Hi all, I was given a USB camera for Christmas. It is not supported by the latest gphoto2, however a not dissimliar sounding model is. I cannot get gphoto2 to recognise the camera, although 'lsusb' sees it, as for 'usbview' as a "Trust 715 LCD Powerc@m Zoom". This thing can be treated as a removable USB Mass Storage Device. Yet I cannot even mount. cdrecord --scanbus lists it as: scsibus2: 2,0,0 200) 'Trust ' '715 LCD POWERC@M' '1.00' Removable Disk Could someone lend me some clue as to how to at least mount the camera as a disk drive so I can get the photos on it? I might poke the gphoto2 folkes about experimenting with drivers too. Thanks, James

What distro are you using? I have a package called "scsitools" installed under Debian. using the command scsiinfo -l it tells me which scsi block devices are registered and all I have to do to mount a USB Mass storage device is something like mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/device -t vfat (where scsiinfo -l tells me that I have a device /dev/sdb and partition 1 will be the first partition on that device, hence /dev/sdb1) What does dmesg say after you plug the camera in?

Debian Unstable. scsiinfo -l: home:/usr/src/linux# scsiinfo -l home:/usr/src/linux# This even though I've got a true SCSI CD-RW installed and working, and an IDE DVD-RW working through ide-scsi.
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/device -t vfat
(where scsiinfo -l tells me that I have a device /dev/sdb and partition 1 will be the first partition on that device, hence /dev/sdb1)

^ Says to me that the camera is likely to be sdc
Random sampling, I've tried many others:
No then, at a guess, I'd say there's only one partition on the camera, and that what you'll want is: mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/camera Looking at the list of mounts you tried, I couldn't see a single on with sdX1 in them, maybe that's where it was going a bit pete tong ;) Hope that helps, Cheers, Brett

Smells like a missing sd module ;-) You need SCSI disk support for the usb-storage to be able to present a disc for you to mount. Ditto you need the sr_mod module for SCSI CD-ROMs or CD-RWs and the st module for tape drives.

Ok i guess as you have tryed mounting all the scsi device names its a kernel driver problem... just in case its not try this... [dennis@icedesk:~]$ cat /proc/scsi/sg/device_strs PHILIPS CDRW48A P1.3 Generic USB SD Reader 1.00 Generic USB CF Reader 1.01 Generic USB SM Reader 1.02 Generic USB MS Reader 1.03 The SCSI devices are mountable as /dev/sd[abcd]1 for non cd/dvd devices(my cdrw is /dev/scd0). Oh and getting a card reader will only cost £7 from ebuyer(but you still may need to recompile your kernel or use a standard one). Oh maybe you'll need to turn on the kernel opption "probe all LUN's" if the device has more then one "memory" that it allows access to over usb. - Dennis

I have never had to do anything like that on this box, using a stock Debian kernel 2.4.22-1-k7 and hotplug on unstable. I have had a few bits of weirdness though with my 6 in 1 card reader, but these were to do with a kernel not having "probe all luns" and also it changes the order in which each slot is found depending on if there is media in the reader when it is plugged in.

I can confirm this; in fact, I've been doing it for a couple of years now with at least Fuji and Olympus cameras. Using Debian "testing" with hotplug installed, I have a line in my /etc/fstab that reads
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto defaults,rw,user,noauto 0 0
Any user can then plug in the camera and type mount /mnt/camera then copy files from the camera. They can do this manually, or I have a Perl script that renames them to <date>-<frame> format. I also have a Perl script for generating thumbnails and web pages, if anyone's interested; much easier off the command line than with GUI software. ;-) ..Adrian -- Dr Adrian F Clark WEB: http://esewww.essex.ac.uk/~alien/ EMAIL: alien@essex.ac.uk TEL: +44 1206 872432 FAX: +44 1206 872900 PAPER: VASE Lab, Dept ESE, University of Essex, Colchester, CO4 3SQ, UK

I'm using 2.6.1 and don't use hotplug because I find it very confusing to configure. It wasn't necessary for my old camera (which works in gphoto2) or my USB-SCSI adapter. Does the old hotplug work with 2.6 or do I need one that uses udev and sysfs? udev looks much easier to configure, but I think I need to remove devfs from the machine to use it properly. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.

I am using the same camera I bought three distros back. It has never been recognised by gphoto. Originally I could only use it under windoze. In the penultimate distro (RH7.3) I could mount it from the command line. I am currently using Mandrake 9.1. kudzu detects it on power up, adjusts fstab accordingly and even puts an icon on the desktop. Just click and go. With supermount I don't even have to mount/unmount it. Quite worrying really. Ian

Please excuse my ignorance, but when I plug my Canon Digital IXUS into my Dell laptop running SuSE 9.0, an icon comes up on the K desktop and the pictures are all there ready for viewing. Same happens with a friend's ASAD Olympus (All Singing, All Dancing, if that's not a standard FLA). How do I find out by what magic this is occurring? I did nothing special during installation. -- GT

This very distro specific but kudzu is a pretty standard linux hardware detect programme and supermount effectively automatically mounts/unmounts removeable media/drives as media is inserted/removed or drives are connected/disconnected. For digital cameras supermount is probably the key. You try man supermount as a starting point. Ian

If it's a mass storage device then gphoto2 isn't what you want. I assume you have the usb mass storage driver either compiled in or loaded as a module? How are you trying to mount it? Any useful messages from dmesg when you plug it in? J. -- "I will not carve gods." - Bart's Blackboard
