Hi all,
I have been trying to set up a box with Fedora Core 5 for my mother to
use. I have encountered a problem getting the machine to recognise the
camera when logged in as a non-root user.
I have installed gphoto2, as I found via google that the camera uses the
PTP protocol, and gphoto2 should support this protocol.
After yum installed gphoto2, and the configuring was done, I issued the
command:
gphoto2 --get-all-raw-data
and the camera's memory was copied to the root /home directory.
However, when logged in as a non-root user, an error message was
returned, thus:
*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('Bad parameters'): Could not find
USB devic e (vendor 0x40a, product 0x568). Make sure this device is
connected to the compu ter.
*** Error (-2: 'Bad parameters') ***
Doing su does not resolve the problem. The command only works when
logged in as root after booting, or logging out entirely as non-root
user.
Because this error does not occur as root user, it appears that the
problem is a permissions one. No amount of gooling returns a
satisfactory fix, but rather, confusing and seemingly conflicting
advice.
Does anyone have a working solution to this problem, or can they suggest
software that can support PTP protocol cameras that is known to work
with FC5?
The camera is a Kodak LS443.
Thanks for any help in advance,
Clay.
