or to plug on myslef. I think, though, that if I plug on myself, I will continue going to Win for this function. Camera Sony DSC-W1/W12
http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/w1.html nice camera, and officially supports MacOS X so unix/linux. you could simplify your task by just connecting a (Memory Stick) card reader to your computer. your camera support USB 1 and the much faster USB 2.
according to http://www.johnwyles.com/archives/2004/07/16/sony_dscw1_in_linux.php this camera works.
these are instructions how to work with it using gtkam. are libgphoto2, gPhoto2, and gtkam already installed in your system ?
I have looked at the suggestions by others, but really too new to understand what to do. Any help really appreciated.
If anyone can direct me I'd be grateful. I have begun reading the various references - just makes me overwhelmed
sure, let's go step by step.
I have installed libphoto2, gphoto2 and gtkam, as per johnwyles.
I've looked at the various suggestions on his website, but being a newb, and the various suggestions being diff distribs, feeeling - as I said - ovewrwhelmed.
it might be a problem with mandrake, are you using 10.1 ? sometimes a reboot might help. please reply after each paragraph if possible.
Scanner and camera only things needed in windows. Scannner not really an issue, as rarely used, but camera used often. Would be good to get it going.
yes, is using a card reader as described above an option for you ?
Well - truth is, used to do things in Publisher, which haven't learnt yet - but guess that will come .... Same with photo apps ... and making cards etc
this would be interesting in a new thread.
Just took a look at your link which I hadn't seen before - thanks. Brief look, as need to go to bed ...
sleep well then :-)
Tried digikakam first because was default programme (using KDE). Then did as John Wyles suggested but camera not initalised.it looks like there can be many problems connecting a digital camera to mandrake.

Noticed that for some USB ports (? correct name)
sure :-)
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.
kind regards philippe
