60_0001_if0_serial_usb_0' (string) linux.device_file = '/dev/ttyUSB0' (string) linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int) linux.subsystem = 'tty' (string) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb5/5-2/5-2:1.0/ttyUSB0/tty/ttyUSB0' (string) serial.device = '/dev/ttyUSB0' (string) serial.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_10c4_ea60_0001_if0' (string) serial.port = 0 (0x0) (int) serial.type = 'usb' (string) what's wrong ? more information ? -- 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.
