Bug 36685 – libgphoto2 should install a proper /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam.usermap

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2003-12-28 15:29:52 UTC]

The one that is installed by the ebuild is blank.  It should probably install a proper one.

[Comment 1 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-12-29 03:01:58 UTC]

which version of libgphoto2? can you include outputs like emerge info?

[Comment 2 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2003-12-29 03:52:05 UTC]

Sure:

$ emerge -vp libgphoto2
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Is there anything else you need?

I had installed media-libs/libgphoto2-2.1.2-r1 after it was bumped stable. /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam.usermap was empty. To help you with this bug I have rebuild media-libs/libgphoto2-2.1.2-r1 and now all known camera's are listed in /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam.usermap. I suspect that the same happens when Chris re-emerge libgphoto2.

[Comment 4 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2004-01-02 18:12:51 UTC]

can one of you try running /usr/lib/libgphoto2/print-usb-usermap ? does it output anything?

it is possible that the usb component hasn't been enabled and thus none of the usb device entries were compiled in.

[Comment 5 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2004-01-02 18:33:06 UTC]

It installs a proper usbmap the SECOND time you emerge the libraries.

[Comment 6 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2004-01-08 19:33:49 UTC]

moving usbcam.usermap generation to postinst() with different filename. print-usb-usermap needs the library files installed before it works properly, hence it only works on second merge, or new entries only get appended on second merge.
