From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 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.
Please attach the usbcam script that you now have.
Created attachment 109580 [details] fixed usbcam file with old lines commented out.
This is functionally identical to the usbcam we actually ship. Since you mention 2.1.5 above, it seems you probably installed from source and overwrote it using the upstream version, not our fixed version packaged in the RPM.
