Could you please try:

# modprobe usb-uhci; modprobe usb-storage

And then check the logs?

Here's everything related to USB:

Nothing different in /var/log/messages, dmesg, or lsmod, with modules loaded, or camera plugged in or not. usb-storage doesn't load on boot though. Tried to setup in Yast after modules loaded, with same results: 'unable to initialize camera'.

I had a similar problem a few months ago and it turned out to be the motherboard. I didn't spend a lot of time investigating the problem (switching to another machine was easier). Can you test it on another Linux machine? Jethro

It worked fine on the same machine when I was running windoze. I don't have another linux box, so can't test it that way. I do have another digital camera (different manufacturer) so I could try that. Sorry about not doing that before hand. Thanks for prodding my brain cells. I'll report back later on that.

The other camera is a Poloroid Fun! 320 (serial). Set it up on /dev/ttyS0, and it tested fine in Yast, and also in gtkam. I also tried other serial ports, but the tests were unsuccessful (unable to initialize camera). I can take a hint, so I left it alone on ttyS0. gtkam came up with a list of 240 photos, no thumbnails. Could not save, or delete them. I closed down gtkam and restarted, and it listed 7 photos. There are only 4 on the camera. When trying to save a photo, I got an error window that said: Corrupted data: Could not get 'PDC3200001.jpg' from folder '/'. When trying to delete it says: You have been trying to delete 'PDC3200001.jpg' from folder '/', but the filesystem does not support deletion of files. I did a file search for these photos while the camera was still plugged in, and found nothing on the entire drive, not even in /tmp!?! Wierd thing!!! I dumped the camera from Yast and gtkam and set it up again in both. Yast tested fine again, but gtkam said 'no camera detected'. So I tried all the Polaroid cameras, one at a time. 3 tested fine in Yast, but nothing was detected in gtkam! I can't set up the Polaroid in gtkam again. I tried to do the same thing with the Agfa (USB), but all other models listed were serial. I even tried the full setup, with my camera model, again on two other USB ports. Nothing! Same as original.

Does your camera use USB-Mass storage protocol or PTP, for which programs/backends like gphoto2 are used to access, because they don't offer mount points (I think). My camera (Nikon Coolpix 885) Offers the choice in a menu to make it PTP or USB-storage for connection via USB. -- Greg Macek | Senior IT Manager Marketing Resources, Inc. it-guy@mrichi.com | http://www.mrichi.com

When trying to set it up in Yast and gtkam, I am only offered USB as an option by default. I found that if I set up more than one of the same camera, gtkam will give me the option to set up a serial port. I have tried testing several of the serial ports this way with no luck. I'm assuming that because of the defaults in Yast and gtkam, that the camera is USB.

You don't *know* what interface it uses?? What kind of cable is it? Sounds like you need to read the manual to find out.

Ok.... it has a USB interface... as most digital cameras do. From that point, the camera would have a 'protocol' that it uses for transferring information and files: PTP - I think this is photo transfer protocol or something close to that. Mass Storage - It acts like a floppy disk or HD and can be mounted as a disk. This method is supported directly in the kernel. Some other protocol that is supported by gphoto2 or some other means. The trick is to find out how it is supported. (but you knew that already :-)

Well, Bruce:

I'm not familiar with the term PTP. Is it another option for USB, or Serial? In all that I have previously read on my 'Agfa ephoto CL18' when googling and from Agfa.com, it has a USB interface. It came with a USB cable, and has a USB out port. I have tested it on my USB 2, AND (which is redundant, because USB 2 is backward compatible with USB 1 devices) two different USB 1 ports (one on the front of the computer, and a different one on the back). It also has a video out (PAL/NTSC), but I do not have a cable to test it.

Hope this provides more info to use!

TIA

Sorry I didn't answer all your questions.

I'm using the stock gphoto and libgphoto2, and also gtkam, that came with the 8.1 distro.

gphoto 2.1.1-16 libgphoto 2.1.1dev3-26 gtkam 0.1.9-29

That I can see, there's not much difference between these and the current versions available. I did verify that the libgphoto2 that I have, has support for my 'Agfa ephoto CL18' camera, so I did not see a reason to upgrade.

I have tried to manually mount the camera to sda1(2,3...), sdb, sdc..., according to the '[SLE] Digital Camera' thread I found in the February list archives. Actually, I tried everything suggested in that thread, without success. That thread ended without being solved, so this is where I am too!

Bernd This may have been already asked but is this camera a mass storage device?

If it isn't mass storage, you can't mount the device. At least not in Linux. Maybe Windows software will make it emulate a drive. On Thu, 2003-06-05 at 13:35, Marcus Meissner wrote:

The Agfa CL18 is supported by gphoto2, it is not USB mass storage.

As Marcus said, and in previously looking myself, at gphoto2 and libgphoto2, this camera IS Linux supported.

Sorry to chime in here and it seems late in the thread but what version of SuSE are you using? I have a Sony CD-400 that uses PTP and it didn't work in 8.2 until I moved a file. Don't ask me why but it now does work. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."

Trying to get my Agfa ephoto CL18 digital camera to work for the first time:

I'm running SuSE 8.1 personal with k_athlon 2.4.19-66. I purposely used the usb port my scanner is connected to, because I know it works.

Was the camera powered-on when you probed it?

I did both. No difference between the two. Powered on, and heard the camera beep on. Plugged it into the USB port and heard it beep again. Unplugged from the USB port, and it beeped again. So, it is connecting! FYI! You don't need to send the replies to me and the list. Because I am on the list, I will get two of them.
