[Bug 488455] Re: /dev/video0 permission problem
Yeah fixing both the ownership (to root.video) and the permissions (to 660) fix the problem. Until the camera gets unplugged and plugged back in because then a new /dev/shm file gets created. So would installing the debian package on an ubuntu box work? -- /dev/video0 permission problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488455 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Have you tried if changing the ownership of this file fixes it? $ sudo chown apu.apu /dev/shm/usb-* $ xawtv This patch should also work on a 64 bits box. The package was uploaded for i386, then compiled by Debian machines for all other architectures. -- /dev/video0 permission problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488455 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Actually, I think the owner of the /dev/shm/usb-* file is always root.root. Look $ ls -l /dev/shm/usb-* ls: /dev/shm/usb-* nem érhető el: Nincs ilyen fájl vagy könyvtár $ whoami apu plug in camera $ ls -l /dev/shm/usb-* -rw--- 1 root root 4096 2009-12-06 22:07 /dev/shm/usb-:00:1a.1-2:USB Camera (046d:08da) Is the debian patch you mentioned available for 64 bit boxes as well? (B/c the debian bug page you refer to lists only i386 packages.

[Bug 488455] Re: /dev/video0 permission problem
Hi, I confirm this bug on Karmic with the pac207, and I guess this bug should be reassigned from xawtv to libv4l, as explained in http://bugs.debian.org/542204 . A patch is available in this report. Here the /dev/shm/usb-* file is created with the owner and group of the first use who started the camera, so that the camera works only for this user, until the next reboot.

[Bug 488455] Re: /dev/video0 permission problem
Yes, the problem is that $ ls -l /dev/shm/usb-\:00\:1a.1-2\:USB\ Camera\ \(046d\:08da\) -rw--- 1 root root 4096 2009-12-02 01:14 /dev/shm/usb-:00:1a.1-2:USB Camera (046d:08da) I got this from another bugreport (I think debian). Where these permissions are set, I have no idea---I certainly couldn't see anything in /etc/udev. Even if I change it to 666, it changes back to 600 after reboot. That bugreport claimed that the problem was fixed back in August. Why this is a problem of low importance is not clear to me. I think the problem affects everybody on a 64 bit box trying to use skype because the permissions are probably set by the v4l1 compatibility package. -- /dev/video0 permission problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488455 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If the permissions are 666, and xawtv is returning Permission Denied, the problem must be something else ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New ** Package changed: udev (Ubuntu) => xawtv (Ubuntu) -- /dev/video0 permission problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488455 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
