Strange udev camera problem and solution?

[Paul Thompson]

Hi,

Just to finish the thread,

SUBSYSTEM!="usb*", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end"

Fixes the problem for Edgy.

I must say, this problem has been around for quite a while and it
should have been patched long ago. It is such a basic simple thing but
it is things like this that turn people off from Linux. Your average
user cannot solve this sort of problem, for them it just is "Linux
cannot see my camera"

Regards,

Paul
