[gentoo-user] Getting Photos From A Digital Camera

[gentoo-user] Getting Photos From A Digital Camera

[Adrian]

Greetings.

This would be my first attempt at getting photos from a digital camera
with my Gentoo system.

I am using a Kodak EasyShare C533.

With USBViewr I can see that the system sees the camera.  That part of
things seems to be working.

However, I've not really a clue what software to use.

GPhoto2 does not list this camera as a supported model.

I see there is a program called camera but it is masked.

Any other suggestions?  As always, my thanks.

Adrian

Emerge gphoto2 and gtkam and have gtkam scan for a camera.  See if
anything comes up. or you can use the comand-line and:

*|gphoto2 /|--auto-detect

OOPS! I don't know where these extra characters came from, it should read:

gphoto2 --auto-detect

Hi,

I don't know how oooold your camera is ..... and I REALLY don't have
AAAANNNNYYYY clue why thi hick we neeeeeeeed for all and everything an
super truper hyper speciaaaaaal toooooooooooooooooool. ;)

Why not set up your camera to act as a USB disk?
I do it this way and use the very special tools like ``mount'', ``ls''
and ``cp'' ;o)))))))))))))

... well to view and retuche the pics "The Gimp", "Imagemagick",

I second this.  Just set something like:
=================================================
/dev/sda   /mnt/sda    auto,vfat,msdos noauto,user,noatime     0 0
/dev/sda1  /mnt/sda1   auto,vfat,msdos noauto,user,noatime     0 0
=================================================
depending on what your camera's flash memory is recognised as (look in your 
dmesg output when you plug it in) and then use ls, or your file manager to 
look at and manipulate its contents.  If you have hald it should be picked up 
automatically without you having to create the /mnt/sda directory or manually 
mount/umount the device.

Actually, this was the first thing I tried.  I can not convince the
camera to mount however.

All I get from dmesg is:

usb 4-2: USB disconnect, address 5
usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6


I tried your suggestions in my fstab and all I get is:

mount: special device /dev/sda does not exist
 or 
mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist

depending on which /dev/sda* I use in fstab.

I thought this would work, in theory.  Practise has proven me wrong.

HV is right, this looks like a kernel configuration issue.  When I connect my 
camera, dmesg comes up with:
=====================================

usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

I have usb-storage as a module, and have confirmed it is loaded with
lsmod.

scsi-disk support is build in to my kernel.

I can plug in a usb storage device and it works fine.  example:

------------------

scsi9 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 17
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
  Vendor: SEAGATE   Model: ST660211USB       Rev: 4.06
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
SCSI device sda: 11719008 512-byte hdwr sectors (6000 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 73 00 00 08
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
SCSI device sda: 11719008 512-byte hdwr sectors (6000 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 73 00 00 08
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
 sda: sda1
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi9, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
usb-storage: device scan complete

--------------------------

Maybe either 

a. this camera simply isn't linux compatible

b. I need some other module for it

Well, I have a Canon camera and mine will not work like that either.  I
use gtkam to get my pictures and it works fine.  May want to try that. 
I did run into permission problems at first.  May want to try it as root
if running it as user fails.

Hope that helps.

Same here. Recent Canons use the PTP protocol. You need to emerge libptp2 and use
ptpcam to see if it can find the camara. If that works, emerge gtkam or digiKam .

I wish I could get mine to see it as a drive.  Then I could put pictures
on it as well as take them off.  I have read where some even put files
on them too.

Some cameras, including Canons, cannot be mounted as a drive, but that
doesn't stop you copying pictures to them. gphoto2 allows for upload as
well as download. You don't necessarily need libptp2 either, despite
previous comments, my EOS 20D works in PTP mode without libptp2. It's not
listed in gphoto2 --list-cameras, but that doesn't matter for PTP.

By the look of this you may be able to mount a gphoto2 compatible camera
soon:

http://www.gphoto.org/proj/gphotofs/

FUSE seems to be making a file system of everything. I expect to be
mkdiring, ls'ing and rm'ing on my lawnmower soon.

the last time I tried that, it didn't work. It doesn't really bother me
as I rarely connect the camera directory to the computer. When I
do, Konqueror displays the contents anyway.

I had to copy a file over so that when you plug th e camera in it puts
it in the right group and such.  It has been a while and I'm not sure
you have to do that any more.  May want to try Roberts suggestion
first.  If that don't work, let me know and I'll dig around and see
which it was that I had to move.

Score!  Being in the plugdev group seems to have fixed it.
Tho I did have to restart my computer before it took effect.
Thanks you everyone for your assistance with this.  This list is one
more example of why I stopped looking for a linux distro when I found
Gentoo.

Actually, you just needed to restart the GUI part.  I forgot about it
but I had to logout of KDE and back in to get it to see the group
changes.  Sorry.  I'm getting old mentally at least.  Well, my body
ain't to good either.  :-(

Ah. . . . And why didn't I think of this.  I just tried gtkam as user,
nothing.  As root it works.  I've been using Linux for almost 6 years
and still need to be hit over the head now & then.

Springboarding from this, Can someone point me to a SIMPLE procedure for
making my card reader / flash drives auto mount -- I do it routinely
from the command line and it works nicely, but the automount would be
nice

Please note it used to be a very friendly list also. I'd like it to stay this
way...

That's the dumbest, sickest, most worthless comment I've seen on a

just really isn't on IMHO. We are not a haven for teen silliness, nor SHOUTING.

If the guy has a stuck keyboard, then I apologise (but still ask him to fix it).

Does the manual say anything about PTP or how it works with windows? 

Most cameras are either usb-storage devices, OR support PTP, and PTP is generally well supported by libgphoto2 (and hence gphoto2, gtkam etc).

Your camera is not listed as supported by libgphoto, but that doesn't mean it won't be supported soon. I would try asking the gphoto2 list

http://www.gphoto.org/mailinglists/

or looking at their cvs/svn repository (assuming they allow access to it).

OTOH If usb-storage was going to work, it should work pretty easily. 

googling about this camera doesn't reveal much in the way of linux info. There is a third option of course - that it it isn't standards compliant enough to work with linux at all, in which case a card reader is your best bet (unless it has built in memory that you can't put into a card reader, in which case you may be sool  :-(
