OK this is maddening but I will report what I found. Now, after many tries, what was working, KDE says, I do not have the right permissions. What's really interesting is, when it's not usually saying (by dmesg) "waiting for the device to settle", it says "Trying to read beyond the limits of the device" or exact wording that is extremely similar.
These happens with the internal memory or on my 1GB SD memory card in the cam(that works fine in a good reader). I used the cameras built in format on it's internal memory but it made no difference. I doubt the camera memory came in a differing state than it's internal format command leaves it. I have only formated my 1GB SD by the cameras built in format command. So, (like the internal) I don't think my external card is the issue. Notes: In camera formating may be the safest method of formating memory cards. Flash memory may have that skipped/blank area before the actual partition and that skip is for Flash alignment! Don't write over it! AKA, don't repartition when you format. Sometimes a particular format program also automatically changes the partition; before the actual format. IT WILL DESTABILIZE YOUR DRIVE! this may ve why so many are reported as duds. BUT, I read there MAY also be an issue with end of partition errors that the camera miss-detects, too. You would only see this as you run out of space and a file (perhaps a big movie) over writes the end, and you lose it. My internal memory does fine when it it filled up. Ironically, this "attempt to access beyond end of device" is the message I am getting above but not with the camera, with Kubuntu. So, it could definitely be related. Also, besides Windows tendency to format Flash for FAT32 when it may be best as FAT(VFAT16) for <=4GB Flash, I also read Windows may format the partition similar to a floppy, rather than a hard drive. sda, instead of sda1 for example. This may be rejected by your differing devices (and firmware or drivers) and thus be incompatible across them. So that's Two things about the underlying partition of Flash; that you may not have considered. FYI All that said, it looks to be KDE and this worked before Gusty. Other than a USB reader for the SD or PTP mode with the camera (not fully functioning with internal memory but maybe we can transfer movie clips to a SD first, then use a USB adapter instead of the cam cable), what is the KDE work around that works? -- KDE blocks digital camera detection as usb-scsi disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155788 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
