In my /etc/fstab I have the following line: none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs devuid=0,devgid=102,devmode=0660 0 0 This line said that I want to mount automatically (at boot time) the usb devives filesystem at the mount point /proc/bus/usb with the userid 0 the group id 102 and the mode 0660 (for all files in this filesystem). Then when this filesystem is mounted you will see files appears when you plug a device. These files are used by the userland tool to use you camera. gphoto2 use the library libusb to access your usb device. So you need to mount correctly usbdevfs, install gphoto2-2.0beta5 (which is in sid now) and libusb0 (version >= 0.1.5) and then when you are ready send me a mail. You camera is not supported in the last beta but could be use with a special option that we will determine together. If we succeed using your camera then it will be easy to add it in the supported cameras list.

Re: HP Photosmart 715 (215) USB digital camera
hello, i have an update! afaik, the camera doesn't have any other usb settings... i was able to mount it, tho, with: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cam -t usbdevfs and then cam had three dir's, 001/, device/, and drivers/. 001/ contains three "files", numbered, but not in sequence. i first thought these were the images, but i could not read them with any application. i currently have 5 pics on the camera, not three. the other two dir's contained only camera information, as well as the current kernel modules being used to access the camera. i installed gphoto2. it kept telling my "No Such Directory". running gphoto2 in debug mode, i saw it was looking for gphoto2 where there was a gphoto2_port ... i can't remember the exact name... it was in /usr/lib, maybe. so, i created a symlink from the gphoto2_port to gphoto2, and tried it again, in debug mode. no more Directory error, but now the --list-camera tells me 0 (zero) cameras found. also, in debug mode, it looks as if certian libraries aren't being read properly - it says "failed to open ...library ... is a valid library... the gphoto2 i installed was from a woody image from back in november. i will see if i can fit the latest version on a floppy in case it has changed since then -- i'll also remove my symlink first! if anyone has any other ideas, please let me know! thanks again, jason On Tue, Feb 12, 2002 at 11:12:18PM +0100, David Karlström wrote: | I think that you have to set the camera in some special USB-mode (using the | setup-menu on the camera).

Re: HP Photosmart 715 (215) USB digital camera
I think that you have to set the camera in some special USB-mode (using the setup-menu on the camera). There are two modes, one works, one doesn't... I tried it on mine, and it was detected as a scsi-drive with the correct size.
