seemingly out of nowhere I have been having permission problems. My hardware all wants root access to work. For instance my webcam will not work in camorama or vlc unless I open them with sudo I get permission denied. I sudo chown and changed the permission on the webcam then I can open software in user mode and everything works fine until reboot.
I recently borrowed a digital camera and hooked it up. It was recognized by linux and opened digikam but said it couldnt autodetect a camera. I selected the proper driver from the list and it still would not work. I decided to open digikam as root and it autodetected and everything worked fine. I changed the permission with chmod 777 then digikam works correctly until reboot of course.
I hooked up my scanner same problem software does not have permission
No recently I opened k3b and my dvd drive was not detected until either sudo k3b or change permission with chown.
Dvd movies will not play without in any program till permissions are altered
This has gotten more then annoying as time goes on and I finally created a shell script and put it in the autostart folder granting permission at reboot each time. This does work as I want however I need to enter my password at each reboot and I would just like to know why as I am striving to be a linux guru.
I have been reading and reading about this issue and my fstab for the dvd drive is as follows
UUID=ca952590-fc55-4bc5-a519-952e2b05d3b3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,atime,noauto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0
my webcam is not in my fstab and also is there a quick way to see what components are mounted like a konsole command to show my camera is at /dev/video0 etc.
Thank you for your time
