Since you didn't say which model of camera you have, I can only guess. |
| 21 |
I have a Canon SD550 and it cannot be mounted as a mass storage |
| 22 |
device. It uses the PTP2 protocol. For a camera like mine my advice |
| 23 |
would be: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
In /etc/make.conf be sure you've defined CAMERAS with the drivers |
| 26 |
needed for your camera. My Canon SD550 uses the ptp2 driver, so my |
| 27 |
make.conf has: |
| 28 |
CAMERAS="ptp2" |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
(to see a list of possible values, run "emerge -vp libgphoto2" and |
| 31 |
look at theoutput) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
If you didn't have it set, re-emerge libgphoto2 after changing it: |
| 34 |
emerge --oneshot libgphoto2 |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
If that wasn't it, try to run digikam as root. If it works as root, |
| 37 |
it's probably a UDEV permissions issue. Find your camera/driver in |
| 38 |
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-libgphoto2.rules and edit the permissions so that |
| 39 |
your user can access it. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
If THAT doesn't work, try to use gphoto2 in a shell and see what it |
| 42 |
detects (or if it detects anything). This will give you better |
| 43 |
visibility about any error messages it may have. It will show detected |
| 44 |
cameras by doing this: |
| 45 |
gphoto2 --auto-detect |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
If it sees your camera, try the other commands for listing and |
| 48 |
downloading images from it. |
