Public bug reported: The administrator now doesn't by default have rights over scanners and tapedrives. That's not right, because that causes certain unnecessary problems with printers and scanners. Low-level USB rights are necessary for the administrator, by default.
The workaround is to do System - Administration - Users and groups, and tick the rights boxes that aren't ticked yet, for the administrator account. This workaround shouldn't be necessary. I am using Ubuntu 8.04.1 and I did a fresh install today, including today's updates. ** Affects: user-setup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- The administrator should have all rights mentioned in users-admin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245688 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
