Hey, Any resolutions to this issue? I have this problem with all my USB devices--camera, palm pilot, usb keychain drive, usb mouse. I have resorted to rebooting with the device plugged in on start up for it to work with virtually any degree of success. And I agree, I get a beep or other indication the computer knows the device is plugged in. It seems as it's SUSE that takes it's time to decide to use the new device........ Thanks much! -m Paul W.

I've noticed that even though the camera doesn't appear right away on the desktop, it's still active. I use digikam with my camera. I plug it in, wait for the beep, turn it on, start Digikam, then connect to the camera...taking about 5 seconds. As soon as digikam picks up the camera and connects, I get the icon on my desktop.
Where is that beep coming from? Not the camera, I assume, since you said the camera isn't yet turned on. And is there a significant delay for Digikam (which I use also) to pick up the camera?
I've tried doing what you did. Plug in the camera, turn it on and wait for the icon to appear. Took quite a long time. To me it doesn't matter since I use digikam all the time.
Would you conclude that having Digikam running speeds up the response time, then?
Thanks for the info though. Also, I don't have any fstab entries for the camera either.
How does the camera show up on your desktop? Depending on whether I have an fstab entry, it shows up either as "sdb1" or "camera".
