Use gtkam (in Graphics->Viewer->gtkam if you have installed it). Gphoto2 doesn't have its own GUI.

There is also a KDE GUI for gphoto2, but it crashed when I tried to use it.

Thanks, I did find gtcam, but i am not able to use it, gtkam find my kodak 240 camera on usb, but it does not open the port, maybe some problem with permisson or something. I have done modprobe dc2xx, and with dmesg, I can see my camera on usb, dc2xx0, I have tried to chmod 666 to /dev/usd/dcxx0, still no camera working. Gphoto did work. I have tried to run gtkam as root, with the same result. Gunnar

It's a bug! I tried to detect my camera a second time and got the same error messages you did. Delete the .gphoto directory from your home directory and try again. It should work. No need to change permissions on /dev/usb/dc2xx* JDL

I managed to recreate this error by trying to run two instances of gtkam at once. My best guess is that you had done something similar while trying to set up. I would switch the camera off, reboot or remove the dc2xx0 module and then try again.

I guess the digikam application is just not as well developed as gtkam and doesn't work for some cameras.

I have a kodak dc-3400 and ran into several problems in the past with gphoto, gphoto2 etc. Turns out that most linux kernels load the dc2xx module by default, which interferes with gphoto2. So, if you do a rmmod dc2xx and then run gphoto2 (say with the gui frontend, gtkam), the camera will now be detected and should work fine. See this tip in a forum (albeit mandrake related): http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/troubles/tqhvit2.html#kodak One last thing: I found another site that said none of the kodak cameras can be mounted as a drive using usb-storage module, so if that is your goal (instead of using gtkam, for example) then I would buy a cheap usb compactflash reader and mount that instead.
