It took a while, but everything i want out of my 'puters is being delivered by suse 12.1/kde3, that of course being " ALMOST everything," there is just one thing remaining: The only issue is that kde3 somehow fails to recognize my digital camera, a fuji 500esr; the camerta can be seen in gnome and kde4, but *not* in kde3. my ancient olympus *is* visible.(Olympus has a std mini usb plug, fuji has a micro-usb plug if that means anything). The maddening thing is that virtualbox windoze vms do see the fuji and i can move the pics from the camera thru a windoze app, also the built in chipcard reader now works on the laptop, so i do have a workaround or two, even if i don't want to load kde4 or gnome, but still, i would like to plug in the camera and have the 'puter see it. is my camra a usb 3.0 or something and does kde3 need an update to see the relatively new device? has there been an update on usb device protocols lately? any suggestions? also, as an fyi, getting the mike (and skype) to work requires the pulse audio volume pavucontrol app, removing pulse audio was not the answer for me,it's removal caused more problems in 12.1. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
