Hi there, I just attached my Samsung Digimax 230 Camera to the USB port and tried to get some pics off but to no-avail... Below is a extract from my var/log/message file. I hope someone can help -- I tested the Camera on a friends Windoze box and works 100%... I also tried to downgrade the Hotplug: # rpm -qa |grep hotplug hotplug-0.44-32.5 --> was 0.44.33.22 hotplugctl-0.08-256 even on 0.44.33.22 was also not working ... Thanks...
