Is there a setting on your camera to change the communication method from
PTP to usb?

You'd find that you can also access it in PTP mode from the import function
in programs like Gthumb or Digikam and the like.

I don't know, but the display shows "USB" when I have the USB cable
plugged into it.

And, as I said, usbview shows it.

I use gview and the gimp. I can look around for this.

But I'd like to simply find it under /mnt. Again -- if usbview sees it
and Konq can find it, why is it not showing up?

If you are referring to automounting, via the haldaemon,
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.o...0da547ee3c872?
may help, in particular, the part about getting my usb drive to mount.

All other USB devices automount -- and so does that xD card if it's in
my other camera (or a card reader). I think I will not screw around
with stuff the way that message suggests; i.e., f it's 99% working, I'm
not going to break everything else trying to fix 1%. Thanks, though.

Cameras act in one of two ways. They either communicate by acting as a mass
storage device or they communicate using PTP, picture transfer protocol.
Which they use determines how you can access it. Like I said, some cameras
have a setting somewhere to change the way they communicate.

And like I said, usbview does see it.

On my system, cdrom and floppy that used to be under /mnt
are now under /media. Did you look there?

I've never had a /media directory with Mandr*; and cdrom, floppy, and any
removable media are mounted under /mnt, as they always have been. I think
I've seen a /media directory on my disliked-and-thus-rarely-use SUSE boot
on another box.

While it's still puzzling, I have a workaround. KDE's digiKam sees the
camera and I can use that as an intermediary between it and The GIMP.

You would be far better off buying a cheap usb XD card reader. It is much
faster than downloading from the camera, does not require camera power.

mandriva got /media under 2007.1 and certainly in 2008

If you're talking to me, and not the person you responded to, I have one.
I've had one for years. Before I found the workaround with digiKam
that I mentioned, I'd been using it with this new camera. But I'd rather
plug in the camera than have to pull the card every time I want to move a
photo. That USB connector/cable that lies next to my box for camera
downloading (formerly for my other camera, now for both) is just too
convenient to circumvent by farting around with the card and card reader.

Well of course usbview sees it seeing as you plug it into a usb port. That
doesn't mean jack if your camera does not or can not be set to act as a
mass storage device. I plug all sorts of things into usb ports and usbview
sees them, but I'm buggered if I can get my mouse/scanner/printer/graphics
tablet etc to act as a mass storage device and show up under /mnt.

If your camera only supports PTP then that's what your going to have to live
with unless you want to use your card reader. And seeing as you've already
said you don't want to use your card reader you'll have to live with the
cameras behaviour.

As stated, I have no such directory. Mdk 2006.

(I know where to look for removables, and it's /mnt. )

Really? As I said from the beginning of the thread, some programs see the
camera despite my file manager not showing it under /mnt. So I guess I
really won't have to live with using a card reader, eh?

PS: The camera behaves normally enough (plug it in and it shows up on file
manager) on my Win laptop.

Ah. Now he tells us what version of Mandriva he uses. No, 2006 did not have
/media.
However, the usb rules probably do not have your new camera listed either,
so the system has no idea what to do with your usb dongle.

Yes, they are the programs that can use PTP.

Depends whether you want to see the camera under /mnt or not doesn't it? I
thought that was what you wanted.

And since when did windows behaviour bear any resemblance to linux

How does the digiKam program, which came with my copy of Mandriva two
years ago find the camera if it's not mounted?
