On my 8.2 system, I cannot get it to work with the Sony MVC-CD400. It worked with 8.1. I tried the command line and got basically that there was an I/O error. Anyonw else has seen this with their digital camera? Other than this issue, I am enjoying this version. Got it as a gift :) Thanks for any input.

Oh great...I am hoping that 8.2 has a better libgphoto2, but wouldn't be surprised if it didn't (their mailing list isn't useful, never got answers apart from "oh it works this way" even though it doesn't work that way). libgphoto1 was actually a lot more reliable...But they needed the change. Here is the main page for gphoto: http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/ I believe I saw someone with a suse.com mail address on the mailing list, maybe try asking there also (there is a user list, development list etc...).

Thanks, i will go there. I was just hoping that someone from SuSE who does this package would have an idea. I tried compiling my own but I didn't do so well. The problem got worse. I will try a bit later to maybe recompile it. I will look at your suggestion though and let you know what I find out.

Please do. And that guy with suse.de address would have been me I guess ;) Ciao, Marcus

Ciao, Marcus I browsed the list yesterday but have not come up with anything helpful. :( I will also ask there when I get some free time. I was just wanting to ask this list here before going there. :)

Never heard of that camera, it should still work.

The libgphoto2 version is newer. What does gphoto2 --auto-detect -L --debug say? Ciao, Marcus

It is the big brother of the MVC-CD300. But not much is different.
The libgphoto2 version is newer.

<big snip> I still have not been able to resolve the issue with my camera. I have attempted to compile the version from the gphoto site without success. Made matters worse. Also I have attempted to get onto the gphoto forum without success. I keep trying to confirm by replying to the conformation email and it keeps getting bounced back. I know that the cable is good, tested it under windows. Anyone can tell me how best to proceed? Thanks! -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."

Sorry to jump in late, but I didn't pay attention to your earlier posts. When someone mentions gphoto, I let it pass. :-) Here is the general purpose answer for cameras. Not all cameras allow you to access their memory this way, and some don't store the images in standard (jpg) formats. Then you do need gphoto. Have you tried to manually mount the camera? That's what I do. 1. rchotplug start (in case usb isn't running) 2. plug in camera to usb and turn camera on, wait for beep from usb system 3. mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera 4. copy photos from /mnt/camera It dosn't work on all cameras, but does for most of them. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation

I think mine id one of those. Read on.

I can try this but I don't think that it will work. My camera uses PTP to communicate with the computer. The messages log indicates that it see it but there is no driver that can use the device. Gphoto sees the camera as a different model. But refuses to communicate with the camera past that. Keeps saying that there are wrong parameters. So I'm not sure. I will try and keep plugging away at it. Maybe with some help, I might get it to work correctly. :) Thanks for the idea. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
