USBView Error

[spydie]

I'm using a usb keyboard and it works fine. I can connect my HP 932c printer up via usb and it works fine.
When I connect my Kodak DX6340 camera up it does not work.

So I have been trying to see what is wrong.
I'm running Knoppix from the HD

When I try and view my USB I get this error message.


-------------------------------------------------------
USBView Error

Can not open the file /proc/bus/usb/devices

Verify that you have USB compiled into your kernel, have the USB core modules loaded, and have the usbdevfs filesystem mounted.
---------------------------------------------------------

How do I verify that I have USB compiled into the kernel, have the USB core modules loaded?
Also how do I mount the usbdevfs?

I should maybe add that I can run knoppix from the cd on my other computer (1.8, 512Mhz ram) and the camera works great connected via USB.

It's not a big deal if I can not get the camera working on this computer as I do use the other computer for photo's as it is much faster and I will be doing a Knoppix HD install on it someday soon.

It's just bugs me as to why it's not working.....

Thanks,

Put in /etc/fstab
at end of line, press [Enter Key] and Save /etc/fstab

usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0

Now USBVIEW will Work!


Shows modules loaded...

lsmod

You would do this for your kernel config. In the /etc/fstab you should have:

none            /proc/bus/usb   usbfs   defaults                0       0

And for the camers I believe that you need the usb-storage module loaded it is seen as a scsi storage device by the system so you would be accessing it as sda,sdb .. whatever it shows up as when plugged in use dmesg and you should see it being recognized at the bottom of the output.

I'm having trouble connecting to my Kodak Easy Share Camera

I tried

usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0

as suggested above, but I get usbdevfs unknown command error....

How do I download my pix?

TIA,
AJG

OK, I added

none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0

to /etc/fstab and now usbview shows the Kodak Easy Share.

Where do I find the picture files?

TIA,
AJG
