Re: [opensuse] USB storage - kde3 and camera

I have a Olympus SP-550UZ digital camera which is to be
a remote file
system similar to a USB hard drive filesystem.

It works only if I have it hooked up at boot time on
SuSE 10.3 GM.
"lsusb", "hwinfo --usb" and KDE3 pops up a selection
menu. if done at
boot time even "I hate to say it" -> My Computer will
not show the files
until I "mount" it "mount /dev/sdd1 /media/camera" At
that point all
of the fils.jpg show up. Also "modprobe vfat" seems to
be automatic

However, if I connect the camera after a full bootup
"lsusb" sees it.
KDE3 sees it. But "mount" complains that there is no
device /dev/sdd1

So the USB system sees it. lsmod sees vfat but "lshal"
fails to see it


Hello:

I had a similar problem before on openSUSE 10.2.
I could not mount an Olympus C480 in KDE.
I can't remember the error message it gave.
But dmesg reported that the USB system detected the camera.
I circumvented the problem by mounting the drive manually as
root. I think it was a KDE bug.

So try to mount the camera manually as root, eg:
# mount /dev/sdax /mnt

You can get the correct value of the device (sdax) plugging in
the camera and then running dmesg. The last lines report if the
USB system detected the camera correctly and which device it
was attached to.
