and that's it? the device isn't resolving properly. Try a different
USB port.
Since you are in a time crunch, can I recommend that you just buy an
inexpensive card reader and use that in the interim? YOu could spend a
significant amount of time trying to resolve this when you should be
packing!
A (the other one)
I'll just leave that there and we can recycle as needed.
I have tried the camera on my wife's Etch machine and first time out,
the camera auto-mounted and I could access the photos!! She runs KDE. So
I logged out of Gnome and back into KDE on my Lenny machine and again
the camera (sort of) auto-mounted, but this time I got an error message
that informed me it didn't recognise the camera type. On my wife's
machine, the camera type was recognised immediately. I also tried Xfce4
but zippo happened there, not even the dialog box!!
On her machine, she does not have gphoto2 installed, nor was she set up
as a member of any camera group. She is also running an earlier kernel
(2.6.18, I think). So I rebooted and booted into 2.6.18 and all of the
above still applied.
So, the good news is - the camera is obviously not the problem but the
bad news is, is that it is something with my machine. But what that is,
I really don't know. I have switched the USB to a different port, still
no dice.
Any further thoughts on this, given the foregoing additional info?
Cheers all
A
