Description Benny Amorsen 2012-06-26 16:49:14 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #815093 +++

The warning "udevd[493] specified group 'plugdev' unknown" is always shown on boot, the number varies each time, I guess that's to do with sequence systemd runs.

The boot sequence is not stopped and the installation runs correctly, except that the alsa interfaces sometimes show up late.

I can't find "plugdev" using a text search recursively in /etc - so I don't know where it's coming from.

Any ideas?

$ fgrep -r plugdev /{etc,lib}/udev/rules.d
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-libftdi.rules:SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"

$ rpm -qf /etc/udev/rules.d/99-libftdi.rules
libftdi-0.19-3.fc17.x86_64

The group "plugdev" is a pretty misguided and inflexible Ubuntu concept to grant
device access to ordinary users.

Fedora supports dynamic uder ACLs, and does not want to support any static
groups for users.

The rule needs to be fixed, the group "plugdev" should not exist on Fedora.

The same problem applies to argyllcms:

# fgrep -r plugdev /{etc,lib}/udev/rules.d
/lib/udev/rules.d/55-Argyll.rules:# Otherwise, restrict access to members of the plugdev group
/lib/udev/rules.d/55-Argyll.rules:ENV{COLOR_MEASUREMENT_DEVICE}=="*?", ENV{ACL_MANAGE}!="*?", MODE="660", GROUP="plugdev"
# rpm -qf /lib/udev/rules.d/55-Argyll.rules
argyllcms-1.4.0-2.fc17.x86_64

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-03 22:41:11 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-08-01 00:44:22 UTC

Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
