Strange udev camera problem and solution?

[Paul Thompson]

You do not need to restart anything, except unplug the camera and plug
it back in if you have already plugged it in.

Note the top of your file (libgphoto2.rule) should look like this:

# udev rules file for libgphoto2 devices (udev < 0.98)
#
#BUS!="usb*", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="usb*", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end"
ACTION!="add", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end"

and the rules will start immediately after.

Regards,

Paul
