[solved] picamera

[laudge]

I can acess the camera through picamera only with with sudo
I cannot access it with a normal user.

an idea ?

[Morta]

Add the user in the group of camera with gpasswd

A USB Card Reader is in the group storage

add in the user to the camera group did not help, thanks anyway.

for information user is already in the 'video' group.
I have the same problem with raspistill and raspivid : works with sudo but not for the normal user ...
someone has more ideas ?

[Morta]

What says dmesg when you hit with sudo or without?

and lsusb? or its lspci?

Found the problem !

after every reboot the /dev/vcsm get as group "root" and permission "600"

so to fix it I put in my crontab :
@reboot sudo chmod g+rw /dev/vcsm
@reboot sudo chgrp video /dev/vcsm

not very elegant but does the job.

What is the clean way to force /dev/vcsm to be assign to a particular group and permission ?

[Morta]

chattr -i /dev/group but works only with ext filesystem

[laudge]

thanks morta !

I also figure out that I can create 'udev' rules to setup permission of devices.

Problem solved, I close it.
