Journal marcello_dl's Journal: Scanner permissions with udev

Journal by marcello_dl on Monday August 10, 2009 @01:19PM

in /etc/udev/rules.d/91-permissions.rules, after first line put:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{product}=="xxxx", GROUP="scanner"

Note it is SUBSYSTEMS plural
The correct attr can be seen on dmesg, or udevinfo -a -p /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev5
Optionally put vendor too.

Always try to do things in chronological order; it's less confusing that way.
