I am running Suse 8.1. I am trying to download pictures from my digital camera on to the pc and I am unable to do so. It worked for me before. When I plugin the USB cable, an icon used to appear on the desktop and I could download the pictures clicking on that. Now, I dont see any icon.
If I manually browse "camera:/" in konquerer, it displays "bad parameters". I can't figure out what is wrong.
I looked at the /etc/fstab, it adds the following entry when the camera is plugged in through usb.
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 auto noauto,user,exec 0 0 HOTPLUG #B3Fu.4Qjvba2nBh1
But I still dont see any contents under /media/sda1. I think, this problem started when I "unmounted" the already "unmounted" /dev/sda1. I am NOT sure, though. I did that because, the mounted directory was NOT showing pictures that were on the camera but showing pictures that were NOT there on the camera (i mean it was showing deleted pictures)!! Strange as it may sound, I could not figure out that. Some type of caching?? Frustrated, I dont know what I did at that point. From then on, I have this problem.
Make sure that /etc/fstab does not have /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 instead of sda1. Occasionally mine will change for ??no?? reason that I can see; maybe something squirrelly with hotplug. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
