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. Robert C.
