Just took a look at your link which I hadn't seen before - thanks. Brief look, as need to go to bed ... Tried digikakam first because was default programme (using KDE). Then did as John Wyles suggested but camera not initalised. Noticed that for some USB ports (? correct name) time to indicate lack of initilisation varied. Not sure f this is important or not. But port at back of computer took longer for message that camera not initialised. While it did it's thing I began to get excited it was going to detect the camera! Thought I could print my output from 'lsmod' but couldn't do the copy and paste for some reason. cheers Rosemary
