Subject: camera access works only when root

Package: digikam
Version: 0.8.0-1-1
Severity: normal

I can access my camera (a Canon A75 trough USB) only when I'm running
digikam as root.

This (setting too strict permissions to USB devices?) is probably really
an udev or gphoto2 issue, but I encountered it first when using digikam.
Maybe digikam could have a setup tool like in k3b which sets the correct
permissions, or digikam deb package could set them in installation?

reassign 342282 libgphoto2-2
severity 342282 grave
severity 341151 grave

merge 342282 342279 341151 341082
thanks

Pekka,

After some futher digging this appears to be a issue between libgphoto and =
the=20
new udev.

I have reassigned the bug to libgphoto2-2 raised severity to grave, as it=20
'makes the package in question unusable or mostly so' and merged with other=
=20
reports of the same issue.

Mark
