Some googling and thinking later, I have now added an ad hoc udev rule which sorts it for me for now.
/etc/udev/rules.d/90-scannerbodge.rules SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi",ATTRS{vendor}=="EPSON ",MODE="0666" This is far from foolproof or good practice but as I have no other Epson devices at the moment, and am unlikely to have any on the scsi subsystem it suffices as proof of concept and works round the problem for now. I'd still be interested to know where the rule should be by default, as I've no doubt it should be somewhere else than where I've put it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662065 Title: Regression: 1394 scanner device (sgN) permissions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
