Can someone give me the proper command to retrieve images from a camera 
using gphoto2?

I used it casually once before to see that it worked and now that I have 
a few pictures I want it refuses to give me an image.

It will provide .ppm and .raw files apparently but the only ones that do 
anything are the .ppm and all I get is some colored lines?  I've gone 
through man pages and whatever else I can find but I am not sure I'm 
using the correct command to download the images from the camera.

Thanks.

What do you see when you issue the command:

gphoto2 -L

If you see the list of files on the camera, you can get a file:

gphoto2 --get-file 1   (to get file #1)
gphoto2 -P             (to get all files)

I am having some problem with the latest version of gphoto2 (both FC5 and
FC6), so I rolled back to an earlier version.

Thank you, those commands were what I needed but I'm afraid the camera is defective.  It is just an inexpensive camera that was given to me, most likely because it didn't work, although it did work when I first tried it a couple of months ago?  We have some others, I will try oner of them tomorrow.

It's not worth any further effort ...

Thank you.
