Digital Camera - Cannot Get to Work
Hi there, I have a camera and it will not connect.
I have read several other posts on this forum as well as others around. And have tried to get as much infomration as possible below. If anybody has any ideas or requires further information please post if you can. I would really appreciate it. Also, if you post instructions try to be verbose, this is entirely unfamiliar territory for me.
| Code: |
root@lxsrv1 minahd # ls /dev/sd* -la
ls: /dev/sd*: No such file or directory

my apologies.
this is a Kodak EasyShare DX4900
Usually I plug it into its base and through a USB port on the back of my machine, but I can't find my stupid base. hehe So I plugged it into the USB port on the front of my computer (DELL Dimension). Under Mandrake I could use my front usb port, but I can't seem to get it to work, right now.
My USB ports work on the back. My USB printer (HP Photosmart 7550) and my optical USB mouse work just fine.
I know people will suggest trying it on the back of my machine, but I really need it to work on the front.
EDIT: Mean to mention, I have not yet got my camera configured in Gentoo. I read somewhere else that I should be able to use the camera:/ KIOSLAVE, that would be neat, but i don't have that protocol |

I read somewhere that I should try to: touch /dev/sda
but it tells me that i don't have permission to do that. even as root. |

try a "blind" | Code: | | gphoto2 --get-all-files |
right after having plugged in the cam and switched it on...
cheers, raist.

No, I think it's the USB port. I've got a Compaq V75 monitor with a USB in front, but could not get that to work either. Never really tried though.

| plug your mouse into the front usb thing and see if it works - that would be a quick easy way to determine if the usb in front works.... |

about the USB ports on the front..
I am assuming the internally they are connected to the motherboard appropriately?
if may be that you need more USB support in the kernel. I have two machines that have two USB root hubs in them, for both machines one hub is USB1 and the other is USB2.0. For a tleast one machine i need to compile on OCHI and ECHI USB drivers for both of them to be detected.
you might try dmesg | grep -i usb
to see what it returns in terms of USB root hubs and drivers being loaded. |

|

Hello,
I am running 2.4.26 and am having a similar problem getting my Sony DSC-P72 to work
with gphoto2 over usb. One difference in our setup is that I have installed the USB
support directly in the kernel. I have also just installed hotplug and rc-update (d) it.
/proc/bus/usb seems to be ok.
dmesg reports after a ton of seemingly normal hub.c and usb.c messages and then:
usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=2 (error=-71)
gphoto2 is giving me the same results as yours. I'll keep digging and let you know if
I can get to the bottom of this.

I have the same issue here.
I have the Minolta dimage A2 and could not get it to work on my front usb ports...but it would work fine on the rear ports.
Whenever I plug it in the fron ports I get the normal kernel messages saying it has detected a usb device...and then the "not accepting new address" error. However the back ports work fine.
The front ports work fine with any other device I have tried.
The only difference being that the A2 is a USB 2.0 device...so maybe it is trying to connect too fast. I actually use the lexar jumpshot usb adapter to get the files off the CF card now, using the front ports.
Anyways...just wanted add my NZD 0.02

Weird, but interesting. I succeeded in getting a USB Flashdisk (Sandisk)
to work on the front side. Once I had all of the USB modules in the
kernel and hotplug running correctly, I saw /dev/sda, /dev/sda1 and was
off to the races. I have an ABIT AN7 motherboard with an external
connector to the front panel USB ports. 4 rear ports are attached directly
to the board. I'll give the back ports a try. Thanks for the info!
