Bug Description
Binary package hint: udev
On Kubuntu Jaunty 64-bit, I cannot seem to use the GROUP="" parameter to assign permissions in a file in /etc/udev/rules.d. I am trying to set up udev so that my cellphone works in BitPim without root privileges, but the following line does not work:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}
I have confirmed that the "cellusers" group exists and that I am a member. It will work, however, if I assign myself as the owner, like this:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}

To post a comment you must log in.
Please run "udevadm test" on the /sys path of the device.
It's probable that a later rule is overriding the group, try changing GROUP= to GROUP:=
You should replace SYSFS{...} with ATTR{...}
And you should remove ACTION=="add"
