> Shouldn't you manage permissions from groups instead of hacking udev? Well my user is a member of plugdev, but by default udev has no clue that it should allow plugdev members to access some obscure third-party FPGA board. Someone has to write a udev rule for it, and if they don't share it for others to use, so does the next person. The next person happened to be me. > And why do you have modemmanager if you don't have a modem? And that is the right kind of question! I have absolutely no idea why my stock install of Linux Mint includes and activates ModemManager.
