+++ 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? --- Additional comment from harald on 2012-04-23 06:31:49 EDT --- $ 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 --- Additional comment from kay on 2012-04-23 07:16:42 EDT --- 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

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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.
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.
