   I run Mageia Linux so I do not have the problem. But I would verify you   
   do not have a file ownership problem. I have seen people run app as   
   as root and user app files become owned by root causing problems. Click up   
   a user terminal and paste the next two lines   
      
    find $HOME \( -not -user $USER -or -not -group $LOGNAME \) \   
      -exec ls -ald '{}'  \;   
   and check owner/group on any lines that show up.   
      
   I had VLC not run after a screen crash which left a vlc running in the   
   background and could not connect back to my camera. Did a reboot   
   and everything went back to normal.
