Public bug reported: Hi there,
When I plug in my webcam (Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Web), everything seems to go well. It is detected properly and a device is registered. Apr 4 00:40:15 frussolx1 kernel: [ 3033.044644] quickcam: Registered device: /dev/video0 The device is owned by root:video, however there does not appear to be a "video" group by default in jaunty. crw-rw---- 1 root video 44 81, 0 2009-04-04 10:30 video0 I thought this was strange, so I created a video group and added my user to it. This worked until I re-plugged the camera. Now I see... crw-rw---- 1 root 44 81, 0 2009-04-04 10:30 video0 The device is no longer owned by the video group. Pretty neat... I can chown it to have it work again, but I'd rather find a permanent solution. Relevant /var/log/messages snip.
