I just ran into the /dev/fuse permissions problem on Edgy (upgraded from Dapper, upgraded from Breezy I think).
The problem was a mistake in the file /etc/udev/rules.d/40-fuse.rules. It is supposed to contain: KERNEL=="fuse", NAME="%k", MODE="0666" but it actually contains KERNEL="fuse", NAME="%k", MODE="0666" (i.e., there's one equals sign instead of two after the KERNEL keyword). The result seems to be that the rule is disabled, and /dev/fuse appears with permissions which permit only user=root and group=root instead of all users as intended. To fix the permissions, you can add the missing "=" to the file, then do modprobe -r fuse modprobe fuse and then do ls -lF /dev/fuse to confirm that the new permissions took effect. -- dapper: /dev/fuse not owned by group set in package config https://launchpad.net/bugs/5105 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
