Hi debian-user readers, I'm not sure that this question is appropriate for debian-user, since it's about Linux and not anything Debian-specific. Still, I first sent it to the linux-usb-users mailing list, but that list is very low-traffic, and I haven't heard anything back. So, I thought I'd throw it out to the wide and helpful audience of debian-user.
I recently purchased a Kodak DC 4800 digital camera, and have been attempting to get it to work. I was using Woody with Linux 2.2.18, but I kept getting the "device not accepting new address (error=-110)" error. So, I upgraded to 2.4.4, and now the camera is properly recognized. However, it seems to me that the devmode and devgid mount options for usbdevfs, which worked fine with 2.2.18, no longer do anything. I have the following line in /etc/fstab: usb /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs devmode=0664,devgid=107 0 0 and I get no errors when mounting occurs; however, usb device files always get created with the permissions of 0644 and gid 0. For example: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18 May 19 13:20 /proc/bus/usb/001/004 The same thing happens when I mount manually, specifying the devmode and devgid options with -o. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Are others having success using usbdevfs with these options in 2.4.4? Thanks for any answers you can provide. -- David Steinberg [EMAIL PROTECTED]
