You have to be able to write to them (in theory you're just getting images off the camera but Good Software(tm) sets the "I've been read from the camera" bit in the camera's CF filesystem, so that's a write operation). Look at /dev/usb* and the endpoints /dev/ugen* Do whatever you think best to give yourself write access--either chown to operator and be in the operator group, run ghoto2 as root, or something else clever that suits your security needs. That's my best guess without seeing further error messages and with not being familiar with gPhoto2. -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, CDS - Senior CAD Engineer | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
