Description Johannes Meixner 2006-03-10 14:10:13 UTC

After update from 10.0 to 10.1 there are no resmgr permisions
for scanners.

Reason:
The resmgr config has changed for this kind of permissions.
See
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=100695#c3
how it was for 10.0
and see bug #142859 and bug #153705 how it is for 10.1

Easy workaround:
Run YaST scanner config which does the 10.1 stuff.
Therefore only a MINOR problem.

Soultion:
Add an appropriate preinstall scipt to the sane RPM
which does the following:
test if /etc/resmgr.conf.d/50-scanner.conf exists and
test if /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/80-scanner.fdi does not exist
in this case
extract the USB ids from /etc/resmgr.conf.d/50-scanner.conf
and create new /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/80-scanner.fdi
and do matching "/sbin/resmgr add ..." calls.

Comment 1 Johannes Meixner 2006-03-13 15:00:43 UTC

Added postinstall script (because it must run sane-find-scanner
to get USB bus and device numbers for the resmgr calls).

Submitted package sane to STABLE.

Only for information and perhaps for further discussion the content of the post-install script regarding this bug.

Comment 3 Johannes Meixner 2006-03-20 15:54:54 UTC

For your information:
I tested a 10.0 -> 10.1 beta8 update.

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/80-scanner.fdi is perfectly created.

Nevertheless there are still no resmgr permissions for scanners
after update without additional reboot because at package update time
the "resmgr add ..." calls fail and in /var/log/YaST2/y2logRPM is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2006-03-20 16:18:03 sane-1.0.17-8.x86_64.rpm installed ok
Additional rpm output:
warning: /etc/sane.d/dll.conf created as /etc/sane.d/dll.conf.rpmnew
Unable to connect to resource manager: Connection refused
Unable to connect to resource manager: Connection refused
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There is nothing I can do here (still FIXED as good as possible).

The udev -> HAL -> resmgr dependencies are too complicated
so that normal users who don't know which services to restart
will end up in Windows-like reboots.
