Just for the sake of documenting my finding I add this comment here for those that may be affected by the same misconfiguration:
I had exactly the same problems, but they weren't fixed with the forementioned packages nor with the solution mentioned in bug 21708 so something else was still wrong. After debugging hal and seeing "setfacl ... Operation not supported" I started digging into the ACL side of things and it turned out I never enabled ACL on Tempfs in my self-built kernel. /dev is mounted using tempfs by udev and after compiling a new kernel with tempfs acl enabled, my scanner was usable by normal users again instead of only root. -- access to usb device denied in latest hardy package https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180794 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
