Description of problem: when gphoto is run as a normal user I get An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not claim the USB device'): Could not claim interface 0 (Operation not permitted). Make sure no other program or kernel module (such as sdc2xx, stv680, spca50x) is using the device and you have read/write access to the device. *** Error (-53: 'Could not claim the USB device') *** As root everything works Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
And if you switch the camera off, and then on?
same result
This problem is in /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam The script assumes the name of the current desktop user will be available in a lock file in /var/lock/console/console.lock, but the username nowadays appear as a separate file beside the lockfile. E.g. when the user foo logs in, a file named /var/lock/console/foo appears. There needs to be written a patch...
Please confirm the version of gphoto2 you are using with 'rpm -q gphoto2'. This should have been fixed as a result of bug #130755.
2.4.1.7 This works [root@datacc mike]# /usr/lib/libgphoto2/print-usb-usermap |grep -A1 PDR-M65>>/etc/hotplug/usb.usermap (even import dialogue comes up and all works)
The %post scriptlet of the package should have already done this: postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): # add supported cameras to /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap grep -v '^usbcam' /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap > /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap.tmp /usr/lib/libgphoto2/print-usb-usermap >> /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap.tmp mv /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap.tmp /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap # register libraries /sbin/ldconfig Please check the /root/install.log file that anaconda generated during installation to see if there were any errors when installing the gphoto2 package.
Also: are there any other 'usbcam' entries in usb.usermap other than the ones you have added?
yeah there were I think I know what the issue is now. I have to use a more recent version of libgphoto to support my camera so this line isn't added
Just as a suggestion would it be an idea to split gphoto and libgphoto into seperate RPM's
A more recent version of libgphoto2? We ship 2.1.4, and according to http://sourceforge.net/projects/gphoto that is the more recent. Do you mean CVS?
No feedback; closing.
