When plugging in an Olympus C-460 Zoom camera, two instances of Konqueror appear. One points to the URL media:/camera with one item - Olympus C-2040Z and the other to /media/usbdisk. If I use the /media/usbdisk, then I can enter the folders and view my pictures and all is well. However, if I click on the first instance, it takes me to camera://Olympus C-2040Z@[usb:]/ and a message dialog box saying "Could not read file Unspecified error." I have to reboot the computer then in order to see the pictures in /media/usbdisk. Looking at the logs in /var/log/messages, the following appears when I go to camera://Olympus C-2040Z@[usb:]/ Jul 3 17:14:09 jaguar kernel: usb 1-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed while 'kio_kamera' sets config #1 Jul 3 17:14:09 jaguar hal-subfs-mount[8972]: Mount point /media/usbdisk got removed. The SUSE manual suggests looking at http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php to see if the camera is supported. It is not listed here. Some questions: 1) Is there a way to configure it so that it is supported? 2) What does the camera:/ URL do? I can't google for this term as Google ignores the colon in the search :( 3) How do I get rid of the 1st instance of Konqueror from appearing when I plug in the camera so that the media:/camera URL does not appear? It umounts the usb disk when used so I'd rather it was not around as this is all for my grandmother. When I plug the camera into a computer for the first time, I get a message box titled "SUSE hardware detection" with message: A new camera was detected Open with: kfmclient openURL camera:/ ? x Do not ask again Yes No I selected yes on the one system and left the 'Do not ask again' option selected. Where is this option stored? I'd like it to ask me again so that I can choose no! The SUSE Administration Guide indicates that programs are run on an event such as the camera being plugged in, but I can't see anything in any of the /etc/hotplug.d scripts that run either kfmclient or konqueror. Thanks William

The SUSE manual suggests looking at http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php to see if the camera is supported. It is not listed here. Some questions:
1) Is there a way to configure it so that it is supported?
It is supported already. The second folder (with /media/usbdisk) would have worked. This uses USB mass storage, no need for gphoto.
2) What does the camera:/ URL do? I can't google for this term as Google ignores the colon in the search :(
The first one (camera:/) is the KDE kio ioslave, which refers to libgphoto2 support. It uses a different access method for this camera. If this is 9.3, accessing it will remove the USB storage driver. It should however not hang the communication.
3) How do I get rid of the 1st instance of Konqueror from appearing when I plug in the camera so that the media:/camera URL does not appear? It umounts the usb disk when used so I'd rather it was not around as this is all for my grandmother.
In the hardware icon in the lower right of the KDE panel, select that it does not autostart.
When I plug the camera into a computer for the first time, I get a message box titled "SUSE hardware detection" with message:
A new camera was detected
Open with: kfmclient openURL camera:/ ?
x Do not ask again
Yes No
I selected yes on the one system and left the 'Do not ask again' option selected. Where is this option stored? I'd like it to ask me again so that I can choose no! The SUSE Administration Guide indicates that programs are run on an event such as the camera being plugged in, but I can't see anything in any of the /etc/hotplug.d scripts that run either kfmclient or konqueror.
In the hardware icon in the lower right of the KDE panel (suse hardware plugger). Ciao, Marcus

It is supported already. I guess it is in the cvs version, although I couldn't find it when I looked.
The second folder (with /media/usbdisk) would have worked. This uses USB mass storage, no need for gphoto.
Thanks, it does do everything I need.

Sorry, should have said, it is 9.3. The frustrating thing is I upgraded from 9.0 where I didn't have these troubles.
It should however not hang the communication.

Fantastic, got it. Thanks for your helpful reply. William
