Actually the way things tend to work is by extended permissions attributes. They should be getting set to allow a particular user/group access I believe. Can you check "# getfacl /dev/dvb"? For example when I look at /dev/cdrom on my system, it's root:root, but I get permissions specifically as my user:
$ getfacl /dev/cdrom getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/cdrom # owner: root # group: cdrom user::rw- user:supermario:rw- group::rw- mask::rw- other::--- On Sun, May 13, 2012 at 2:55 PM, RefuX Zanzeebarr <re...@hotmail.com> wrote: > I have been using 11.10 very happily, but decided to upgrade to 12.04 > (well Saturday was a quiet day!). > > Everything went smoothly except that my HD5500 cards were all apparently > 'busy'.
