I have a USB Sony digital camera. How do I get it to view my pictures? I am using fluxbox and gnome mostly the latter if that matters.
Thanks |

I have a Sony USB P-51. I can get it to work using digikam (emerge digikam) in PTP mode or by enabling SCSI emulation and just plugging it in and mounting it as a SCSI drive (set to 'normal' mode in camera setup).
ie:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/camera
Hope this helps.

| I've heard of PTP mode a few times. What is it? How do I get in it? Sorry, I just don't understand it... |

I don't know about your specific model, but on mine you flip the wheel to 'Set Up', and it's a setting in there. USB Mode or something - the two choices are 'Normal' and 'PTP'. I think Normal is preferable in that PTP is slower, but I've had it working both ways.
Don't forget to compile in any relevant USB options in your kernel as well as SCSI emulation.

I've compiled every USB option and SCSI option I could possible need. This is what I always get
Chris chris # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/camera
mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
Which is BS. I'm going to try the otherway. Its getting really old having to spend 2 hours everytime I want to upload pictures. |

Check your kernel logs when you plug in the camera. Get any interesting messages?
Here's what I get (going through a 4-port USB hub):
| Code: | Aug 24 18:22:26 [kernel] usb 1-2.1: new full speed USB device using address 6
Aug 24 18:22:27 [scsi.agent] disk at /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:09.2/usb1/1-2/1-2.1/1-2.1:1.0/host3/3:0:0:0

I suggest you turn on verbose USB debugging messages. I'm using kernel 2.6.8-gentoo-r1.
The other option is to emerge gphoto2 and digikam and try the PTP method, which I seem to remember was a bit finicky.

Genkernel -menuconfig all if I am not mistaken? Just look under SCSI support or Mass storage support. It's there :) |

I tried the gphoto2 and lphoto2 route, never worked and I don't want to go back to it.

I'm using metalog, mine are in /var/log/everything/current.
So, plug in your camera, then cat /var/log/everything/current and post here. The 'everything' log is your best friend -- as are logs in general.
| Quote: | | (re: verbose USB messages) How do you turn this on? |
It's in the kernel configuration for USB. The genkernel command is | Code: | | # genkernel --config |
| Quote: | | I tried the gphoto2 and lphoto2 route, never worked and I don't want to go back to it. |
Don't be intimidated - digikam is a nice GUI frontend to gphoto2. You don't even have to touch the commandline.
Hope this helps.
