[opensuse] Re: digital camera
I got an Aluratek AWC2KF. It says on the box that it supports Linux 2.6 so I figured it would work but tumbleweed does not see it when I plug into USB. The KDE System Information detects it when I plug it in and remove it but the USB icon does not activate and applications cannot detect it. There is an Ubuntu driver available that can be modified for other distros according to the documents. The guts seem to be Sunplus Innovation Technology (as reported by KDE System Information). Does anyone know if some camera in the list (for DigiKam or others) will work this camera? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I'm unsure of the meaning of "the camera supports Linux"
so I figured it would work but tumbleweed does not see it when I plug into USB. The KDE System Information detects it when I plug it in and remove it but the USB icon does not activate and applications cannot detect it. There is an Ubuntu driver available that can be modified for other distros according to the documents.
I think that you need to start a camera application first. Like digikam or shotwell. If not, the alternative (which I prefer) is to extract the camera memory card, and connect it on card reading tool to the computer. That is "standard". - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

And there's the matter of bandwidth and power consumption. For some reason uploading via USB seems to eat camera power. Treating the card as a mountable store -- looks like disk -- means that there are plenty of tools for examining it. "Just another file system and files". Gwenview, Dolphin, and tools to examine the EXIF -- exifgrep(1) I used to do this with all my cameras but a while back a pin on my CFcard reader got bent and broke. The one camera that uses CFCards now has to upload via USB.

Thanks.
Are you aware of *alien*, an app that will (hopefully) turn .deb files into .rpm files? Perhaps this may solve your problem. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yeah it once completely bricked my PC, i've had more luck using ark to open .deb's and copying all the files into somewhere under /opt, this probably wouldn't work with drivers neither would alien as normally drivers need to be built against the right kernel. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

personally, I prefer the gphoto package openSUSE provides that will download from just about any USB camera or device (including iPhones, etc..) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

This is a webcam, so try webcam tools like cheese, or try to use it in conferencing apps like Zoom? Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
