[OBORONA-SPAM] Re: USB device permissions

[Gabriel Dragffy]

I didn't find the exact file permissions.d but I did 
have: /etc/udev/permissions.rules

this contained the following:
# USB devices
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="legousbtower*", MODE="0666"
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="lp[0-9]*", GROUP="lp"
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="ub[a-z]*", NAME="%k", MODE="0640", GROUP="plugdev"

My user account is already registered as being in the group "plugdev", but 
still lacks some permissions with reading and writing. Namely I cannot access 
files through a KDE app when the files are on a USB device because it says I 
"can only select local files". But I also have problems deleting 
files/folders, although writing them seems not to be a problem.
