OK well you are in the usb group. One last point - the camera isn't timing out and turning off is it? When I was playing last night trying to figure all this out a point arrived where suddenly I couldn't get anything to work. I discovered my batteries in the camera were so near flat that the camera would switch off about 5 secs after I turned it on, leading to a similar error message. If you are sure its on and staying on, I may be better to come around and sort it for you in front of the machine. One of the annoying things about linux is the way each distro sets up things slightyl differently. This is capable of resolution, just easier if I sit in front of the computer to suss it. Oh one last test: su - this will change you to the root user gphoto2 --list-files if this works as root it confirms that the problem is indeed to do with permissions. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
