debian bullseye, and I didn't scroll down far enough in /etc/group, video is there and I'm a member. So there is another blocker somewhere. dmesg is fussing it can't read the firmware or something like that, maybe the card has puked?

I have to plug it into the camera AND turn it on to get fw1. Owned by root:video, and there is no user "video" in /etc/group or /etc/passwd. WT ????There should be a group named video in /etc/group. This is a standard Debian group name, placed there during installation. It originates in the /usr/share/base-passwd/group.master file, and is copied to /etc/group by the base-passwd.postinst script, if the /etc/group file is not already present. During a standard installation, the "initial user" (the one created during installation, with UID 1000) gets added to this group. unicorn:~$ grep video /etc/group video:x:44:greg Perhaps you're looking at one of your non-Debian systems, in which case the groups may be different. .
