Package: libv4l-0 Version: 0.6.0-1 Severity: important libv4lconvert.so.0 creates a shm file as current user:
-rw------- 1 xman xman 4096 Aug 18 14:22 /dev/shm/usb-0000:00:1d.1-1:PC Camera When a video capturing application is later run by a different user, libv4lconvert.so.0 fails to reuse this file because of its strict permissions. Video capturing doesn't work until the first user or root deletes the file (or until reboot). If this file is meant to be user-private, it should be put in the home directory or at least include the uid in its name to avoid clashes. If it's rather meant to be accessible by all camera users, care should be taken so that it has appropriate permissions (same user, group and permissions as on the respective /dev/video node, although it might be something for udev rather than for libv4l-0 to take care of). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libv4l-0 depends on: ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries libv4l-0 recommends no packages. libv4l-0 suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
