[Bug 53017] Re: USB devices created with group root

[Martin Pitt]

Can you please do the following:

  * Plug in the camera
  * Look in dmesg for the USB port number (e. g. 3-2 in your initial report)
  * cd /sys/bus/usb/
  * cd the port number from above dmesg output
  * for i in `find -type f`; do echo -- $i; cat $i; done  /tmp/sysfs.txt

Please attach /tmp/sysfs.txt here. Thank you!

Interesting. I was about to do as you request, but this time my camera
worked.

Guess I'll reopen if the situation comes again.. you may close on my
behalf.

Alright, closing. I will reopen this bug if you get the problem again
and post something here.

Also,

I'm not sure how importance is decided, but this makes the package
totally unusable for me.

Well, I've since reinstalled and still have the same problem. Yes, the
camera is PTP-compatible and hence doesn't need a driver of its own.

Could you please tell me which information do you require?

Setting back to needsinfo. If the camera worked before, it is most
likely PTP capable and thus does not need a separate entry. Something
else seems to have broken for you.

Adding your camera to libgthumb is easy. However, if your cdrom devices
(/dev/hdb or similar) are in group root, then this *is* an udev problem.
Can you please check this again?

I'm afraid I'll need a little more information ... these devices are for
userspace drivers, and it may be entirely correct for them to be owned
by root if there is no known driver for the device.

Please supply a copy of lsusb with the drive, camera, etc. plugged in.

You may find that your drive is accessible as /dev/sda1 and that your
camera is /dev/sdb1 (a lot of cameras appear as mass storage devices and
do not require a special device).
