RE: [SLE] problem mounting a USB digital camera
My camera (Nikon CoolPix 750) wasn't supported by gphoto either. So I just went and bought a USB card reader which linux recognized as another storage device. I just mount this "drive" and I can then copy the pictures off to the hard drive. You can get card readers for about $20 or so. Hope that helps!

This means that the USB driver has recognised that a device has been connected, has queried the device to find out what it is, and the device has responded.
, but the root console gives the following. hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 3 usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x1132/0x4335) is not claimed by any active driver
This means that there isn't a driver in the kernel which knows how to deal with that type of device. That's OK because user land libraries (like gphoto) can talk to it directly as long as they recognise it.
This is far as I get. Is this just a telltale sign that my camera is not supported or am I missing something? I only get 'unknown device' when I try mounting as a SCSI drive (as all the sources I've read recommend I do).
Anyone with some experience in this department?
Only that I got a digital camera last week and I fiddled about and made it work. I don't understand this mass storage driver thing - it appears to be some concept whereby the camera is made to look like a disk drive and can be accessed as such. I didn't go near that. I just went and got the latest gphoto2 code, followed the instructions, and it worked first time. I've looked on the gphoto list and your camera isn't listed as supported. Unless it's a different make which has been rebadged, you might be out of luck for the moment. You could ask on the gphoto list. -- 2:11pm up 1 day, 5:55, 1 user, load average: 0.07, 0.03, 0.01 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the archives at http://lists.suse.com

Interesting. I'm rather tempted to do the same, because although my camera is supported by gphoto, it's fiddly business connecting up. Are all USB card readers the same, or do I need a particular type, brand, etc? -- 3:11pm up 1 day, 6:55, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.07, 0.04
