Apparently, _Mike Chandler_, on 04/15/04 10:09,typed:try usbmgr and usbview (debian) a try and the gphoto2 lib's
Now, using Debian testing, with kernel 2.4.25-1-386, have installed gphoto, (and the front end gtkam). So I run gtkam and it will detect my camera, however there is an error:
Could not initialize camera.
If I try and use kde control center >peripherals >digital camera:
Unable to initialize camera. Check your port settings and camera connectivity and try again.
My USB printer/scanner and USB mouse work fine. I have searched, and searched, and the best I can come up with is USB permissions, or needing SCSI emulation.
I know this can work, because it works in Mandrake.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks.
I am running testing too (2.4.24-1-868), but I have gphoto2, not gphoto, and I can grab pictures from a Canon A300 quite easily: $> dpkg -l gphoto2 gtkam Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

ii gphoto2 2.1.4-2 The gphoto2 digital camera command-line client ii gtk 0.1.2-2 GTK+ application for digital still cameras
So I guess you should try installing gphoto2 and try again. Should work.

Thanks for that, I tried to apt-get usbmgr, but it wanted to uninstall hotplug.
I'm not sure thats what I want to do, do I?
Here's what I have: gphoto2
libgphoto2
gtkam
digikam
Now, using digikam I can access the camera as root, but that's it. gtkam won't access it at all. Weird.
funny that usbmgr tries to uninstall hotplug. after receipt of this message i did <$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug. my machine talked than: /sbin/hotplug
so hotplug plus usbmgr seem to be both on my machine (sarge) without biting each other.
being of the adventurous type i should just let usbmgr let uninstall hotplug and see what happens. seeing with <usbview> as $ and using usbmgr as # .
i gonna install digikam. gonna see what is does. if it does something at all: i 'll let you know.
by the way: in my constellation i can too only as root download pictures from my wife's eos 300D.
cheers,
steef
