Chris (and everyone else) Some time ago you asked for some help investigating the usb device permissions on OpenSuse. I didn't see if you had any responses to that, so I don't know if the following information will be any use...
Using barry 0.15 x86_64 from OBS, btool and friends reply Usb::Error caught: (-1, error sending control message: Operation not permitted): Probe: GetConfiguration failed It seems that udev has a rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default-rules SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", MODE="0644" which sets the usb device to being read-only, and overrides the settings provided in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-blackberry.rules The workaround I have implemented is to move the blackberry rules file to later in the sequence, and changing the rules slightly to [/etc/udev/rules.d/65-blackberry.rules] BUS=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0fca", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0004", MODE="0660", GROUP="users", SYMLINK+="bb-%k", RUN="/usr/sbin/bcharge -p %p" Opensuse doesn't provide a "plugdev" group, so I'm using "users" here for portability. In fact, in my own setup I've found the serial number of my blackberry: # lsusb ... Bus 005 Device 023: ID 0fca:0004 Research In Motion, Ltd. ... # udevinfo -a -n /dev/bus/usb/005/023 | grep 'ATTR{serial}' and set up the rule as ... ATTR{serial}=="abcde", OWNER="myusername", MODE="0600" ... I'd prefer to have ConsoleKit configured so that this just works, but I haven't the foggiest about how to do that. Opensuse does use ConsoleKit, but doesn't seem to pay attention to the file /etc/security/console.perms.d/10-blackberry.perms Hoping this is useful or interesting to someone.
