[TiLP-devel] Bogus libusb device node check in libticables ...

[Julien B. <jb...@jb...>]

Hi,

ticables:   check for lib-usb usability:
ticables:     usb filesystem (/proc/bus/usb): mounted
ticables:     node /proc/bus/usb/devices: exists
ticables:     permissions/user/group: -rw-rw-r-- root root
ticables:     is user can r/w on device: no
ticables:     are others can r/w on device: no
ticables:     is the user 'julien' in the group 'root': no
ticables:     => you should add your username at the group 'root' in '/etc/group'
ticables:     => you will have to restart you session, too
ticables:   warning: can't use IO_LIBUSB

Why the hell is libticables wanting to write to /proc/bus/usb/devices ?

The check in linux_mapping.c is completely, utterly broken.

JB.
