For those -of you still using the old hotplug subsystem, it also adds the file -/etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam during the packaging and appends some text to -/etc/hotplug/usb.usermap in the post-install stage. This appending is -not normally something that we would do with any of our scripts, but in -this case, it should be completely harmless; however, a backup copy of -the file is left in the same directory just in case. - -Since version 2.3.1 build 3, there are two different groups granting -access to your digital camera for non-root users via udev and hotplug. - -From now on the udev rules generated during install set device ownership -to the 'plugdev' group. If this group does not yet exist (users of HAL -should have this group already), you will need to create it and add any -users that may access the camera. A recommended way for adding the 'plugdev' -group would be: - - /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 83 plugdev - -Hotplug users still have to use the group 'camera' and add any users that -should be permitted to access the camera to this group. Alternatively, -you can edit the included doinst.sh file to change "group plugdev" to -"group users" (if you're using udev) or edit /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam after -the package is installed and change "camera" to "users" (if you're using -hotplug) if you want all users to have access to cameras. - -The resulting package *should* work without any manual setup, but in our -testing here, it seems that some cameras aren't recognized by the installed -udev rules. There is at least one reliable report of a change that *may* be -needed if you're using udev-097 from Slackware 11.0: - - This: - BUS!="usb*", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end" - should perhaps be this: - SUBSYSTEM!="usb*", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end" - -However, if the rules installed by libgphoto2 work for you, don't change -anything - this should only be done if they don't work. Note that this is -*not* a bug in the build script or implementation - we just use the provided -tools with libgphoto2 to generate the udev rules; as such, any bug reports -with the udev rules should go to them (feel free to CC our -users list). +The udev rules generated during install set device ownership to the +'plugdev' group. |
