My Digitalcamera images?

[White]

I know that in Linux it is a folder where the images from a digitalcamera, that is connected to the computer, is, and I wonder what that folder is named at where it is? I have Knoppix 4.0.2 and my digitalcamera is named Kodak Easyshare CD43.The system finds the camera, Ive looked in Control Center and found it.
So, where are my images?

[sakiZ]

Cameras connect to a computer in a couple of different ways.

Either as a camera device using a special protocol or as a little USB drive. Some cameras have a switch to use either method.

I believe Kodak uses the USB drive method. A lot of cameras do.

Plug in your camera to a USB port. Turn it on. Open a console and type lsusb.

See if it shows up. You can make a mount point for it and access the camera as a drive.

OK, I ran lsusb and got:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

now what? How do I get my digital pictures off my Kodak Easy Share Camera on my knoppix-installered PC?

TIA,

Hmm. The camera name should show up as part of the device.

1: type modprobe usb-storage to make sure the mass storage module is loaded
Note any messages.

2.. Ok, type "dmesg"

and see if there are messages that say something like usb-storage device found and what the device is ie: /dev/sda1 or something similar

3. go to the directory /mnt and create this: /mnt/Camera

If dmesg for your device showed up as sda1 then

su to root and "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/Camera (make sure the camera is on and connected)

substitute the device description as needed.

See if all that works.

Thanx for your help!

OK, I did as you suggested and got:

dmesg | grep usb
usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new driver hub
usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2

and

dmesg | grep USB

and

dmesg | grep hub
usbcore: registered new driver hub
hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found
hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected

I don't see any mount points.... Now what?

BTW, usbview sees the camera!

[sakiZ]

The mount point is what you CREATE. If you haven't created it, it's not there.

The mount point I gave you is /mnt/Camera

I guess I wasn't clear about that.

You could name it anything you like acutally.

Just use your file browser to go to the /mnt directory and create a folder called Camera so that you have

/mnt/Camera

I'm assuming your device is sda1 so go ahead and use that.

What I meant by mount point was the correct dev. You say you assume its /dev/sda1, how can you assume that? I thought you wanted the dmesg info to figure that out. Anyway, I tried /dev/sda1 and got an invalid block device error.

Thanx for your help,

Try opening a console *before* you plug the camera in, then run
<code>
less +F /var/log/messages
</code>
Now plug in the camera, already switched on.

(You might need to be root; syslogd needs to be running for this to work)

Hopefully you'll see some activity in the console window:
Mar 14 09:46:00 tunix kernel: scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Mar 14 09:46:00 tunix kernel: usb-storage: device found at 3
Mar 14 09:46:00 tunix kernel: usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
Mar 14 09:46:00 tunix kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage
Mar 14 09:46:00 tunix kernel: USB Mass Storage support registered.
Mar 14 09:46:05 tunix kernel: Vendor: USB Model: Flash Disk Rev: 2040
...
Mar 14 09:46:05 tunix kernel: sda: sda1
Mar 14 09:46:05 tunix kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda
Mar 14 09:46:05 tunix kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
Mar 14 09:46:05 tunix kernel: usb-storage: device scan complete

In this case the device to mount is "/dev/sda1" (like suggested by sakiZ); since
sda1 didn't work for you, hopefully something else shows up.

[A. Jorge Garcia]

OK, I entered

less +F /var/log/mesages

and then turned on the camera. Does it take a long time to recognize the /dev? All I get is

Mar 14 17:39:33 Collosus kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2

What gives?

[sakiZ]

You say that dmesg | grep sd returns no info?

Hmmm.

With you camera plugged in an turned on open a console and type:

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

If scsi support is enabled your camera should show up.

This is how mine looks:

Host: scsi3 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: Fujifilm Model: FinePix 1400Zoom Rev: 1000
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Check it out. Let us know.
