Camera / Mass Storage Device
Hi all
Well here is my story on this.
Strange, I have a Vivitar Camera, and it's a Mass Storage Type, and works with other distro's
Mepis would not hotplug, and even on re-boot, or end current no hotplug.
After fooling around with fstab and creating directories mnt/camera etc. no effect.
Could not get working.
I deleted and undid what I attempted to do and was going to use Win Xp for my camera at least so I can get my photos off of there. FYI dual boot bye the way.
So anyhow, I decided against using XP since when I booted I was reminded of the updates to the OS and virus update and etc. etc. etc.
So I instantly re-booted thinking I would work on it with Mepis a little more.
And what do you know it's now working perfect for no appearant reason.
So not sure why or if turning off the computer and re-starting had anything to do with it, but it's working.
Nice
Any clues why?
RE:Did you by any chance have the camera plugged in?
Thanks for the reply
Yes it was plugged in when rebooting, however only accidentally.
It does work perfect, however not in digikam.
Only as Mass storage device and comes up on desktop as sda1 hard drive, but when opening the sda1 icon there are my photos.
This is typical for Mass Storage, however if I unplugg the device the icon remains. and if If restart after unpluggin device, then folder is gone.
However if I plug in the device while computer is running I get nothing.
So will changing the fstab effect digikam, or hotplug ability to detect when plugging in?
Please advise and thanks again.
Re:Mass storage
Thanks,
I have moved the line from dynamic to static, and the item appears on desktop. But when mounting it says ( not a valid block device )
This makes no sense since this device works when turning off computer, then restart.
Any other pointers ?
