Hi,
Not sure what to expect here. I grabbed the source and dependencies
to compile entangle on a Ubuntu system. I ended up having to make
at least 1 symbolic link to get things to configure/compile. That
done I connected a Canon A80 and nothing happened.
What do you mean by 'nothing happened' & what exactly did you do
with entangle ? Did the USB device appear to 'lsusb' command
line tool ? Did gphoto2 --auto-detect show anything ? if you
do 'FIle -> Connect Camera' display any cameras when yours
is connected ?
The output of lsusb before and after the camera was connected looked the
same. I didn't try the auto-detect of gphoto2, instead I listed out the
possible cameras and cut-n-pasted the exact match form the list to the
gphoto2 command specifying the A80. Not sure if I did this for the A530
- to be honest. The entangle->file->connect_camera did not find anything.
But, I'll have to add that a "tail -f /var/log/syslog" showed no
activity either when connecting and disconnecting the A80's USB
port.
Next I installed the entangle Fedora package on a Fedora 18 box.
Same thing. So I tried a Canon A530. Same thing.
Is there something about Canon's and Linux that just don't mix? How
odd is that.
The A80 is supported by libgphoto2. The A530 is not supported by
any sofware, since Canon intentionally cripple the firmware

Oh, that is interesting. But, I think if you ask gphoto2 to list
cameras it does have an entry for a Canon A530. I should also add that
I think the A530 was running CHDK instead of its own firmware. At least
until I pulled the SDCard out.
I'm still confused by the Linux boxes not logging any activity when the
USB is connected to the cameras. That troubles me.
-thanks
