Entangle in Fedora 43 environment
Tom Dryden
First, thanks to the Entangle developers for all their great work. I have installed Entangle in a Fedora 43 environment and ran into difficulties with UDEV and device permissions. The quick solution was to create a rule for canon Cameras (what I currently use) in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-canon.rules. One difficulty here is that udev rules now requires a Group ID (GID) < 1000.
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", MODE="0666" GROUP="video"
The group “video” seemed to be the closest fit.
I mention this issue for two reasons, first if someone else is having this problem this solution will get you going. Secondly, this solution seams very specific and a bit hackish. Does anyone have a suggestion for a better solution? Please let me know if I should report this elsewhere. Thanks Tom

Entangle relies on the libgphoto library for camera control and that library is responsible for shipping udev rules. As a general rule it should have udev matches for every camera they have explicit support for. Either your camera is too new for libgphoto to know about it, or it's a rare bug where they missed a camera. If you want to report a bug about the udev rule then best to send to libgphoto upstream, though check their latest git release to see if your camera has been added since the version in Fedora
With regards
