I am running Sarge with a 2.6.8-2-k7 Kernel and I want to view/copy the pictures on my new Canon Powershot A520 in via the USB cable and gthumb or similar GUI.
I need advice, how do I get 'this camera' working? I have been removing the media card and putting the card into a media reader card reader on a USB port, but the convenience of plugging in the camera is what I'm looking for. I have found "Libgphoto 2-2.1.6" from http://gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php has support for my camera. But the versions available via apt-get from debian.org http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=Libgphoto&searchon=all&subword=1&version=all&release=all do not include my precious Canon Powershot A520 Backports.org http://www.backports.org/debian/dists/woody/libgphoto2/binary-i386/ has backports for woody. I expanded the file I found http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8874&release_id=337127 into a /home/me/ directory and ran the install script, but that did not work. Gthumb uses the other also installed version of Libgphoto. -- Dan Hunt Saint Brieux Saskatchewan Canada
