a) I'm probably blind but I cannot find anything in /etc/init.d/udev which (re)sets the permissions of the files copied.
b) My problems are definitely related to the broken permissions. I get error messages even on console login like schlepptop login: berni Password: [...] You have new mail. /usr/bin/check-sendfile: 6: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -la /dev/null crw------- 1 root root 1, 3 2006-08-10 21:38 /dev/null KDE login fails (kdm immediately gives the login screen again) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat .xsession-errors /usr/bin/lesspipe: 244: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied /usr/bin/check-sendfile: 6: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied /etc/X11/Xsession: 81: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied /etc/X11/Xsession: 84: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied Xsession: unable to create X session log/error file; aborting. /etc/X11/Xsession: 18: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied as soon as I do "chmod a+rw /dev/null" I can login again just fine. I'm using insserv which might have done some things to my runscript ordering, but you said it should be in the same initscript (so udev initscript) and there is not a single script in /etc/init.d/ setting permissions on /dev/null (at least none that I can find). -- [edgy] wrong permission for /lib/udev/devices/null https://launchpad.net/bugs/56129 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
