Try to just this: plug your cams USB cable to computer and camera, turn camera on if needed... my Konica don't need that.... then cd /media ls see what items are there... if there are those you don't recognise, that is propably your cam... then mount /media/sda1 or what ever that unkonwn device was and the by doing ls and cd <something> go on until you reach your photos...

If that works for your camera (I don't tried your one) the files should be available under /mnt.

if that didn't get you up and running w/ your camera, as you are using 8.1 plug in any usb card reader and plug the card into that... save the cameras batteries for more importatn useage.. -- j afterthought: I took an IQ test and the results were negative.

1. Put the CF card into a USB CF reader and mount the CF card with: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt You can then copy any pictures you want to the PC (or copy from the PC to the CF card).

I'll have to get a CF reader. Being new to digital cameras and linux is there a particular kind I should get that works with Linux?

I don't know if there's any real difference between the various CF readers. I've got one from SanDisk that plugs into a USB port on my computer. I've also got one (from SanDisk) that plugs into a PCMCIA slot on my laptops. That one mounts with "mount -t vfat /dev/hde1 /mnt". Steve

I have a hama which is similar. I'm trying to figure out how to mount it. How do you mount yours? By what device? I have a HP Photosmart 850 which doesn't seem to work as a mass storage device. John S. David Johanson wrote:

A real simple solution to all of this is to get a card reader. I have an Addonics AEPDMD4 - costs about US $60 - that reads all 4 varieties of memory cards, SM, SD, CF, and MS. Makes all this so easy and no software required.

I'd love to get my Canon G2 working with Linux. I'm yet to find a simple dummies guide to "Here are the first things to do to using your digital camera under linux." (I'm using suse 8.1, Kde 3.0.5). I'm very disappointed with the suse help knowledge base as all it does is send me to an outdated version of gphoto. I went and installed the latest libgphoto2 but don't know if that did anything that I need. I then saw that I should probably get kio_kamera for KDE, and it seems like I should have that already installed yet I can't find "kamera" anywhere yet when I search through my YaST I see that I do have a checkbox next to kdegraphics3-camera so I'm assuming somewhere I have that program yet I don't see it in any of my menus. I have a very difficult time in Linux figuring out what and where I have things installed (i find this aspect much easier in Windows). I do notice that if plug the camera in the USB port and turn it on I can go to control panel - hardware - digital cameras and my camera is listed there. Oddly it isn't until I right click on my camera icon does the lcd on my camera switch to "PC" which it supposedly needs to do to recognize that it's connected. Basically I'm needing some help on what I need to install and what I need to do so that I can pull pictures of my camera. I have searched around google but I seem to get conflicting information as to what I need to do and some of the stuff I try to do doesn't even work. Like this site for instance says http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/linux/jump/0,24331,3389056,00.html Yet when I do tail -f /var/log/messages like they mention I don't get the type of information that is mentioned (nothing mentioning my type of camera etc).

Anyway, I'd appreciate any help. I'm tempted to just do all of this on my XP box since it is a piece of cake there. I'd like to just stick to linux though so any info is much appreciated.

Thanks,

If you plug the camera in, an icon should appear on the desktop.

Otherwise open in konqueror the URL "camera:/" (with kdegraphics3-kamera RPM installed).

Or on the commandline try "gphoto2 --auto-detect -L" to list available images. (needs gphoto RPM installed).

Ciao, Marcus

An alternative way is to purchase a Compact Flash or Smart Card USB reader, you will then be able to mount your card as a normal hard disk. I had my Kodak DC215 working fine with gPhoto, but as I have a 256MB card and the camera only has a serial port on it, it took a long long long time to transfer all images from the camera. I got one of the card readers, Linux sees it as a SCSI drive, so I simply mount it as a SCSI drive with : mount -t msdos /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash Pictures are transfered of pretty darn fast now too! Just a suggestion. -- Thanks, Andrew McCall Internet/Linux System Administrator I.C.T.

Right click on it, and it will mount it (you will see the mount point/ probably /media/sda1). Then right click, open in browser, and Tara!!! there is a folder with your pictures inside... I hope it works, works for me wit a Fujifilm FinePix 2800Z (USB)
