First thing you should do is simply plug it in and look at dmesg. Dmesg will tell you if it sees it. You should see something like this: hub.c: new USB device 00:02.0-1, assigned address 7 WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured USB Mass Storage device found at 7 Then go look at more detailes info. Do: cat /proc/bus/usb/devices You'll get detailed info on all USB devices seen by your kernel. At this moment, my Olympus D-550 camera is set as a USB mass storage device. (not mounted at this time) Below is the info from the above command re. the camera: T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 7 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=07b4 ProdID=0105 Rev= 1.00 S: Manufacturer=OLYMPUS S: Product=C300Z/D550Z S: SerialNumber=000230C09724 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=06 Prot=50 Driver=usb-storage E: Ad=04(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=83(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms Do you need gphoto for some reason? Most cameras can be mounted as mass storage devices and the pictures opened with the app of your choice. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
