I agree with Jason, a card reader will be much easier to deal with in this case, and you will get much better performance when transferring images using a USB card reader rather than serial.
Having said that, I have been using my usb camera for years with LTSP. What I did was get the gphoto2 command-line application running as a local app on the terminal, and then I built a script that will retrieve all images on the camera into an "incoming" directory on the server. If this succeeds, it asks if I want to remove all images from the camera. This works well for me, since all I have to do is plug in the camera and click an icon. This directory is in my Digikam directory of photos, so while the images are downloading I can watch them appear in Digikam. -Todd Jason Maas wrote: > Hi Barry, > > On Tue, 26 Dec 2006, Barry Cisna wrote: > > >> problem is im trying to use an old Fuji mx-1200 dig cam on the client and >> it never shows that there is an avaiavable serial to choose from,,when >> going through the Digikam wizard,,so hence no worky on the client. >> > > LTSP doesn't include serial port over LAN functionality and trying to > shoehorn it on is almost certainly not worth the effort. > > If all you want to do is get pictures off of your camera then I heartily > recommend that you get a USB memory card reader which can read SmartMedia > cards.
