Package: powerdevil Version: 4:6.6.5-3 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, There are repeated errors in journald to this effect: org_kde_powerdevil: Exception in function i2c_all_relevant_i2c_buses_rw: status=EACCES(-13): Permission denied org_kde_powerdevil: libddcutil requires RW access to all /dev/i2c devices that might be used for DDC. org_kde_powerdevil: Caused by: org_kde_powerdevil: Exception in function i2c_open_bus_basic: status=EACCES(-13): Permission denied org_kde_powerdevil: Open failed for /dev/i2c-0, errno=EACCES(-13): Permission denied in file i2c_bus_cor> I understand from my brief research that Debian sets /dev/i2c* root ownership, which breaks non-privileged processes trying to access it. From https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum/current-supported- releases/kubuntu-26-04/692450-trying-to-solve-kde-plasma-power-management- powerdevil-configuration-bug%E2%80%A6 , it seems that udev rules or relaxing permissions or ownership quickly solves the issue. However, before adding exceptions, I'm wondering whether Debian can ship with a recommended udev file or some other workaround. -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (501, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 7.0.12+deb14.1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages powerdevil depends on: ii libc6 2.42-16 ii libcap2-bin 1:2.78-1 ii libddcutil5 2.2.6-1 ii libkf6authcore6 6.23.0-2 ii libkf6configcore6 6.23.0-3 ii libkf6coreaddons6 6.23.0-2 ii libkf6crash6 6.23.0-2 ii libkf6dbusaddons6 6.23.0-2 ii libkf6globalaccel6 6.23.0-2 ii libkf6i18n6 6.23.0-3 ii libkf6idletime6 6.23.0-2 ii libkf6kcmutilscore6 6.23.0-2 ii libkf6kcmutilsquick6 6.23.0-2 ii libkf6runner6 6.23.0-4 ii libkf6screen8 4:6.6.5-2 ii libkf6screendpms8 4:6.6.5-2 ii libkf6service-bin 6.23.1-2 ii libkf6service6 6.23.1-2 ii libkf6solid6 6.23.0-2 ii libkf6xmlgui6 6.23.0-2 ii libkirigamiplatform6 6.23.1-3 ii libkscreen-bin 4:6.6.5-2 ii libkworkspace6-6 4:6.6.5-2 ii libplasma7 6.6.5-2 ii libpowerdevilcore2 4:6.6.5-3 ii libqcoro6dbus0t64 0.13.0-2 ii libqt6core6t64 [qt6-base-private-abi] 6.10.2+dfsg-15 ii libqt6dbus6 6.10.2+dfsg-15 ii libqt6gui6 6.10.2+dfsg-15 ii libqt6qml6 [qt6-declarative-private-abi] 6.10.2+dfsg-6 ii libqt6quick6 6.10.2+dfsg-6 ii libstdc++6 16.1.0-1 ii plasma-desktoptheme 6.6.5-2 ii plasma-version [plasma-version-base-6.6] 6.6.1 ii powerdevil-data 4:6.6.5-3 ii qml6-module-org-kde-config 6.23.0-3 ii qml6-module-org-kde-coreaddons 6.23.0-2 ii qml6-module-org-kde-kcmutils 6.23.0-2 ii qml6-module-org-kde-kirigami 6.23.1-3 ii qml6-module-org-kde-kirigamiaddons-formcard 1.12.0-1 ii qml6-module-org-kde-kitemmodels 6.23.0-2 ii qml6-module-org-kde-ksvg 6.23.0-2 ii qml6-module-org-kde-kwindowsystem 6.23.0-2+b1 ii qml6-module-org-kde-notifications 6.23.0-2 ii qml6-module-org-kde-plasma-workspace 4:6.6.5-2 ii qml6-module-qtcore 6.10.2+dfsg-6 ii qml6-module-qtquick 6.10.2+dfsg-6 ii qml6-module-qtquick-controls 6.10.2+dfsg-6 ii qml6-module-qtquick-dialogs 6.10.2+dfsg-6 ii qml6-module-qtquick-layouts 6.10.2+dfsg-6 Versions of packages powerdevil recommends: ii power-profiles-daemon 0.30-2 ii systemsettings 4:6.6.5-2 powerdevil suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
