I've had similar problems, once or twice, when I've switched users, and
found I couldn't read a card.  It would appear that when the thingummy
was plugged in, a device was created for it on the fly, and that device
was owned by a particular user.  If I had disconnected, and waited a bit
more before changing user, it would have worked.  As is had done, since
then.

I never switch users except perhaps in a terminal when su/root is required. I tried unplugging the cable, waiting, etc. Initially there was no suitable app. installed, I yummed gphoto and things went down hill from there. Restarted F-19 and had to yum gphoto there and a few seconds later was looking ta the pictures of interest!

Fedora-20 has been getting worse each day it seems, so I am preparing to remove and eventually re-install it. The big problem seems to be that it refuses to recognize the user as authorized to do many ordinary things. I don't know what has happened but I don't want to waste any more time with this copy [from the dvd version].

I first need to be certain I've got everything I need copied to F-19. I am writing this from F-19 which works pretty much without a hitch ...

Thanks for the response,

Bob
