You need to look at the /dev permissions and associated udev rules. The CD/DVD devices (look at the /dev/cdrom* symlinks) are created with cdrom group permissions. I'm not sure what method you followed to install libgphoto2, but the package contains a program to create udev rules with an appropriate group (I was using the camera group). However, without the rules, I think the regular usb udev rule should be used, which sets the group to usb. Need some more details here. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
