The reason 'disk' doesn't appear in the Gnome > Administration > Users and Groups "Manage Groups" dialog is that it only lists groups with a GID of 100 or higher, except for root (GID=0).
'disk' is a system-level group (<100) that shouldn't be available to users. I don't think this can be classified as a bug in udev, but as a wish- list item. Access to the raw1394 device allows access to all devices on the IEEE 1394 bus and as such would be a big security hole if users had easy access. At the same time, user-mode applications such as Kino need write access to an AV/C camera device in order to control it. The way around it might be to develop additional udev rules that detect the camera and create a psuedo-device for it, such as /dev/avc0 I'm not sure how practical that is or what additional work would be required but hal sees the AV/C camera as a separate device so it should be feasible. -- Kino: libraw1394 -> plugdev does not work in Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133862 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
