Starting with Hardy, Ubuntu no longer uses device file ownership to
control access to devices like cameras, scanners & memory sticks.
Instead the HAL/ConsoleKit/PolicyKit system allows access to the device
file for the currently active user by manipulating the ACLs on the
device file. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/HardyHardwareDetection for
more info. The expected behaviour is for the device file to be owned by
root.root, but if you use "getfacl /dev/bus/usb/BBB/DDD" you should see
an Access Control List that grants your username rw- access.
The libgphoto2-2 postinst script now actually runs "/usr/lib/libgphoto2
/print-camera-list hal-fdi >
/usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/20-libgphoto2.fdi"
Having "said" all that, it obviously isn't working properly for you. To
help the devs track down the problem, the following info would be
useful:
1. The version of the libgphoto2-2 package you have installed
2. With the camera plugged in and switched on, use "lsusb" to find the
Bus and Device number the camera is using and then attach the output of
"lsusb -vs BBB:DDD" to this bug report (e.g. lsusb -vs 003:005 >
lsusb.txt and then attach lsusb.txt)
3. Attach the output of "lshal" to this report.
