The camera is set to PTP; Digikam will autodetect it, but gives me a Connection failed error every time I try to connect. Editing the autodetected camera to the correct model makes no difference.

David, if you have root access and no user access I guess that gphoto is installed but you are not member of the 'camera' group. The udev/hotplug scripts that come with gphoto will set the device to 660 or 664 with root:camera ownership. I my diagnosis is right just do as root: $ addgroup 'user' camera Gerhard -- http://www.gerhard.fr _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

I have gphoto already, but still need to run digikam with root powers. What is the official way? Surely permissions on a device file can be changed? -- David [hidden email] Public key at hkp://www.keys.eu.pgp.net and http://pooter.sourceforge.net/dmatthews.asc The third method (of conquest) can be called economic conquest. It takes place when nations are placed under "tribute" without the use of visible force or coercion, so that the victims do not realize they have been conquered. "Tribute" is collected from them in the form of "legal" debts and taxes, and they believe they are paying it for their own good, for the good of others, or to protect all from some enemy. Their captors become their "benefactors" and "protectors".

However there is no camera group on my system and I look in vain for any scripts in the packages I have that might alter device permissions. Incidently, I have unofficial Slackware packages for digikam and all its dependancies, maybe I should have compiled from source, but the the linux packages site had excellent reviews for them. If I just know what device is involved I can change its permissions manually. -- David [hidden email] Public key at hkp://www.keys.eu.pgp.net and http://pooter.sourceforge.net/dmatthews.asc "If our nation can issue a dollar bond, it can issue a dollar bill.

If it calls out for a group=camera you should add this id to the groups and add your id to camera. The device can be known from lsusb.

At my place it looks like this: $ lsusb Bus 003 Device 012: ID 04a9:30ee Canon, Inc. EOS 350D Bus 003 Device 004: ID 04b8:0122 Seiko Epson Corp. ... This means the device can be found there: $ ls -la /dev/bus/usb/003/012 crw-rw---- 1 root camera 189, 267 2006-07-16 19:25 /dev/bus/usb/003/012 You are not seeing this, meaning that your camera has not been recognized be the system at all. You can check with $ dmesg right after connection the camera to see if and what (udev/hotplug) acts on the new device. Gerhard P.S.
