Well, I tried it on a gutsy machine and there are no references to setfacl or chmod. I'll attach the logs anyway.
The logs say that hald is running a command like: setfacl -m u:1000:rw filename If I do: $ touch foo $ sudo chown root: foo $ sudo setfacl -m u:1000:rw foo I get: setfacl: foo: Operation not supported regardless of what the setfacl man page says. Anyway, I'm not sure if this line of investigation is useful or a red herring so to avoid creating too much noise I'll drop it unless someone who knows hal in some detail shows up... ** Attachment added: "gutsy-hal.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13351623/gutsy-hal.log -- Permissions error with USB PTP Camera prevents opening of camera in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203402 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
