Version: 0.8.2-rc1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux My Praktica luxmedia camera is not autodetected by Digikam, and neither the other Praktica 'driver' nor the general USB driver work.

This is not the right place to report camera drivers wishes. digiKam do not include camera drivers, and use libgphoto2 for that. Please make a new file in gphoto2 bugzilla : http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=8874&atid=108874 Gilles Caulier
OK, reported with at the link given by Gilles: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1579694&group_id=8874&atid=108874 Umm... btw, it does not show nicely to mark this as RESOLVED/INVALID. It *does* apply to Digikam too, as it depends on gphoto dependencies. It seems a general opensource pattern to mark such as ACCEPTED/REPORTED-UPSTREAM. But that's just taste of labeling things, I guess.
OK, it apparently is *not* a gphoto bug: ============================================================ >Comment By: Marcus Meissner (marcusmeissner) Date: 2006-10-18 13:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=48092 its mass storage. we do all the non-mass storage cameras ;) ============================================================ So, Gilles, the ball is back with you.
its a mass storage cameras, so you can add it as such in digikam by hand, or tell the HAL guys that it is a camera. (the hal project) /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-camera-storage.fdi should perhaps list them.
Well, you can try 'Mounted Camera' driver. Also camera interface have been very improved to 0.9.0 release. Please try beta3 available at this place : http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/0.9.0-beta3 Gilles
Gilles, 'Mounted Camera' indeed works. It did not pick the right mount location used by my KDE installation, but that is not too difficult too fix. (It's /media/usbdisk-1 on my Kubuntu 6.06 install.) Can I define in the Digikam source that my Technika camera exists and that it is a mounted camera? BTW, will see if I can find a ubuntu deb for 0.9.0-beta3, or time to compile it. Marcus, my Kubuntu does not have a 10-camera-storage.fdi file :( Checked with packages.ubuntu.com. Which hal version is supposed to have this?
Hi Egon, could you check with 0.9.2? Up-to-date kubuntu packages are at http://www.mpe.mpg.de/~ach/kubuntu/feisty/Pkgs.php Thanks a lot for any feed-back, Arnd
Hi Egon, I would like to close this bug. Any objections? Thanks a lot for any feed-back, Arnd
no objections, it seems. closing this bug now.
