You can open a terminal window and start monitoring your syslog with: tail -fn0 /var/log/syslog | sed 's/^.*localhost //' Then you can access a few pictures on the camera and check if you see error messages in the terminal window.

Please post the output of fdisk -l /dev/sda (You need to be root or a member of group "disk" to run this command.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
