Hey Group; This is 10.3 GM upgraded. I have a Oylumpus SP-550UZ USB digital camera that is viewed as a usb_storage device with a vfat partition.. It is seen by the USB "lsusb" system everytime and SuSE's "hwinfo --usb". KDE3 brings up a selection menu which I think is related to "hal" "lshal" . However, now and then "My Computer" will see it. I have (as root) mounted it with "mount /dev/sdd1 /media/camera". Sometime it works and other times is states the /dev/hdd1 is not a device. The problem is - unknown and I would blame udev rules for the problem but I have been told that the USB system doesn't follow udev. What is the flow of a hwinfo, lsusb, and lsmod (all look good) get to lshal Could this be a USB 1 and 2 issue. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb@windstream.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
