Thanks for this, Steve. Yes, I've tried every combination of usb slots, mount -a and rebooting with everything switched on, all without success. The output of usb-view and MCC Hardware List seem to imply that the camera is recognised as being a mass storage device, but not really sure what type, so that no sdx node is being formed. Consequently I can't mount it at all. I tried creating a node sdb, as someone suggested, but it doesn't help. Anne
