I'll see what I can learn from the scripts provided and follow up later. john. Eureka! Got it! Between those links, and actually installing GTkam to see what files it played with, I've figured out the secret to Mandrakes hot-plugging :-) I'll write it up in full later as a step-by-step process once I have it down pat (yes Anne, and add it to the TWiki :-), but for now here's a high-level description of how stuff is linked in together from one script to the next to the next to the next... You plug in the usb camera/scanner/whatever, the kernel doesn't recognise it as something it has a kernel module for, so passes it on to Hotplug to figure out what to do. Hotplug gets the device details from the device, which includes the device id number and the device class, which is 'camera' for a camera, 'scanner' for a scanner, etc. Next hotplug looks up the device id in the file /etc/hotplg/usb.usermap to see if it's something it knows what to do with. In the case of cameras, libgphoto2 has added to the usermap all the cameras that it supports, and tells hotplug to run the script /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam. Scanners are added to the usermap by libsane and points to the script /etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner and so on. When these scripts are run, they do whatever initialisation is required, such as creating the usb device file (/dev/usb/whatever) and setting the required permissions on it, or downloading a required firmware to the device. Mandrake has added Mandrake specific parts to the camera initialisation file to perform the autorun stuff by calling the script /etc/dynamic/scripts/camera.script and passing it the device file to use. The scanner scripts libusbscanner and scanner.script are provided by libsane and as standard call the autorun stuff. These files do more distribution specific setup work before calling yet another script, depending on the device class and the currently running desktop, to launch the required program (no, not there yet!). These scripts are kept in folders aclled /dynamic/launchers/device_class, such as /dynamic/launchers/camera or /dynamic/launchers/scanner. In each of these folders are files kde.desktop and gnome.desktop which are .desktop files describing which program to autorun under that particular desktop. In the case of Mandrake, these are actually symbolic links to the /etc/alternatives directory, which is the standard location for defining default applications such as your default browser. For cameras, kde.desktop points to /etc/alternatives/camera.kde.dynamic, likewise for gnome. But it doesn't end there, camera.kde.dynamic is also a symbolic link back to /etc/launchers/camera/gtkam.desktop! Finally, we've reached the actual file that runs gtkam! So, in short for a digital camera: 1) Plug in camera 2) Look camera up in /etc/hotplg/usb.usermap 3) Run init script /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam to create /dev/usb entry and call 4 4) Run /etc/dynamic/scripts/camera.script with the /dev/usb entry and call 5 5) If under KDE, run /dynamic/launchers/camera/kde.desktop which points to 6 6) Run /etc/alternatives/camera.kde.dynamic which points to 7 7) Run /etc/launchers/camera/gtkam.desktop So the quick hack will be to edit /etc/launchers/camera/gtkam.desktop to actually call kaffeine instead of gtkam :-) Unfortunately, I've loaned my digital camera to my brother for his honeymoon, so I can't confirm it works, but if you care to try, as root edit the file so the contents appear as follows: [Desktop Entry] Name=digikam Comment=Digital Camera Program TryExec=/usr/bin/digikam Exec=/usr/bin/digikam Terminal=false Icon=digikam.png Type=Application Let me know if this works for now. The proper course will be to uninstall gtkam, create /etc/launchers/camera/digikam.desktop, and create the other required symbolic links. I'll experiment and detail that later.

John, after reading your post this morning for the KsCD fix I thought I'd do a little experimenting myself on the digikam vs flphoto or gtkam. What I've discovered is that if I copy the flphoto file in /etc/dynamic/launchers/camera to a file called digikam.desktop then edit it as shown below: Desktop Entry] Name=Digikam Comment=All what you need for the photos from your digital camera TryExec=/usr/bin/digikam Exec=/usr/bin/digikam Terminal=false Icon=digikam.png Type=Application Then edit the kde.desktop link in the same dir as such: [Desktop Entry] Name=Digikam Comment=All what you need for the photos from your digital camera TryExec=/usr/bin/digikam Exec=/usr/bin/digikam Terminal=false Icon=digikam.png Type=Application [Desktop Entry] And I don't know if I had to edit the kde.desktop link or not, but, now when I turn on my Sony CDMavica camera Digikam comes up instead of flphoto.

I never was able to get my USB camera to work correctly in mdk 10.1 (whereas there were absolutely no problems in earlier versions). My first workaround was relly weird : I booted Knoppix, connected the camera (mass storage), and uploaded the photos to my web-site. Then removed Knoppix, booted 10.1 and ftp'ed them down to my PC. Of course this is idiotic. Now I found out another way : disconnect ALL usb-devices such as scanners, mp3 players, printers etc.. Then grab the camera but don't take it into upload mode. Fire it up into shoot mode and then connect it to the usb port. If you're lucky, an icon will pop up as mass-storage or harddisk, ready to use.

I have selected it as a mass storage usb as it is not listed as a supported camera I have made a /mnt/camera but I dont think the fstab setting I found in the digikam handbooks is the right one as I dont have a sda1 on my system these are the instructions i had but althoug the camera says it is connected i cant see anything: Make a directory where you can mount the camera: mkdir /mnt/camera; chmod 666 /mnt/camera Try mounting the camera now: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera If no errors show up, then you have performed all the steps correctly. To verify everything is right, point you file manager to /mnt/camera and you should be able to see the folder/pictures on the camera Add an entry to /etc/fstab for the mount point: /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0 If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate them Martin, this resembles my problems. After installing 10.1 I had endless troubles getting my photos into the PC. My camera is an Olympus C740 UZ with a xD card. Initially, connecting the camera in exactly the same way as in all earlier Mandrake versions, the CPU ran amok, the desktop became cluttered with strange icons and so on and so forth Now, I finally can get to the photos thusly : I turn the camera on in auto-shoot mode, and when ready to take the first photo, I plug the USB cable into the camera. (If I use the cameras upload mode, everything goes crazy). This pops up the usual hard drive icon on the desktop so I can copy the photos over. Strange thing (at least to me) is the changing /etc/fstab : when the camera is disconnected, there is no entry in fstab, but after connecting fstab has an entry like this (all on one line, of course) : /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,exec,users 0 0 So maybe there is some ghost with root priviliges in my box ?

A reboot without the device plugged in might be appropiate. Get rid of the selfmade /etc/fstab entries too, you don't need them. -- Good lucck, HarM Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
