Easy workaround would be to change /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev- default.rules :
KERNEL=="nvidia*|nvidiactl*", GROUP="video", MODE="0660" However that requires current user to be in the video group, and that will probably cause a lot of issues on its own, since by default users are not part of the video group, and probably not a change you want to push except in a next major release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/979307 Title: /dev/nvidia* is world writable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/979307/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
