[ubuntu-za] USB devices (camera) in Edgy

[Robert Holm]

I don't like to give up easily. I did some more research
and came across an item in the Linux Gazette that suggested
that making a change in the udev permissions might do the trick.

I went into /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules and changed

# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device",		MODE="0664"

to read

# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device",		MODE="0666"

and now I can import the photos without a hitch. Magic! I just love
Ubuntu.

As this is a home computer there are no security considerations to the
change.

Hope all this will be of use to someone else.

Regards
