I have searched Google, this list, and debian-gtk-gnome prior to posting
the question. If this is a FAQ, I have not seen anything that helped me
isolate the issue.
Searching Google for "wrong permission /dev/pmu" only yields a total of
26 results, all but 8 of which are screened for being duplicates:
<http://www.google.com/search?q=wrong+permission+%2Fdev%2Fpmu&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial>
The only meaningful results from the Google search is this message from
Kiko Piris in a July 2004 thread:
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2004/07/msg00462.html>
Applying Kiko's recommendation did not change the situation. Also, I
don't think mucking about with udev is something we'd like to pass on to
the average user.
There were a number of Ubuntu-related hits, but none of them led to
anything substantial.
Searching debian-powerpc and debian-gtk-gnome for any of the following
over the past year yields no results (which is particularly interesting
given the subject of the July 2004 thread):
"pmu"
"wrong permission" (with partial match enabled)
"permission" (with partial match enabled) 28 hits, none relevant
I manually combed the 2004 archives month-by-month for debian-gtk-gnome
and didn't find anything, either.
So, if anyone has information about where this FAQ is addressed, I'd
love to have it. Perhaps we can place the information in a more
conspicuous location for everyone.
