 Posted: Fri Aug 09, 2013 5:18 am Post subject: USB scanner permissions |
 |
|
i have an hp scanner/printer.
the short explanation, as user it dosnt work. as root it does.
the more complex explanation
i have instaled hplip, xsane and gimp. lsusb shows the scanner. cupsd is running (and in the default runlevel)
running xsane as root, it works. the same with "scanimage -L"
my normal user is part of the scanner group (and usb group).
my kernel was generated by genkernel (im on amd64 desktop profile)
i have tried google, but all posts are old. talking about udev or scripts to chmod /proc ....or installing hotplug
and im completely lost. where do i look? what do i check ? XD
all help is much appreciated. |

If you use ConsoleKit or systemd-logind and your user is detected as a local user, the ACLs should set the permissions for you:
| Code: |
$ ck-list-sessions
Session1:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ''
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = '/dev/tty1'
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2013-08-04T20:38:59.202209Z'
login-session-id = '2'
idle-since-hint = '2013-08-04T23:38:16.014794Z'
Session2:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE <- THIS HERE is the most important bit, that makes you an active local user to get the permissions from ACLs
x11-display = ':0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = '/dev/tty1'
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2013-08-04T20:40:29.516195Z'
login-session-id = '2'
|
But of course it should work by group too, as you pointed out. What version of sys-apps/kmod and sys-fs/udev do you have installed?
And can you provide the output from the following command too?
| Code: |
$ cat /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname

consolekit says im a local user (wich is true)
| Code: | carlos@Opteron ~ $ ck-list-sessions
Session1:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = 'x11'
active = TRUE
x11-display = ':0.0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2013-08-09T04:58:03.786818Z'
login-session-id = '3'

and this is the contents of the file you asked (i dont know why is relevant)
| Code: | Opteron ~ # cat /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
# Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
microcode cpu/microcode c10:184

the device is identified correctly, and works as root, so everything is ok except "permissions" (this is an assumption)
i tried looking in /var/log/ for some reason and i cant find any.
not in Consolekit logs, or in Cups log. on the contrary, cups has logs of my user discovering printers (i have no idea what im doing at this point, but the log "feels" like its saying "yes, carlos found a device" )
| Code: | localhost - carlos [09/Aug/2013:02:07:43 -0300] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 403 144 CUPS-Get-Devices successful-ok
|
did a "tail -f *" inside /var/log/cups and executed the sane fronted and at the same time i got the gui error, it showed this
| Code: | ==> access_log <==
localhost - - [09/Aug/2013:05:04:03 -0300] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 401 144 CUPS-Get-Devices successful-ok
==> error_log <==
E [09/Aug/2013:05:04:03 -0300] Returning HTTP Forbidden for CUPS-Get-Devices (no URI) from localhost
==> access_log <==
localhost - carlos [09/Aug/2013:05:04:03 -0300] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 403 144 CUPS-Get-Devices successful-ok
|
no idea if its important. im completly lost. shooting in the dark XD |
