Actually I believe you're better off to su to root in a term and
run gphoto that way. The problem you mentioned in an earlier post, not
havin the cable inserted all the way into the camera often causes
gphoto to freeze. Same is true if the cable isn't making good
connection on the computers port, or if the camera batteries are low.
When this happens, it's a lot easier to kill gphoto with a Ctrl-C and
restart it after checking the cable, replacing batteries. Anyhow
that's how I prefer to run it. Otherwise look into chmod /dev/ttyS?
