Strange udev camera problem and solution?

[Amichai Rotman]

Hi guys,

I have the same problem for a month now.

I knew it's a simple solution like commenting a line out... I just didn't
know which.

Matthew's logic astounds me - how didn't I think of that ?! Kudos to Matthew
!

I am at work now, connected to my Ubuntu Edgy box through an SSH tunnel.

I copied all 3 possible solutions and commented the out.

My question:

Should I do something after the change? I mean: should I log out or restart
a service? Restart the whole system?

I have a USB Canon IXUS 50 (or so it detects my Canon A70).

Thanks!

Amichai
