I did have the camera in play-mode everytime I tried this exercise. Something that I find a bit worrying, but that could be my inexperience with the internals of USB and the like, is that the USB-subsystem constantly assigns a new address to the port where I hook up the camera: Dmesg shows: usb 5-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 14 usb 5-4: device descriptor read/all, error -71 usb 5-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 15 usb 5-4: USB disconnect, address 15 usb 5-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 16 usb 5-4: device descriptor read/all, error -71 usb 5-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 17 usb 5-4: USB disconnect, address 17 usb 5-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 18 The only difference of the last attempts is that it does not show the device descriptor read/all error. Perhaps it is normal that a new address is assigned though. An auto-detect in Digikam ended in an error-window: "Failed to auto-detect camera. Please check if your camera is turned on and retry or try setting it manually." Well, it is turned on, connected and in play-mode. I tried first switching on the camera and then loading digikam, and also load digikam first and then switch on the camera. Same effect. So this is... another challenge.
