Description of problem:
Connecting a Kodak 3400 digital camera - and it seems for other
models.  A user cannot retrieve files from the camera as a user in
FC3.  It will, however, work as root.

Someone posted a fix on the gphoto2 forums for FC3.  The file
/etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam file points to the wrong location for the
console lock file in FC3.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Gphoto2 - 2.1.4 and 2.1.5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tried 3 seperate installions across 3 machines of Fedora Core 3.
2. Tried in default install and also logged into gnome & updated to
latest updates
3. Plug camera ( Kodak 3400 ) using a usbcable in and cannot retrieve
photos as a user.  Will work fine as root.

    

Actual Results:  gthumb ( seperate problem ) gives a message "The
filesystem doesn't support getting file information" and hangs when
trying to import the photos.

console.  gphoto2 -P ( get all photos ) - gives an error message for a
user.  As root will download the images off the camera.

Expected Results:  It should work as a user.

Additional info:

After I applied the suggested workaround / fix.  I can now use gtkam
and digikam or console gphoto2 -P to download the photos.  gthumb
which is the default program for gnome is broken for the kodak 3400 it
seems and a seperate bug.
