More on that below -
I've run a bunch of tests as follows: Running kernel 2.6.8.1-10 - attempted to access camera through kdesu konqueror - can see all files - but top shows kdeinit at 99.5% Attempts to kill kdeinit not successful - I can never get the syntax right killall -9 kdeinit takes me back to login screen - login - kdeinit still 98.9% Reboot Top - kdeinit not in first 20+ lines add camera - still not there Open konqueror - kdeinit reaches 23%, then disappears from list. Cannot browse camera in konqueror Cannot ls /mnt/removable Start MCC - check options, then mount with MCC - kdeinit 98.6% Cannot launch konqueror kdeinit drops back to 55% kdesu konqueror launches - kdeinit 98.9% - but can't browse camera Close konqueror - kdeinit 98.6% cannot ls /mnt/removable kdeinit 95.9% shooting up to 99.2% - konsole is the only kde app open at that time. tail /var/log/messages - nothing at all unexpected. No problems apparent. Reboot Kernel 2.6.8.1-12 Booted as linux 3 Can list files on camera Top - kdeinit not on screen Reboot Switch on camera during kde launch - forgot to wait - kdeinit 99.2% without attempting to browse. Reboot Boot to IceWM session Can ls all files Can copy a file and paste it to /home/david ------------ I haven't tried Gnome. I gather that Kaj found the same problem there. If that had not been so I would have felt that it was definitely kde-related. Another thing that puzzles me, is that the first time, when I accessed as root, I could see all the files in konqueror. I did not manage that again. Is there a significance in that on that occasion I accessed as root first - before trying to access as user?
