[09:32] <ricotz> hi, dmesg requires root permissions now? (running 5.7.0-16.17-generic)
[09:52] <sixwheeledbeast> you can set that in sysctl but no idea if that is default or related
[09:53] <sixwheeledbeast> "sysctl kernel.dmesg_restrict" 
[09:54] <sixwheeledbeast> if 0 it's not that
[09:54] <ricotz> sixwheeledbeast, could be an intended upstream change
[09:54] <ricotz> ppisati, hi, did you notice this? ^
[09:55] <sixwheeledbeast> maybe? is it sysctl? I am not running 5.7
[09:56] <ricotz> kernel.dmesg_restrict = 1
[09:57] <sixwheeledbeast> hmm
[12:53] <dsmythies> That dmesg now needs root persmissions appeared between mainline kernel 5.8-rc1 and 5.8-rc4 (I missed -rc2 and -rc3).
[12:55] <dsmythies> I do no tunserstand the change, becuase the sameinformation is available in /var/log/kern.log.
[13:06] <hggdh>  dsmythies: please see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2020-June/041063.html& LP bug
[13:25] <dsmythies> hggdh: Thank you. I had not realized it was a kernel configuration change. I mainly work upstream in the linux-pm group, but steal the Ubuntu kernel configuration from the mainline kernels. In general I check for config differences, but missed this one.
