issues

Actually the way things tend to work is by extended permissions attributes.  
They should be getting set to allow a particular user/group access I believe.  
Can you check "# getfacl /dev/dvb"?  For example when I look at /dev/cdrom on 
my system, it's root:root, but I get permissions specifically as my user:

$ getfacl /dev/cdrom getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names# 
file: dev/cdrom# owner: root# group: cdromuser::rw-
user:supermario:rw-group::rw-mask::rw-other::---

I have been using 11.10 very happily, but decided to upgrade to 12.04 (well 
Saturday was a quiet day!).

Everything went smoothly except that my HD5500 cards were all apparently 
'busy'. So I begrudgingly starting learning about permissions and things.

Apparently the issue boils down to the /dev/dvb folding being part of the root 
group, which I assume wasn't the case in 11.10?

As an experiment I tried a chmod -R 777 /dev/dvb 
Which worked!

However whenever I reboot, the permissions get reset :(


I started down the path of learning about a thing called 'udev'. However before 
I get too deep down the rabbit hole, I'm wondering if this is a bug or is there 
more simple fix? I'd rather not learn about udev if I can avoid it :)


I've never ever had a problem with mythbuntu and dvb permissions until 12.04. 
Why now? What's the fix? 

Thanks for any help!
