[newbie] USB Camera
Hi List, When I plug in my Sony 717 camera the first time, it automounts as /mnt/camera and when I unplug it, several hours later it unmounts. Then when I plug it back in, it does not mount. I can go to mcc and mount anything config screens and it then mounts without me doing anything else. This only rates as a small pita, but I'm curious. mdk 9.2 Any ideas?

IIRC setting it to auto instead worked for me. You could try , as root : supermount -i disable and reverse that with supermount -i enable, if it doesn't work either.

[newbie] USB Camera problems - Almost solved
Just want to let you know that Mandrake just added a lot of updated packages for 10.1 Official. After installing those my Olympus C740UZ (with a xD card) works just like it did in 10.0 : perfectly. When plugging in the camera, an icon pops up (in KDE) with a label showing the correct model. Works just like any other mass storage device. Funny thing is, gtkam pops up as well but doesn't recognize the camera, - neither does digikam. Never mind. Downside is, even after unmounting the camera, my USB scanner isn't recognized any more. Only a full reboot gets it back. But at least the CPU doesn't go bezerk anymore.. Life is good.

[newbie] USB camera with MDK
HI all, I need to record a video. One normally does this with a Video camcorder, then capture the video from the tape to the computer using a software program. I want to avoid the investment that goes into this. I would like to know if I can use a USB web camera to capture the video and simultaneously convert to a computer file. Does Mandrake Linux support this? DO I need a TV Tuner card for this? I am a total newbie to all things related to Multimedia and USB. So please bear with my ignorance. With thanks warm regards Keshav +-+ KEANE INDIA LIMITED E9 - E12, SDF NEPZ, NOIDA 201 305 U.P, INDIA e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: +91-120-2568210(371) Men are from MACs, Women are from VMS +-+ Police: Good evening, are you the host?

If I remember correctly, you have to add the usb group to your users.
