Sal Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Using MDK 9.1 I'm having a problem here with my Canon A70. It works fine when logged in as root, KDE sees it as a USB PTP Class camera and I can use GTKam, etc with no problems. But as user it is still seen by KDE but I get the "Unable to initialize camera Check your port settings and camera connectivity and try again. (Details-Could not find the requested device on the USB port)" and the "could not list folders in ./". errors. So I know I have a permissions problem but can't figure out how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal Posted September 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 I found an answer to the problem! It involves an easy edit of the /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap file. If you know the vendor and product id of your PTP camera I believe this would work for any PTP camera that is seen by root. Check out this tutorial by Peter Toft.
