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