dmesg found one USB device [10470.528029] usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
which supposedly is the camera (i. e. you plugged it in after starting hal in debug mode). hal then detected it correctly, and tried to apply ACLs, but there aren't any: 5783: adding ACL's for /dev/bus/usb/002/003 **************************************************** 5783: releasing lock on /var/run/hald/acl-list I don't think that hal's ACL system is generally broken, since it does seem to work fine for some other devices: 5697: adding ACL's for /dev/sr0 5697: invoking 'setfacl -m u:1000:rw /dev/sr0' The camera device also has the proper access_control capability and is known by /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/20-libgphoto2.fdi. Can you please give me the output of "polkit-action|grep device-access" ? ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Camera (USB PTP) not accessible to non-root user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407529 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
