rosrun gscam on ubuntu 11.10

I am using ROS electric on Ubuntu 11.10. I have installed gscam and its rosmake was successfully. For running gscam, as in the gscam wiki is mentioned, I did these steps:

roscd gscam cd bin export GSCAM_CONFIG="v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! video/x-raw-rgb ! ffmpegcolorspace" rosrun gscam gscam

but it says:

Gstreamer Version: GStreamer 0.10.35 Failed to PAUSE.

In the gscam wiki is mentioned that If you see a message about a "failure to PAUSE" or something similar, the most likely cause is a permission issue with the available video devices.

Anybody can help me for this problem.

Many thanks!

Parisa.

just change export GSCAM_CONFIG="v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! video/x-raw-rgb ! ffmpegcolorspace" with export GSCAM_CONFIG="v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw-rgb ! ffmpegcolorspace"

I assume you've already tried:

sudo chmod a+rw /dev/video2

or similar to no effect?
