Re: [gentoo-user] Re: OT - Need help setting up Gentoo to access digital camera
Try the gphoto web site and you will see this staring you in the face: http://www.gphoto.org/news/ in short support was added for your camera in 2.1.5. The latest gphoto2 in portage stable is 2.1.4, but 2.1.5 is in ~x86. I suggest you try that, after searching bugs.gentoo.org for any major problems. You can get a list of supported cameras with gphoto2 --list-cameras|grep -i argus, which on version 2.1.4 returns: [EMAIL PROTECTED] movies $ gphoto2 --list-cameras|grep -i argus "Argus DC-100" "Argus DC-1500" "Argus DC-1510" "Argus DC-2000" "Argus DC-2200" Once you have 2.1.5 installed it should be a matter of plugging it in and going: mkdir pics cd pics gphoto2 -P [1] Alternatively, if it has memory cards (as opposed to its own built-in non removable memory) you can buy a card reader - they are cehap and solve all such problems. [1] if you get permission problems there is a very good section in the gphoto2 online docs about setting up USB to solve the problem. http://www.gphoto.org/doc/manual/permissions-usb.html On Sat, 28 May 2005 16:03:15 -0500 Michael Sullivan wrote: > On Sat, 2005-05-28 at 14:39 -0600, Sarpy Sam wrote: > > On 5/28/05, Uwe Klosa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > You should go through the USB HOWTO and SUBMOUNT HOWTO.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: OT - Need help setting up Gentoo to access digital camera
I know the driver that I need for my camera exists on the hard drive. gphoto2 claims that the camera does not exist and I can't figure out how to load the driver manually. I use GNOME.

The system will recognize your camera as a mass storage device. If you are using gphoto2 to access the camera you will not access it like a usb mass storage device. Read the man gphoto2 and you can use it right on the command line real easy. I've got one camera (Sony) that just appears a a USB Mass Storage Device, but the Canon EOS-300D needs gphoto2. For that one I've found gtkam good for interfacing gphoto2 with the camera. It's not the most well build for feature complete programs (only really meant as a proof-of-concept), but it's fine for browsing though the photos and downloading them onto my system. -- Jonathan Wright // life has no meaning unless we can enjoy what we've been given // running gentoo ~ 2.6.11-gentoo-r6-djnauk-b2 i686 AMD Athlon XP 2100+ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
