Version: 254-1
Severity: normal
Dear maintainer,
The computer this report is sent from runs sid and is upgraded almost
daily. The problem described here appeared on the first boot of
2023-07-20 and is still present today.
This computer has the following rule in
/etc/udev/rules.d/90-local-uinput.rules (and no other rule in that
file):
SUBSYSTEM=="misc", KERNEL=="uinput", GROUP="a_user_group", MODE="0664"
This has been working fine for years, until 2023-07-20. Now, after
booting, one sees that the MODE="0664" action either hasn't been
applied, or has been cancelled by something else:
# ls -l /dev/uinput
crw------- 1 root a_user_group 10, 223 Jul 30 11:04 /dev/uinput
#
(which causes failures in a program that relies on /dev/uinput being
writable by a_user_group).
If, after boot, I manually run as root:
udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger'
then the rule is properly applied:
# ls -l /dev/uinput
crw-rw-r-- 1 root a_user_group 10, 223 Jul 30 11:09 /dev/uinput
#
Many thanks in advance for your help. Regards
Florent
