Hi,
once upgrading to FC5 I lost my ability as a user to use my digital camera. Everything works still fine if I use it as root. As a used, from gphoto2 --debug I got

and the relevant part from root account is:

I'm confident that the problem with permission. In FC4 the hotplug was used which setup such permission. What's the equivalent in FC5. I read about udev and even was able to write two rules, one for my usb stick and another for my camera. The problem is that my camera is not mounted as USB drive, I need to use software in order to download my pictures. From past experience I have suspisious that it may be related to wrong SELinux settings, I may be wrong though.

I would appreciate any feedback on this issue.
Valentin.

I have a poor hack for it. In the file /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules look for these lines:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", \
PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#usbdev}; printf bus/usb/%%03i/%%03i $${K%%%%.*} $${K#*.}'", \
       NAME="%c", MODE="0644"

Then change the mode to MODE="0666". Remember it's a poor hack because it gives write access to everybody.

I think the problem has to do with not being able to mount the camera as a disk. If you can mount as a disk I think udev runs another script (can't remember where it is now) that gets the disk device created which properly gives you write access to. Since your camera is not capable it only gets the usb device created.

FYI to get a better idea what was going on I used udevmonitor and plugged in my camera to see the events.
