As my other post said, there were still permissions problems. I did a reboot, however, and it did solve the problem. Maybe there is something in Lenny, or Sid, that allows the udev rules to work without a reboot, but this is not in Etch? In any case, it is working now. So I added a similar rule in /etc/udev/udev.rules for my new camera that I could access with gtkam as root, but not as a normal user, and rebooted again. Lo and Behold, I can now access the camera as a normal user, too! I am now a happy camper.On Sat, Apr 26, 2008 at 03:59:40PM -0700, Marc Shapiro wrote:Andrei Popescu wrote:Still not working as normal user. It works for root, however, without needing the node in /dev/.static/dev. I hate to reboot. I like the long uptime but we had a power outage recently, so I guess that really isn't much of an issue right now.On Sat, Apr 26, 2008 at 12:08:29PM -0700, Marc Shapiro wrote:All I did (for the DX-9400F) was to unplug/plug it to get the device node recreated. You might want to remove the static device node in /dev/.static/ first.I have added the line to /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_libsane.rules. Do I need to reboot the system to get it recognized, or is there another way? Like restarting a daemon, or something of that sort?You need something like this in /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_libsane.rules # Epson DX-7400 | Epson DX-7400 SYSFS{idVendor}=="04b8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0838", MODE="0664", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"and make sure you are in the 'scanner' group. (I copied that line from my sid machine).A reboot was not needed in my case. Let's check some permissions (this is on my parents lenny where the scanner is installed):
Thanks to all who helped me on both of these issues. -- Marc Shapiro mshapiro_42@yahoo.com
