I have my lfs/blfs happily working. But there is one thing that I don't know how to do, and it is using gphoto. My system has kde 3.5.5 with digikam 0.8.2, and hal and linux-pam. As root, gphoto detects my camera, but as a normal user I can't. I think it's because of linux-pam, because in other distros I just had to change the group of /dev/usb* with udev and I was done, but now it doesn't seem to work. I don't know what to do. Maybe a combination of permissions with pam and udev... I don't know.
Do you have permissions as an ordinary user? If it's a usb camera, it should be following the udev rule we install with libusb: SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="usb". Is that not working? Are the permissions not coming out correctly in /dev/bus/usb? I don't think pam has anything directly to do with gphoto. When you say gphoto can't detect your camera, what do you mean? The autodetection in HAL isn't working? Running gphoto from the command line doesn't work? I certainly had a camera working correctly with hal and the whole like. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
