Here is the commmands I have to type in: modprobe usbcore modprobe usb-storage modprobe usb-uhci mount -t usbdevfs /dev/sda1 /proc/bus/usb I think it is the mount command that was wrong earlier. Perhaps this mount path is a little unic for the Suse 8.2 distribution. My camera only works with GTKam. My guess is that GTKam as default looks in the catalog /proc/bus/usb. It only works while i am logged in as root. Any tips on how to make it work logged in as a user is appreciated. Never surrender ( :

I have mounted by typing this command: mount -t usbdevfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera Then I start usbview I click the button "configure". In the field "Location of usbdevfs file", I type in the path /mnt/camera/devices and click OK. Now all information about my camera is there in USBView !!! But I can still not get it to work in GTKam or Digikam.

When starting usbview I get an errormessage saying: Cannot open the file /proc/bus/usb/devices Verify that you have USB compiled into your kernel, have the USB core modules loaded, and have the usbdevfs filesystem loaded. I have tried with typing this 2 commands: modprobe usb-storage modprobe usbcore I have also the directory /proc/bus/usb/ But this directory is empty, and I cannot create the directory "devices" here. I get an errormessage saying: Cannot create directory 'devices' I an logged in as root. Is something perhaps still missing in my installation?

Thank you for this interesting info. I am trying to use Digikam release 0.5.1 without success. Tomorrow I will have time and I will try to find both USBView and GTKam and install them and see if I can get it to work. I would love to use linux instead of windoze when working with the pictures. Because Gimp runs fast on my computer and I also like the quick access to all menus with just a click with the right mousebutton. Adobe photoshop is really slow on my windoze PC.

I am running SUSE 8.2. Pretty much a standardinstallation. However, I have reinstalled Gphoto while trying to get it to work.

Cannot get it to work. I use a standardinstallation of suse 8.2 and gphoto 2.1.1. when typing "gphoto2 --list-ports" It says: "usb: Universal Serial Bus" When typing gphoto2 --auto-detect" it only says: "Model Port" When typing: "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera" it says: "/dev/sda1 is not a valid block device" When typing gphoto2 --debug it says: 0.086991 main(2): gphoto2 2.1.1 0.130230 main(2): gphoto2 has been compiled with the following options: 0.179007 main(2): + gcc (C compiler used) 0.225629 main(2): + popt (for handling command-line parameters) 0.275955 main(2): + exif (for displaying EXIF information) 0.322953 main(2): + cdk (for accessing configuration options) 0.377488 main(2): + no aa (for displaying live previews) 0.430760 main(2): + jpeg (for displaying live previews in JPEG format) 0.489265 main(2): + readline (for easy navigation in the shell) 0.550593 main(2): libgphoto2 2.1.2dev5 0.608024 main(2): libgphoto2 has been compiled with the following options: 0.668818 main(2): + gcc (C compiler used) 0.723484 main(2): + EXIF (for special handling of EXIF files) 0.783883 main(2): + no ltdl (working around bugg libltdl, eh? :-) 0.842535 main(2): + /proc/meminfo (adapts cache size to memory available) 1.904464 main(2): libgphoto2_port 0.5.1 1.935578 main(2): libgphoto2_port has been compiled with the following options: 1.935627 main(2): + gcc (C compiler used) 1.935639 main(2): + USB (for USB cameras) 1.935651 main(2): + serial (for serial cameras) 1.935663 main(2): + resmgr (serial port access and locking) 1.935675 main(2): + no baudboy (serial port locking) 1.935687 main(2): + no ttylock (serial port locking) 1.935699 main(2): + no lockdev (serial port locking) 1.935710 main(2): + no ltdl (working around bugg libltdl, eh? :-) 1.936067 gp-camera(2): Freeing camera... 1.936098 gphoto2-port(2): Freeing port... 1.936137 libgphoto2/gphoto2-filesys.c(2): Clearing fscache LRU list... 1.936151 libgphoto2/gphoto2-filesys.c(2): fscache LRU list already empty 1.936163 gphoto2-filesystem(2): Internally deleting all folders from '/'...
