I can confirm this on Canon Digital Ixus 400. The problem itself is old - I've stumbled on these camera & permissions problems several times between 2003 and now in Debian and Ubuntu.
Anyways, when I plug in my Ixus I get device nodes like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev/bus/usb# lsusb --- snip --- Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04a9:3075 Canon, Inc. IXUS 400 Camera ---snip --- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev/bus/usb# ls -l 002/003 crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 130 2008-03-26 11:03 002/003 I can download the photos as root or if I change the permissions to rw- rw-rw- manually. I agree this should be given high priority - especially if this affects all digital cameras in Hardy. -- Normal user can't access USB camera Error (-53: 'Could not claim the USB device') https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189506 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
