Yesterdeay i did an emerge -u world and got udev-056. Previous I had udev-045 and evrything worked fine. As described in Bug 84465 all Permissions in /dev (except /dev/.udev and those, that were changed, after i logged into X/KDE) or less e.g. /dev/null had 660 set. I had to do a chmod 666 to /dev/null to get X up. I still can't open a xterm. I will try to downgrade to the previous udev this evening ... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Did you run etc-update? # grep null /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules KERNEL="null", NAME="%k", MODE="0666" # ls -la /dev | grep null crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 May 12 10:12 null I even re-emerged and rebooted to make sure.
I can't belive it. I realy forgot to do an etc-update. I think I get old .... I donated 10 Bugs. Maybe that will help me remember ...
now this is wierd. i just "upgraded" my stable branch box to udev-056 and as soon as i ran dispatch-conf, i started having the permission errors at logon, such as the infamous "-bash: /dev/null: Permission denied." interestingly, the problem appears to have disappeared after a reboot. (!)
