Public bug reported:
otherwise one needs to run cgminer as root / sudo
from the original README
LINUX:
On linux, the direct USB support requires no drivers at all. However due to
permissions issues, you may not be able to mine directly on the devices as a
regular user without giving the user access to the device or by mining as
root (administrator). In order to give your regular user access, you can make
him a member of the plugdev group with the following commands:
sudo usermod -G plugdev -a `whoami`
If your distribution does not have the plugdev group you can create it
with:
sudo groupadd plugdev
In order for the BFL devices to instantly be owned by the plugdev group and
accessible by anyone from the plugdev group you can copy the file
"01-cgminer.rules" from the cgminer archive into the /etc/udev/rules.d
directory with the following command:
sudo cp 01-cgminer.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
