I am wondering if ddcutil package should expose some udev
rules.
I want to give my user ability to communicate with monitors without needing sudo. I have found a documentation on this: https://www.ddcutil.com/i2c_permissions/. ddcutil package contains examples in /usr/share/ddcutil/data/. It mentions an i2c group: KERNEL=="i2c-[0-9]*", GROUP="i2c", MODE="0660" I would like to add my user to i2c group. But currently neither ddcutil nor i2c-tools package create this group. I am wondering if ddcutil or i2c-tools _should_ create this group in Arch Linux? Or maybe this group is redundant as we already have video group? Archwiki says that some packages put udev rules to /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/. Shouldn't ddcutil expose 45-ddcutil-i2c.rules there? Additional info: * package version(s): i2c-tools 4.2-1, ddcutil 1.1.0-1 |
This task depends upon
