Description Eugene Kanter 2003-02-12 19:36:55 UTC 
Description of problem:

minicom uses /usr/sbin/lockdev, but kandy tries to create lock file direclty and
fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kdepim-3.1-2

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure minicom to access any serial port as user (no need to have anything
connected) and verify that there is not "permission denied" errors.
2. start kandy and point it to the same serial port

    
Actual results:

kandy pops up an error dialog.

Expected results:

successful connection.

This is still there in Fedora Core devel
Comment 2 Aleksey Nogin 2004-04-23 19:35:44 UTC 
I also reported this upstream - see
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80228
Comment 3 Aleksey Nogin 2004-04-28 07:22:33 UTC 
Upstream maintainer wrote (in
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80228) that he does not have acces
to a lockdev-based distro and he would like to get a patch.
Comment 4 Petr Rockai 2005-03-17 14:24:14 UTC 
I fixed the bug in upstream CVS. Expect the fix to appear in next KDE and a 
following Fedora release. I will consider backporting this to 3.4 though.
