Right click on an empty area on your desktop Select - Create New -> CD/DVD-ROM Device In the filename space, replace "CD/DVD-ROM Device" with the name of your camera ("HP Photosmart" in my case) Select an icon. If you click the drop down box "Applications" and select "Device" there is a nice camera icon. Click the Device tab. Select the device & mount point from the drop down box [/dev/sda1 (/media/sda1) in my case] Make sure "Read Only" is not check if you want to be able to clear the memory. Select the unmounted icon. Click ok. Done.
Also, if the hotplug system doesn't add the line to your /etc/fstab, you may have to do it yourself. Otherwise the device and mount point won't be listed in the device drop down box. I added the line:
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 auto noauto,user,exec,gid=100,umask=000 0 0 This line also eliminates any annoying permission errors I might get.
Hi again, I really appriciate Your help on this. I've made an icon like in Your description. I've put in the line in /etc/fstab. As root. But when I try to mount it I get the answer: "Could not mount the device. Mount: /dev/sda1 is not a proper block device". Can the USB be something else than sda1? Or can I make a change somewhere to get sda1 to become a proper block device somehow? I have a rather new machine, Fujitsu/Siemens. The USB ports are on the front. Regards, Thomas
