digital cameras

After you plug your camera in, have a look at the tail end of /var/log/messages and /etc/fstab to see how it's identified. It might help to post the lines concerning your camera into this forum.

am running 3.4.3 newest.looked in list of cameras identified dsc s 40 is not in list -could that possibly be the problem dsc s 41 is listed.thanks john

here's how>

Add this to /etc/fstab(I put mine in the static side)->
/dev/sda /mnt/sda auto noauto,users,exec 0 0

looks like>
# Pluggable devices are handled by uDev, they are not in fstab
/dev/hda3 / ext2 defaults,noatime 1 1
/dev/hdb1 swap swap sw,pri=1 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=0666 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda /mnt/sda auto noauto,users,exec 0 0
# Dynamic entries below, identified by 'users' option
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 vfat,ext3,ext2 noauto,users,exec 0 0
/dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4 vfat,ext3,ext2 noauto,users,exec 0 0
/dev/hdb2 /mnt/hdb2 auto noauto,users,exec 0 0

Then in /mnt right click a blank area and create a folder name it "sda"

Now try your camera.

thanks kerry what about using digicam program to identify camera-will that work?like to keep it simple.thanks john

Try it. It should be able to mnt if you used that fix. I think it depends on the camera storage form, from your error i was guessing it has a memory stick that you can mnt as a external drive. You can also try the digital camera thing in the control center periphials.

Thank you Kerry.
Thanks to your tip, I have been able to use my 8in1 card reader for the first time, my camera still does not work, but at least I can see my photos.

Perhaps the camera is not supported? I've looked at the list of supported camera's and it's a short list. the ones with removable media is the way to go when it comes to camera's.take care.

hi kerry tried digikam-still did not mount -yes list of supported cameras is short-mine is not listed-any other ideas.went to usb devices and see that the only support for sony cameras are dsc s30 s70/s75 f505v/f505/fd92.thanks john

After plugging in your digital camera, try typing

fdisk -l

That's dash el, not dash one. You might have to do this as superuser. Does your camera show up in the list?

thanks wilberforce i see mepis just released a new download gonna try it and get back to you. tried 3.4.3-3 newest mepis and camera works first try.john
