Hi all, new bee to ROS, I am following libucv, trying to run my webcam and publish to /camera/image_raw topic. Catkin_make is ok. but when I launch. I got permission denied opening errors like:

any ideas about this? I am pretty sure my cameras are OK, I could find in ls /dev/video* , I even write a simple opencv program showing that I can get my camera run.

Any ideas about this? Thanks!

What permissions does ls -l /dev/video* show?

@joq, the permission is: crwxrwxrwx+

How about /dev/bus/usb/001/*?

Hi,

Unless you're logged in a root then you will not have permission to write to the /dev/bus/usb/001/002 device.

I've just worked around this and it's a bit messy and you have to do it every time you connect the camera. Change your path to /dev/bus/usb/001/ and type "sudo chown <your username=""> 002"

This will give your user the permissions to access this device.
