Request for classic confinement: Tegh

[ogra]

@d1plo1d

@ogra how does the octoprint snap solve this? Wouldn’t they also need to add the confinement root user to dialout?

the octoprint snap does not solve it currently because it refuses to even start as root (so you can not use it as a daemon at all until Phase 1 of 'Opt-in per-snap users/groups' (aka, the 'daemon' user) has landed … )

but your appliactio seems to be able to run as root so you should not need to do anything, if your app starts as a daemon it should a) be running as root and thus have full access to the serial device (like jamie said above) … or if you run the app as a user and the user is in the dialout group it should have full access (same should go for running the app via sudo)

In terms of this request, when you plugs raw-usb, connect it and add your user to the dialout group, does your snap work? If not, are there security denials in the logs? If so, what are they?

@d1plo1d - hi, this request cannot proceed without providing the requested information.

Thanks @jdstrand. I’m juggling a few things at the moment and unfortunately just haven’t had the time to try out the suggestions here. I appreciate all the help from everyone though - I would be totally lost in this otherwise! I’ll give y’all a shout once I have time to devote to debugging snap permissions again.

Cheers,
