-Original Message- From: Bruno Diniz de Paula [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, December 14, 2002 10:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Digicams and Debian/Linux Hi all, I have just purchased a digicam (Sony DSC-P7) and I was trying to download the pictures from the camera to my box (Debian sid). When I plug the camera into some of the USB ports, the usbmgr detects the device and the Sony is listed when running lsusb. After doing some googling, I haven't succeded in finding a package or some way to mount the memory card at the camera or to read the pictures after the device was detected by usbmgr. Does some of you know if there is a package in Debian that helps working around this stuff or if there is another better solution? Thanks, Bruno. You should check out the gphoto2 package if the other suggestions for mounting the camera don't work. If that fails, you might want to consider just mounting a USB card reader which is usually simpler to mount. Charlie -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Digicams and Debian/Linux
Hi, I am writing just to report that the camera memory stick could be mounted just the way Kevin instructed me to do. The device used was an scsi, usually used to mount a scsi partition (/dev/sda1), and everything worked perfectly. Thank you all very much for the comments and tips! Now I can play with my camera and download the photos without reboot... Cheers, Bruno.

Here's what I did ... 1. As root, lsmod to see what mods are installed. You should look for: usb-storage usbcore scsi_mod sd_mod usb-uhci input sr_mod You probably don't need all of these, but that's what I've got in mine for my system, which does have SCSI HD's. 2. Edit /etc/fstab by making the entry: /dev/sdc1 /home/userMe/mnt/sony vfat noauto,user 0 0 3. Plug in the camera via the USB 4. Mount the disk with: mount /dev/sdc1 /home/userMe/mnt/sony -t vfat 5. Diagnose by checking: /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog /proc/bus/usb // this will show you what is being seen /proc/scsi // see what's here too That's all it took for me to get it working. HTH.

The package you want is gphoto2 and/or gtkam (gtkam is a GTK frontend to gphoto2). Unfortunately, it doesn't list the DSC-P7 as a supported camera, but it lists several other Sony models, so there's a chance that it will work. There are Debian packages for both in Woody.

I'm not sure what USB methods your particular camera uses, but mine (an Olympus Camedia) uses one of the popular smart cards for storage -- which is basically a usb-storage device, which in turn utilizes the SCSI subsystem. What all this amounts to is that I have the following entry in my /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera vfatuser,rw,noauto,unhide 1 0 And then all I have to do is 'mount /mnt/camera' to be able to access it. Give it a try and see if that might work. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm really positive about the 4800 zoom. You can cleanly mount it as a mass storage device and then copy the pics to harddisk. You can even use it as a data medium to transport data (all kinds of). I integrated the cam as described for the FFPix 1400 zoom: http://modular.fas.harvard.edu/fuji4700/ is an interesting page how to integrate the camera into Linux, and describes the cam to soem extent. . This site http://lhd.zdnet.com/db/dispproduct.php3?DISP?2846 also carries useful informmation.

You don't need gphoto as it is accessible with the usb-storage module. I have a FinePix F601 Zoom here.
