24 I ran udevadm monitor and then turned on the camera. It didn't see
25 anything either. It acts like it is not plugged in.
26
27 I also tried to run gtkam as root and it saw nothing either. I don't
28 think it is a permissions issue, which I have had a long time ago.

30 I did check for the udev rules and it was updated a couple weeks ago.
31 I'll reemerge libgphoto and friends. Maybe it will help.
32
33 Open to other ideas tho.
