Bug#364938: kamera's kcmshell's Test sometimes does not work
Package: kamera
Version: 4:3.5.2-1
Severity: normal
If a camera is not correctly plugged in, not turned on, or if the user
lacks permission to it (e.g. typically lacks membership of the camera
group), the camera will not show in kamera's kcmshell's list, and will
have to be added manually. Then, trying to use this camera won't work.
Particularly, clicking "Test" will do nothing, while it should at least
hint about missing membership of the camera group.
I assume this is an upstream bug, but am filing this here as upstream
kamera's BTS is not trivial to find. I filed this against kio->kamera as
#126313, although this is actually about the kcmshell, since there was apparently
no better place.
