I cant get to work either
a digital camera or a usb key.

usbview shows me that the hardware is detected but i cant find where they are ?

USB works because I have a USB scanner and a USB ISDN modem working fine

Cant seem to find what I am missing here

thanks

Well, what do you do after plugging them in, and what error messages do you get?

Hi
Thanks for your answer
Concerning a camera I try to have it detected with gtcam or an other similar app
And I try to find it in my tree I also check
df -h to see if and where it is mounted

With the USB Key I try to find where it is mounted
and also use
df -h

There are no error messages
I ghave tried this on Ubuntu, knopix, and mandrake10.1 allthese work fine.

Im still on testing maybe I should upgrade to stable ?

df only shows you MOUNTED systems - unless you have automount set up for your USB drive, you wouldn't expect it to work.

Try "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" - this would usually mount a USB drive.

HI
thanks for your answer
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
does nothing for me either

Hotplug should be set up here as i have 2 USB devices working..

Hi Phil81,

Sometimes this USB device is get it in other place as /dev/sb1
See /var/log/kern.log when you turn on your USB camera attached to your PC.

Salu2!

Hi thanks

nope not there either

I have a second debian pc running stable and that one works with
/dev/sda1 /mnt
?

Then you have problems with your modules.
Probably you have to check dmesg if they are loading correctly.

Salu2!

HI thanks for your answer
I checked this and here is part of the consol output :
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

It seems to be ok..

You should try launching "gtkam" as root. Try opening a xterm, using "su" to switch to root, and launching "gtkam". If it works, it's a permission problem. Also make sure you have all gphoto2 related packages installed; you might miss some, even though you have "gtkam" installed.

I'd suggest the same approach with the usb drive. Try switching to root, creating a mountpoint (directory) for the usb stick (e.g. "mkdir /mnt/usbstick") and doing a

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick

You could also try /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1 etc.

If root access works, add following line to your /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbmem vfat users,noauto,sync,dirsync,noatime,rw 0 0

Options "sync", "dirsync" and "noatime" are important, because they disable unnecessary writes to the usb stick. This is useful, because each stick can take only a quite limited number of writes before it breaks (a million?).

Hope this helps.

first figure out if your digital camera is supported under linux, then if it is, I hope it is :smile: , then you have to enable usb camera capability in the linux kernel on a new kernel compile. I have a usb-camera, buts it's the cheap one that only has internal photo storage-no SD/MMC/Compact Flash etc.

you guys can always check '/proc/bus/usb/devices' for information on hardware that your kernel sees
