[Cooker] USB CompactFlash media
Well, here goes:: I bought a Kodak DC3200 dig. cam. around Christmas time, and it is supported in GPhoto 2.0-- which is still beta, and the camera won't work in it corrrectly. really not at all. But, I have LexarMedia Jumpshot USB CompactFlash reader, and I know that this is probably a dumb question, but where's the support for USB media devices like my Lexar? Winblows turns this device into a Removable Media drive from where I can pull off the pictures, so what do I have to do to get the pictures off the Flash card in Linux? GPhoto has nothing for it. Suggestions, answers? I see no real support for them in Linux, and I know that this is something that Winblows people are accustomed to using, and it makes since to bring such functionality to Linux anyways-~- -- William Bryant [EMAIL PROTECTED] - email __ FREE voicemail, email, and fax...all in one place.

Check http://www.linux-usb.org - I note that no Lexar products are supported and have comments like Lexar uses a proprietary command set to communicate with this device. :-( On the basis of the list there, I bought the SanDisk reader/writer... I'm no USB expert, but on MDK 8.0 (+assorted Cooker, but I don't think that impacts..) I had to insmod the usb-storage module. Once I did that, /dev/sda became a scsi-emulation of the ide compact flash accessed over USB (!). Fast(ish), simple and it worked. I hasten to add that the CF didn't come out of a camera, I was simply blasting a bootable linux system on it to act as a router on an old PC I have...but I'd imagine the principle is identical. Hope this helps (I guess it doesn't, much) /Kevin -- Kevin J.

Re: [Cooker] USB CompactFlash media
Hello Willum! For information, I have used the previous gphoto version (0.4.3) for a while, using a Kodak DC240 through the ttyS0 port. I have experienced a few problems : using Camera / Download selected / Images / Save to disk did not work properly. It either produced bogus JPEG files, either it crashed. However, using Camera / Download index / Thumbnails, and then selecting 3 photos to download with Open in window, I could use Save / Opened images. Then File / Close the 3 opened photos, otherwise it crashes (RAM related problem maybe -- anyway it worked with this). Try this procedure with gphoto 2, and tell me if you have any luck.
