Permission problem for non-root user #51

Closed shwill closed 6 years ago

shwill commented 7 years ago

This is on Raspbian Jessie Lite:

I am running into a permission error stating that I cannot claim the USB device. Running with sudo works fine.

gphoto2 v2.5.11
libgphoto2 2.5.4
libgphoto2_port 0.12.0

lsusb ID: 04a9:30ee, Canon, Inc. EOS 350D

I then reinstalled gphoto2 from apt-get, there I can run gphoto2 with the user pi (regular user). I checked and it created a new rules-file and saved the existing one with a .save extension. Running a diff on both files just states one line with a possible typo: Instead of GROUP="plugdev" in the .save file it says GUP=plugdev" on one single line. I can't tell if this one is the culprid.

have you tried to reinstall last versions of gphoto2 with our script?

Sorry to let you hang for so long, but my days are quite busy.

I ran your script on a clean raspbian install on an raspberry pi 3. It then only worked with sudo. Since I access gphoto from a nodejs application, I didn't want to run it as sudo, therefore I tried the "official", not up-to-date version that is in the repositories, that one worked fine. By comparing the rules-file, I noticed the difference I mentioned above.

I haven't since ran either your script nor an "apt-get install gphoto2", but I can try it again if my time permits.
