Hmm. Well, Gphoto didn't freeze, it just told me that it couldn't find the
camera (might as well be the same diff, as far as results go, eh? <smile>)
Anyways, what about the problem I had with the "-" character in front of the
filenames it uses to save the pics with (did you read that msg?). With a "-" in
front of a filename, from a shell/command line, I can't do chmod, chgrp, or
chown without an error message. I have to manually rename each file, removing
the "-". Odd that.
I did try something else with permissions as well. I went to /dev, and "ls al"
all the ttysX files, and noted that root owns them, and they are in a group
called tty. The permissions are crw-rw-rw-. So, I went to /etc/group, and added
my username to the group tty in the group file, thinking it would allow my user
access. I rebooted, and tried again but still no luck. Shouldn't that have
worked?
Thanks for all your help! ;-)
