Description kladit 2018-09-21 14:25:17 UTC 
In dmesg I get these error messages :

[    1.096956] udevd[1713]: error opening ATTR{/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXPWRBN:00/input/input2/event2/idVendor} for writing: Permission denied

To my understanding udev should not try to write to idVendor field.

I just added eudev-3.2.7 to the tree.  Can you please test that version and tell me if you still are seeing this problem.  eudev does not need to write to idVendor.  This problem in isolation isn't a problem, but its still wrong.  If anything depends on this, then it might cause a serous problem.

I installed eudev-3.2.7 and can confirm that these erroneous error message
do not emerge anymore.

Thank you.
