RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Tim Waugh 2013-01-28 16:56:02 UTC

Description of problem:
The hplip 3.12.4 re-base puts its udev rules in the wrong location.  Instead of /usr/lib/udev/rules.d it should be /lib/udev/rules.d.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hplip-3.12.4-4.el6

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Connect a multi-function device.
2.Try scanning.
  
Actual results:
Insufficient permissions on device node.

Comment 2 Phil Knirsch 2013-01-30 14:58:26 UTC

Proposing as a blocker as without the very simple fix scanning with locally attached scanners would be completely broken and a regression from RHEL-6.3.

Thanks & regards, Phil

Comment 3 Phil Knirsch 2013-01-30 16:04:45 UTC

After discussion we agreed that local scanners aren't a critical use case so we're moving the fix to be addressed in RHEL-6.5.

Thanks & regards, Phil

Comment 12 Joost Ringoot 2013-10-30 21:00:11 UTC

xsane works for root. 

I tried  working around the issue by making symbolic links in /lib/udev/rules.d to all the files in: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/*

like this:
ln -s /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/* /lib/udev/rules.d/

xsane still doesn't work for the user.

I removed the links and copied the files from /usr/lib/udev/rules.d to /lib/udev/rules.d 

xsane still doesn't work for the user.

If you have a workaround, please add it as a comment.

Thanks,

Comment 13 Joost Ringoot 2013-10-30 21:13:23 UTC

Correction on the previous comment: copying the files to the correct location helps,... only after reboot.
Udev rules are read only at boot.
