Was doing some upgrades to find problem with microtek scanner not being attached to scsi bus. Tried the sane-backends latest and it wanted to upgrade some packages. It was then noticed that couldn't use my Kodak CX7430 with digikam anymore. During the upgrade it installed libgphoto2-2.1.6-r1. Started downgrading packages and rechecking Digikam. When got time to downgrade libgphoto it wanted to downgrade to: pkgconfig-0.17.2-r1 usbutils-0.11-r5 libgphoto2-2.1.6 When it was done with the first two emerges and doing libgphoto2, I tested Digikam again. Still nogo. After libgphoto2 was back to version 2.1.6 again tested and Digikam worked. While using libgphoto2-2.1.6-r1 and Digikam-0.7.4 wasn't working tried connecting to camera with gphoto2-2.1.6 . It worked fine and was able to download my pictures with gphoto2. So gphoto2 connected fine and was able to retrieve pictures, whereas Digikam would not detect camera. Summary: Digikam-0.7.4 doesn't detect camera with libgphoto2-2.1.6-r1 . gphoto2-2.1.6 works fine with libgphoto2-2.1.6-r1 and detects camera. emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/amd64/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.11-gentoo-r5 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r5 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre9 dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /lib/modules /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/alias /var/qmail/control /var/vpopmail/domains /var/vpopmail/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aalib alsa arts audiofile avi bitmap-fonts bonobo cdr crypt cups curl dvd eds emboss encode esd fam flac flash foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gimpprint gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg kde libwww lzw lzw-tiff mad mikmod motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl ogg oggvorbis opengl pdflib perl png ppds python qt quicktime readline scanner sdl spell ssl tcpd theora tiff truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb userlocales vcd vorbis wmf xml xml2 xmms xpm xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
My camera is a UMS camera, and so I can't really test this functionality. I have been looking at the differences between the two versions and they do seem quite minimal. Are you in the plugdev group? Otherwise it seems to be pretty much the same as far as I can tell. I have CCed liquidx on this as he is the package maintainer for libgphoto2.
Just tested it and that was it. Group 'plugdev' is one of those things they seem to have snuck in on me. Guess should have saw it when put the new /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam config file in place. Well, at least this time saw the 'plugdev' in there. So instead of just closing this bug right away. When did plugdev get added? At least as far as libgphoto2 it started using it in this (r1) version. I checked enotices and there isn't anything on needing to add yourself to this group. Don't know how much good it would do, but maybe adding a enotice to the ebuild. Just a thought. Otherwise Fixed. Thanks!
From the media-libs/libgphoto2-2.1.6-r1 ebuild, einfo "Don't forget to add yourself to the plugdev group " einfo "if you want to be able to access your camera." So the notice is already in there, and they added it with the revbumped ebuild. So I am marking this as fixed now. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly :)
Actually saw the notice 'einfo' this time, but if doing a lot of emerges may miss it. I am running thru all my 'enotice' files now in /var/enotice and it isn't there. Don't think it would be in odd company to add it so it would show up in /var/enotice would it? Aren't they wanting to start using this more so people don't miss important information? Just thought it was going to start being a standard place to put notices.
