Re: Debian can't mount Camera Memory Stick

Hi Mike, McCarty,
Someone has told me before that we should install another package to
import images from Digital Camera. I remember that's the package
'gphoto2'. It will detect almost Digital Camera from different vendors.
But it's just command-line, then we should install gtkam for using :)
Let's try.

My GF has a situation in which she cannot mount a camera memory
stick. Here's the setup...

CPU<--->HUB<--->Dazzle[<--Stick

The HUB is from Radio Shack. The Dazzle is a device used to
interface the memory stick with USB. The memory stick is
a Sandisk 128 MB memory stick for a camera. Using her laptop
and XP, with the same Dazzle and memory stick, it mounts
just fine. With her desktop and Debian, it fails to mount.

Also connected to the hub are a WD USB hard disc, and an HP printer,
both of which work fine with Debian.

Currently, she mounts using XP on the laptop, then e-mails the photos
to herself over a dial-up, and then reads the mail back into Debian
using an ADSL connection. Needless to say, this is not the desirable
solution.

When we try to mount that memory card, mount responds that it is
unable to ascertain the file system type. It appears that fdisk
is unable to read anything from it at all. OTOH, lsusb shows the
Dazzle device. I have outputs from lsusb, fdisk, and dmesg, but they
are somewhat lengthy.

Any who are willing to help understand what to do to get this
card to mount, I'll ship them by e-mail, or if consensus agrees
to it, I'll post them here. They are a few kilobytes altogether.

Thanks all for your time.

Mike
