All I know is it's a Canon Powershot G2, which is listed in KDE control 
center-peripherals-digital camera, and gphoto2, as one of a hundred supported 
cameras. I have no idea of what the name of the "module" should be. 

Again, I've opened the KDE control center-peripherals-digital camera, and 
gphoto2. When I try to configure in the gui, I get things like "Could not 
claim the usb device,"  "could not intialize camera," "Bad parameters,", and 
"could not list folders in /"
 
Basically, all I've read indicates I need to (among countless other 
suggestions and instructions) create /dev/sda1, create /mnt/camera, load 
usb-storage module, and add a line to fstab. However, I don't know which out 
of hundreds of different instructions I've looked at over the last 2 weeks is 
correct, or how to accomplish some items. In any case, it still doesn't work.
