I am seeing the same thing in 11.4. Digikam used to see all my cameras, now none of them will work. I'm not sure what the problem is. I posted this earlier about 11.4, but as of yet I have no responses. See "digikam no longer recognizes camera"

Is HAL enabled? Or capable of being enabled in 12.1? IIRC, digikam for KDE3 required HAl to see the cameras. I know that my KPowersave didn't work in 11.4 until I enabled HAL.

Hmm.. Larry,

Interesting theory. Let's see, on 11.4 I have:

08:00 alchemy:~/Documents/ideapad> ps ax | grep hal 1527 ? Ssl 1:23 /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=yes 1779 ? S 0:00 hald-runner 1947 ? S 0:04 hald-addon-input: Listening on /dev/input/event0 /dev/input/event4 /dev/input/event6 /dev/input/event5 /dev/input/event3 /dev/input/event8 1959 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-rfkill-killswitch 1984 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-generic-backlight 2028 ? S 3:12 hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/sr0 (every 2 sec) 2052 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-cpufreq 2053 ? S 0:04 hald-addon-acpi: listening on acpid socket /var/run/acpid.socket

Yup! Hal is running away.. I'll try and look closer at what is and what isn't activated on USB plugin. I'm not that good as sorting out these type of errors, but at least I can forward along any indications I get so the smart folks can help narrow it down :)

ok, this is only about 12.1, have not tried it in 11.4: Here is an fyi re hal. first i disabled it in system services and i could still see my cd/dvd drive in /dev/sr0, also anything i plugged in the usb ports, *with the exception of my camera*. in step 2 i removed everything hal in Yast, the only complaint was about kpowersave, it got clobbered, but all usb devices and cd/dvd and chip card devices that were visible with hal are still visible without hal. The interesting thing is that, in 12.1, when gnome or kde4 are fired up, the camera does not exactly show up as a storage device, instead it appears as something else, in kde4 it was a webcam, don't remember what it appeared as in gnome. so perhaps kde3 just can not pick up these newfangled notifications,eh? d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
