SuSE 10.0 (and 9.3) I used to be able to have my digital camera automount just by pluggin the USB adapter cable into the camera (and USB port on the computer, of course) so I could copy the JPEG picture images to my system. However, this stopped woring in 9.3 and still does not work in 10.0. Any ideas as how to get this working again. It is REALLY a pain to fire up a Windows system just to perform this trivial task. Thank you, Lucky Leavell

As soon as plugin the USB cable ,open a terminal ,and type "dmesg" and just paste that here. if you see a /dev/sdaX being detected ,just mount it as mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/point/ and you can see all your images in /mnt/point , if this works you can setup the automount,but first see if your comp is detecting the hotplug. -- Thanks and Regards Digvijoy Chatterjee Please Visit http://indra/LiMS and start your Linux Journey **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).

Just because it doesn't automount does not mean you must use windows. It's relatively trivial to just mount it manually, for example mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera Bryan **************************************** Powered by Mepis Linux 3.3.1 KDE 3.3.2 KMail 1.7.2 This is a Microsoft-free computer Bryan S.

Hi Bryan, I'm curious. What does the -t setting do? Eric Jackson ****************************************

Allows you to specify the filesystem type on the device you are mounting. At a command prompt type man mount to learn more.

I know you meant this as an example; /dev/sda1 is the first partition on my SCSI hard drive, or as the fstab entries indicate: /dev/sda1 swap swap pri=42 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 /dev/dvdrecorder /media/dvdrecorder subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev, exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 This is the first time I noticed the USB entry. Does this mean it gets mounted on the /proc filesystem? (I included /dev/dvdrecorded because it does detect and automount when I insert a DVD or CD.) Thank you, Lucky

Lucky, Plug in your device, then type dmesg at a command prompt to see what device name was assigned. Then replace sda1 with the correct device name in the mount command.
