just tried to connect my new camera to 12.1. The camera was not detected on the desktop. switched to suse 11.1, the camera was visible immediately. went back to 12.1, installed hal, made sure hal was running, nothing happened. Tried on the laptop, with kde3 the same problem. switched to kde4, the camera was visible. so kde3 in some way fails to announce the camera when it is plugged in. interestingly, with and without hal, under kde3 the camera was visible in a virtualbox windows vm! as a side note, the laptop will be going back to 11.1 as the built in SD card reader fails to show up in 12.1, works just fine with 11.1. soo, if anyone has any ideas to try on the camera /usb issue, i am willing to keep the system installed for 2-3 weeks and test whatever. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
