Version: 0.7.2 (using KDE 3.4.0 Level "b" , SUSE 9.3) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.4-20a-default I have been using digiKam for over a year, but after I upgraded from SUSE Linux 9.0 to 9.3, digiKam no longer recognizes my Kodak DX4530. After connecting camera thru USB cable, I click on Camera and then select Kodak DX4530, it fails to connect to the camera. The camera is properly connected and it's on. After that, I went to Settings->Configure digiKam->Cameras and removed the Kodak DX4530. If then I click on Auto-Detect, it fails to auto-detect camera. If I Add the Kodak DX4530 from the list again, same error again. I noticed, though, that it point to the mount path "/" which is the root directory on the hard drive, and it's probably pointing to an "access denied" directory?? Thank you in advance for your help and keep up with the good work!
don't worry about the mount path (it's an internal thing). if you have commandline gphoto2 installed, try this commands: gphoto2 --auto-detect gphoto2 -l try both as user and as root.
This is what I get when running those commands: ruser@linux:~> gphoto2 --auto-detect Model Port ---------------------------------------------------------- ruser@linux:~> gphoto2 -l *** Error *** Could not detect any camera *** Error (-105: 'Unknown model') *** Note: the camera works fine with a previous version.
this is not a digikam problem. you will need to the camera working with gphoto2 before you can use it with digikam. please contact either gphoto2 developers (www.gphoto.org) or SuSE to get the camera connection up and running.
check: gphoto2 --list-cameras if it shows any cameras Also ls /proc/bus/usb should show at least 001 devices drivers
gphoto2 --list-cameras ===> gives a long list of cameras, including the DX4530 ls /proc/bus/usb ====> it's an empty directory However, Yast2->Hardware->Hardware Information probes the existence of USB, USB Controller, and USB Hub (???)

/proc/bus/usb must be mounted, (type usbfs) did you remove hotplug from the suse start scripts? or did you compile your own kernel?
Neither. How do I mount /proc/bus/usb? On Monday 06 June 2005 03:46 am, Marcus Meissner wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
You can get the kernel messages of SuSE to see what it is doing when you plugin the camera. As root type the following string on the commandline: tail -f /var/log/messages Then plugin your camera and look at the output in the terminal window. I'm not sure about the problem, but it is possible that SuSE tries to automount the device, and while doing so it probably blocks the acces of gphoto to the camera.. Rinse
