Bug 122804 – Beagle cannot open inotify device

• Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 122803
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arnob Alam 2006-02-14 08:54:26 UTC]

I am using the gentoo-sources Kernel a Kernel with inotify support and /dev/inotify permissions set to 0644. Beagle complains that inotify isn't enabled.

here is some useful output:

alama@valiant ~ $ beagled --replace --fg --debug

Debug: Command Line: /usr/lib64/beagle/BeagleDaemon.exe --replace --fg --debug

(... snipped ...)

alama@valiant /dev $ ls -la inotify /dev/misc/inotify
