Description Steffen 'j0inty' Stollfuß 2012-02-06 13:11:10 UTC
Hi,

today I noticed that my xosview doesn't start anymore. I remember that an update was made the last days so I started xosview from console and saw.

j0inty@arko ~ $ xosview
SerialMeter::SerialMeter() : xosview must be suid root to use the serial meter.
SerialMeter::SerialMeter() : xosview must be suid root to use the serial meter.

After a "chmod +s /usr/bin/xosview" the tool works again.

I have posted my ~/.Xdefaults file on http://paste.pocoo.org/show/546729/ for a testing configuration.

regards
j0inty

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -1 =xosview-1.9.2
2. start xosview as normal user
3.
Actual Results:  
SerialMeter::SerialMeter() : xosview must be suid root to use the serial meter.

Expected Results:  
Xosview startup and running ;)
