Responding to your own query is the mark of the loon. But I forgot, rudely, to mention that Patrick Shanahan has already kindly suggested using 'rchotplug restart' to see if it would get the disk or camera to mount properly; sadly it doesn't.
Did you look in My Computer to see if the camera is in there after you plug it in?
You can do the same thing as above by the URL devices:/ in a konqueror window.
I believe in 9.1 that cameras as well as CDs and floppies are now handled by submount.
Thanks Marshall, yes, as I was saying, the machine sees the camera and makes it go like:
Rather like Art Fore's problems with a firewire hd, I get a 'cant enter folder' message, or sometimes no message at all. Though at least ARt seems to be able to get to part of his disk. SuSEplugger can see the cf disk as a disk in at least some cases, and sometimes a Konq window opens. The camera gets assigned a directory like:
file:/media/usb-storage-odd-NIKON-NIKONDSCD70:0:0:0p1
But the point is that directory is not accessible. You can cd into it, but you cant get an ls (No media found). In some instances Konq opens a window, but it locks up and doesn't display any contents. So submount (if the culprit) is failing to mount it. I'm about to post a transcript of the gory USB logs, in case some USB guru can help ... Thanks again Fergus
