MacOs Gphoto2 running only under sudo

marcelmatula commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug

I am a newbie with MacOs (before I worked with gphoto2 on Ubuntu and Rasbian). When I installed (brew install gphoto2) I am able to take photo only with sudo (not with ordinary user). If there was any program blocking USB port I would expect same error for running command under sudo. I tried to add different groups to user but it did not help.

Error
An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not claim the USB device'): Could not claim interface 0 (No such file or directory). Make sure no other program (MacOS PTPCamera service) or kernel module (such as sdc2xx, stv680, spca50x) is using the device and you have read/write access to the device. Error (-53: 'Could not claim the USB device')

Any suggestion what I am missing in order to run gphoto2 without sudo?

Thanks

Same problem here, happened after upgrading to MacOS Ventura so might be some permission change or anything like PTPCam stealing the camera?

I'm having the exact same issue - also impacts on kstars (uses gphoto in the background)

arkellr commented 1 year ago

Ditto here. Updated to OSX ventura triggered this. I cant seem to figure out what. Running as sudo works though as mentioned. (with current master).

Any clues?

Grasping... Not sure if this might be the reason but I see a launchAgent daemon ie /usr/libexec/ptpcamerad running. Cant recall if this was there prior to Ventura. /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.ptpcamerad.plist Not sure Im willing to edit this plist to disable... yet.

kettenbach-it commented 1 year ago

I don't think it has to do with ptpcamerad. I killed it and still access from a non-root account is not possible.

I think that this is due to the further tightened security settings under the current mac os. https://support.novationmusic.com/hc/en-gb/articles/8380114076434--How-to-Disable-USB-Restricted-Mode-on-macOS-Ventura

Unfortunately, I have not yet figured out how to assign higher privileges to a single program.

kettenbach-it commented 1 year ago

Btw: my EOS Utility doesn't work either. How's it with yours?

arkellr commented 1 year ago

I hvnt tried using EOS utility yet (dont really use it so what version I hv is pretty dated). BTW I tried to kill -9 ptpcamerad but it would always restart instantly... so I couldnt really test if the problem remained without a running ptpcamerad.

kettenbach-it commented 1 year ago

ptpcamerad did that here, too.

I used the mac os activity monitor to permanently end it and then it stays that way

adamhill commented 1 year ago

It is no longer possible to keep ptpcamerad killed from Activity Monitor or using the enable.sh and disable.sh scripts (the database is gone / moved) in Ventura. Simple querying works, but no image capture is possible even with --wait-event=Xs

Passing thru the USB to a VM avoids this, but is annoying.

Any ideas? Any diagnostics I can provide?

thewoz commented 1 year ago

Hi, same problem here. any news?

nicolashahn commented 1 year ago

Seeing the same problem. @adamhill @thewoz did you ever solve it?

nicolashahn commented 1 year ago

I'm not sure what changed but I repeatedly spammed kill -9 ptpcamerad until the command wasn't succeeding anymore, unplugged and replugged in the camera, and then it worked.

thewoz commented 1 year ago

@nicolashahn nope!

jimmybutton commented 1 year ago

Same problem here, any clues anyone?

msmeissn commented 1 year ago

apparently killing ptpcamerad repeatedly helped?

jardof commented 1 year ago

Hi all, I'm facing same issue as you. And I have found workaround that work for me, hopefully It will help you as well. Idea is to connect to camera via gphoto2 before ptpcamera. So in my case I will find pid of ptcamerad by ps aux | grep ptpcamerad and then in one line command run kill -9 [pid_of_process]; gphoto2 --capture-preview; Then I am able to access camera either via command line or from Python code I'm developing. This will remains until you disconnect camera either from USB or turn It off and back On. Hope It helps and hopefully there will be some permanent fix soon.

ghost commented 1 year ago

Hi, Im not familiar with the ptpcamerad process and stuff so the following solution might need a clear review before use.

-Save this as a .plist file in /Library/LaunchDaemons/ (open -a Finder /Library/LaunchDaemons/)


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
 <plist version="1.0">
 <dict>
     <key>Label</key>
     <string>com.example.ptpcamerad</string>
     <key>Program</key>
     <string>/usr/bin/ptpcamerad</string> 
     <key>RunAtLoad</key>
     <true/>
     <key>KeepAlive</key>
     <false/>
</dict>
 </plist>

Be sure to replace /usr/bin/ptpcamerad with your actual path of ptpcamerad (ps aux | grep ptpcamerad retrieves it)

In terminal sudo chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.example.ptpcamerad.plist sudo chmod 644 /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.example.ptpcamerad.plist To set permissions
- In terminal sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.example.ptpcamerad.plist

So basically what it does it sets the property KeepAlive of ptpcamera to False which prevents the process to respawn when killed. You can know kill it once (still spawns once when your computer boots) and you should be fine.

Again, i'm not familiar with this stuff. I found this solution thanks to chatgpt and it works for me. So if you find any issues or reason not to do it please let us know.

arkellr commented 1 year ago

Excellent find. Thanks.

Your soln works for me too. (running OSX 13.4.1).

Yizhou-Li-CV commented 1 year ago

Thank you jardof, your solution works completely fine for me. I am running macOS 13.1.

henrybetts commented 6 months ago

Unfortunately it looks like Apple is pushing developers to use their Camera Extensions. I'm not sure how feasible it is for gphoto to implement this?

Fortunately, Apple have provided a workaround to "Restore legacy video device support", but I can imagine they may remove this ability at some point in the future.

It looks like this has affected quite a few apps/manufacturers, so not just gphoto.

tide1109 commented 2 months ago

I found out, that the app Preview is at least one issue for gphoto.

When Preview is opened in the background (icon in dock), gphoto fails claim my Canon EOS M50 camera. The camera also shows the icon for remote access on the display. If Preview is opened and I use gphoto2 with root access (sudo), it works fine.

If Preview is fully closed (use cmd + Q), gphoto can use the camera without root access. The camera screen also shows the preview again, because the remote access ended.

I used gphoto2 2.5.28 and libgphoto2 2.5.31 with MacOS 14.5.

gphoto / gphoto2

MacOs Gphoto2 running only under sudo #562
