I was able to fix my problem by running 'polkit-gnome-authorization' as root,
browsing to org -> freedesktop -> hal -> device-access -> Directly access
digital cameras, then adding Explicit Authorizations for the users I wanted to
have access to the camera. It looks like by default, it gives access to the
user on the Active Console, but ck-list-sessions shows:
Session1:
uid = '1000'
realname = ',,,'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ''
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = '/dev/tty1'
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2009-04-18T12:59:12.774068Z'
idle-since-hint = '2009-04-18T12:59:43.002668Z'
So, for some reason, ConsoleKit doesn't think I'm on the active console.
I don't use GDM ... I use the text login prompt on tty1 then run startx ... I
guess GDM does some magic when starting the session to mark it as 'active'?
There must be some way to do this for text logins as well...
