add org.freedesktop.hal.device-access.gps action
Description of problem:
When I plug in a (e.g. Garmin) GPS device via USB cable,
only root has access to it. Standard software to interface
with the GPS device thus does not work for the logged in
user.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hal-0.5.12-14.20081027git.fc10.i386
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in as user
2. Plug in Garmin USB device
3. Try to download your tracks with
$ gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F tracks-$(date).gpx
Actual results:
Claim interfaced failed: could not claim interface 0: Operation not permitted
Expected results:
empty program output, signifying successful download of the tracks.
Additional info:
I am going attach what I used to solve the issue here. That might
not be fit for distribution with the hal package, but may be of
use for other users or to illustrate the issue.
