Hi, |
22 |
|
23 |
Probably more important is libgphoto2 instead of gphoto2 standalone |
24 |
package. libgphoto2 includes the udev rules for digital cameras, for |
25 |
example. (You might need to change the default mode that they set.) |
26 |
Your user needs to be in the plugdev group, too. |
27 |
|
28 |
Does it work as root? If so then maybe it's a permission issue. |

I don't use any of the software you've mentioned except for gphoto2, |
31 |
so I'm not sure how they work but you can do the usual monitoring udev |
32 |
(using udevadm) and dbus (using dbus-monitor) etc. to see what's going |
33 |
on. Maybe there'll be some error or something will stand out as being |
34 |
obviously wrong. |
