[Bug 488455] Re: /dev/video0 permission problem

[wierdlmate at gmail.com]

Yes, the problem is that

$ ls -l /dev/shm/usb-0000\:00\:1a.1-2\:USB\ Camera\ \(046d\:08da\) 
-rw------- 1 root root 4096 2009-12-02 01:14 /dev/shm/usb-0000:00:1a.1-2:USB Camera (046d:08da)

I got this from another bugreport (I think debian).  Where these
permissions are set, I have no idea---I certainly couldn't see anything
in /etc/udev. Even if I change it to 666, it changes back to 600 after
reboot. That bugreport claimed that the problem was fixed back in
August. Why this is a problem of low importance is not clear to me.  I
think the problem affects everybody on a 64 bit box trying to use skype
because the permissions are probably set by the v4l1 compatibility
package.
