Bug report

Describe the bug

After upgrading to 18.2 CEC stopped working
I use Pulse-Eight USB - CEC Adapter w/ libcec 4.0.3

Expected Behavior

CEC should work as usual :D

Actual Behavior

On kodi startup I get a notification telling that the adapter as been found then an other notification tells me that it could not connect to it.
In the log I have the following line :
ERROR: OpenConnection - could not opening a connection to the CEC adapter

In setting/input the adapter appears, settings can be changed but nothing works.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start Kodi
2. Do not enjoy CEC capabilities :D

could you please show me: ls -al /dev/ttyACM* in a paste

Could it be possible you aren´t part of the specific group? Because it seems to be a permission problem

[pogman-code]

# ls -al /dev/ttyACM*
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 166, 0 May  3 14:44 /dev/ttyACM0

My user was not in uucp group, adding him to it make the error go away.
My guess is that /dev/ttyACM0 group/rights changed for whatever reason (kernel update or whatnot)

Use the forums next time please ;)
