I udev problems after updating to udev 191 on an almost fresh install, |
| 2 |
then downgraded to 189 in order to match a working system. This was |
| 3 |
working before the latest upgrade cycle. |

The problem is most (not all !) device nodes getting root/root |
| 6 |
owner/group. So /dev/snd, /dev/video belongs to root and not the |
| 7 |
official groups. So any kind of desktop interaction (webcams, audio |
| 8 |
etc) fails unless its the root user. |

It appears that udev isnt reading the rules files - whilst on another |
| 11 |
much older system with 189 all is fine :( |

The guides I have found so far seem way out of date, even bugzilla. |
