https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852551 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852551#c27 --- Comment #27 from Dean Martin <deano_ferrari@hotmail.com> 2014-01-02 08:46:17 UTC --- After a bit of research which I have documented in the following thread https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/hardware/493692-... I have established that the lack of notification was as a result of missing environment variables being set. Even though libgphoto2 is installed, it is necessary to run /usr/lib64/libgphoto2/print-camera-list udev-rules to get the camera rules instated like this /usr/lib64/libgphoto2/print-camera-list udev-rules version 0.98 group video mode 0666 > /etc/udev/rules.d/90-gphoto.rules However, I found (from searching around online), that it no longer includes the following lines ENV{ID_USB_INTERFACES}=="", IMPORT{program}="usb_id --export %p" ENV{ID_USB_INTERFACES}=="*:08*:*", GOTO="libgphoto2_usb_end" ENV{ID_USB_INTERFACES}=="*:060101:*", ENV{ID_GPHOTO2}="1", ENV{GPHOTO2_DRIVER}="PTP", GOTO="libgphoto2_usb_end" Once I had added the lines above, I found that 'solid-hardware listen' was able to report my camera with appropriate udi and the KDE notifier works as expected. A minimal PTP camera rules file (for notification purposes) # udev rules file for libgphoto2 devices (for udev 0.98 version) # Created from this library: # libgphoto2 2.5.2.1 all camlibs, gcc, ltdl, EXIF # libgphoto2_port 0.10.0 gcc, ltdl, USB, serial lockdev locking # # this file is autogenerated, local changes will be LOST on upgrades ACTION!="add", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end" SUBSYSTEM!="usb|usb_device", GOTO="libgphoto2_usb_end" ENV{ID_USB_INTERFACES}=="", IMPORT{program}="usb_id --export %p" ENV{ID_USB_INTERFACES}=="*:08*:*", GOTO="libgphoto2_usb_end" ENV{ID_USB_INTERFACES}=="*:060101:*", ENV{ID_GPHOTO2}="1", ENV{GPHOTO2_DRIVER}="PTP", GOTO="libgphoto2_usb_end" #Camera model entries can go here eg #ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3234", MODE="0666", GROUP="video" LABEL="libgphoto2_usb_end" LABEL="libgphoto2_rules_end" All that I have removed is the individual camera model entries for setting modes, which are not required for viewing/downloading files. So, maybe libgphoto2 should provide a minimal rules file by default? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
