Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2012-02-02 09:36:30 UTC 
Right, I've tested this with F16 and it worked fine. The problem was that we were not shipping the permissions rules files in colord, and relying on argyllcms to bring them in. Of course, installing argyllcms at runtime would mean you have to replug the hardware before the udev rules would get added, and so you got the permission error.
