What do you mean by 'nothing happened' & what exactly did you do
with entangle ?  Did the USB device appear to 'lsusb' command

do 'FIle -> Connect Camera' display any cameras when yours
is connected ?

The A80 is supported by libgphoto2. The A530 is not supported by
any sofware, since Canon intentionally cripple the firmware
