Hullo there,
I'm trying to use gphoto2 on a debian linux box. The camera in question is an HP Photosmart R507, which is detected when usb is plugged, but no device is being assigned in /proc/bus/usb.
Any ideas as to why welcome. It works on another debian box okay, and I can see the new device appearing.
Thanks,
Jenny

Does it appear in /dev/bus/usb/ instead? Do you have something mounted on /proc/bus/usb/ correctly? For example, I have:
procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
If that's not mounted you won't see anything in that directory.

Yes, it does! My phone appears in /proc/bus/usb though.

Yes, I do have that mounted.
Not sure what this all means.
Thanks,

This is now fixed: knowing where the device was appearing allowed me to check directory permissions and add the correct lines to /etc/group.
Many thanks, Jonathan,
