how can I make the hpet readable?

[Scary Hallo]

Hello
the Quickscan-tool form raboof said, that I should make the /dev/hpet readable for the audio group.
How can I do this
I'm not so familiar with the command line. Can anybody help?

Hello Scary Hallo,

Probably the best way to do this is to create a new udev rule with the following terminal command (assuming that you're using Ubuntu and are a member of the audio group):

Code: Select all

echo 'KERNEL=="hpet", GROUP="audio"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/40-hpet-permissions.rules

Now reboot and /dev/hpet should be rw for the audio group:

Code: Select all

jeremy@soushi:~$ ls -al /dev/hpet
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 10, 228 2010-07-25 15:48 /dev/hpet
