** Description changed: + == SRU request for jaunty: == + Symptom: The thinklight plugin is not able to let the thinklight blink. It gives an error message that the file /proc/acpi/ibm/light cannot be written to. - Reason: The suid bit of the executable - /usr/bin/kopete_thinklight_fixpermissions, which is executed on plugin - startup, is not set and so it fails to set rw permission on the - thinklight file. + Reason: Upstream does not install with SUID bit enabled. - Solution: The executable /usr/bin/kopete_thinklight_fixpermissions needs - to be installed with the suid bit set. + Solution: The build system has to be patched, so that cmake installs + kopete_thinklight_fixpermissions with suid-bit. + + Development version: Already fixed in karmic with the same patch as + being proposed here. + + Regression potential: + Insignificant. The patch only touches the kopete-plugin-thinklight specific code and it is actually not working.
