Anne, I d/l'ed those files and installed them (removed ye "olde" versions
first). Gnomemeeting now works here, at least it does give me a picture.
IF I run it as root. If I run it from my normal user account I get the same
error message that you and I ran into before. It says that it can't read
/dev/video0.
I su'ered, changed the permissions to 777 (yeah I know - just temporarily to
see if I could get it to work), group and owner to my normal user account,
and still....it won't let my normal user access video0. I went into userdrake
and added every group I could find/think of that might affect this, still no
go.
So...I'm stumped. I don't want to run any app as root that I don't have to,
especially considering it would be connected online.
You can try it there - maybe it will work for you? If so, please tell me what
ls -al /dev/video0
shows for you.
Thanks!
