Hi, I have a Canon Powershot a70 digital camera on a Suse 8.2. I have installed the libgphoto2-2.1.2 source (that should support my camera) and installed but when I start gtkam I get two errors: Could not list folder in '/' Could not initialize camera And this is the output of the kernel in /var/log/messages linux kernel: usb.c: USB device 6 (vend/prod 0x4a9/0x3073) is not claimed by any active driver. What can I do? Can I activate some modules or add some configurations? Thankyou! Giulio F.

IMNSHO, *best* solution is to get a card reader. It acts like a hard drive. Access the card (most are seen automatically by SuSE) and transfer the files to hard drive, put the card back into the camera. You do not have to power up your camera and waste the batteries and do not have to worry about the camera being supported by Linux. Card readers available on sale for us$15.00. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
Hi!
Might be of help - I had similar problems just a week or two ago
with my Powershot S45. It went perfectly fine with SuSE 8.2 but
didn't work with 8.0 (on laptop). So I had to put the newest
libgphoto2 and in addition play around with the hotplug package
and it's config files a bit. The problems were a) the
permissions on the usb devices, and b) the sources of gphoto2
had 2 usb-id instances of my camera, so it was identified as one
and accessed as the other. So I had to hack the libgphoto2
sources as well :) Now it works!
Good luck
Ed
P.S. And I don't like the card-reader solution actually - it
won't hurt to have one, but you wouldn't like to carry one
around with your cam...
