Package: flickrfs
Version: 1.3.9.1-8
Severity: normal
I just tried flickrfs for the first time. Out of the box, I got an
error:
fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied
Please make sure that user is added to the fuse group.
I added myself to the fuse group, logged out, logged back in, and got
exactly the same error. As it turns out, /dev/fuse was only accessible
by root on my system:
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 229 2008-09-28 19:09 /dev/fuse
After changing the group to fuse:
crw-rw---- 1 root fuse 10, 229 2008-09-28 19:09 /dev/fuse
everything seems to work fine.

This was an old bug in fuse-utils, see:
