I have a new Canon S1 camera that wants to talk in PTP mode.
I can run digikam as root and the camera gets connected just fine. But I cannot for the life of me get it to run as a user.
I get the wunnerful resmgr 501 and 502 errors.
...
Can someone give me a clue?
I am not sure but seem to remember that all you need to do is add the device you connect the camera to /etc/resmgr.conf, examples there. PTP would be ?? serial, /dev/ttyS0 or S1....
disclaimer, I am not sure about this but that seems to be the type of error you are receiving. Try it.
gud luk,
Thanks.... but I've discovered something new.... I have a 'lab-rat' machine with a quite unmodified 9.2 on it. I opened digikam on this machine, plugged in the Canon S1, let digikam detect the camera and add it to the list. Voila... it worked. Then I got out of digikam and unplugged the camera and tried the sequence again without doing the detect (since it was already a known camera). No worky. So I went through the sequence again and removed the camera from digikam and let it find it again. It worked again. I then tried this on my normal machine and it would work only by letting digikam detect the camera. Not a Good Thing (tm) but seems to show that the resmgr isn't really the problem. And I'm not sure what device PTP would use but I don't think it is a ttyxxx device. It is a USB device and shows up as such and resmgr.conf seems to allow the user access to any USB device with a few exceptions. PTP is the Photo Transfer Protocol which really shouldn't enter into the connection problems in my view. Still researching.... Strange stuff.
