Appears to be no longer an issue in ubuntu 12.04 If I ssh to my box and try to access scanner from the shell (e.g. scanimage -L) the device is not accessible; but once I add myself to group 'scanner' and logout and back in again, it works fine.
There is clearly the correct ACL here. $ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/005 crw-rw-r--+ 1 root root 189, 4 Oct 15 21:23 /dev/bus/usb/001/005 getfacl shows the user who is logged on at the console (which happens to be a different user), *and* group scanner. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236956 Title: sane devices should not be managed by consolekit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/consolekit/+bug/236956/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
