Small USB/camera problem.

[spydie]

/etc/fstab (running knoppix from the CD, camera works)

proc       /proc       proc   defaults            0 0  
pts        /dev/pts    devpts mode=0622           0 0  
/dev/fd0   /mnt/auto/floppy auto   user,noauto,exec,umask=000    0 0  
/dev/cdrom /mnt/auto/cdrom  auto   user,noauto,exec,ro 0 0  
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/auto/cdrom1  auto   users,noauto,exec,ro 0 0

/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 auto noauto,users,exec 0 0  
# Added by KNOPPIX  
/dev/hdb2 /mnt/hdb2 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0

and this one is when running knoppix/debian from the HD and the camera does not work.

# Added to see USB devices
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0

The only line I have added is at the bottom,
# Added to see USB devices
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0

Thanks for taking a look.

My camera will not work even from CD. It is a Canon Powershot S200. auto detects as a Canon IXUS v2 but gtkam gives errors:'could not list folders in '/' followed by 'Could not initialize camera'. It acts the same running from CD and from HD and gives the same results if manually installed as the correct Powershot S200 model.
my fstab is essentially the same (added the 'none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0' line)

I also have Mandrake installed, camera works under Mandrake.

[champagnemojo]

I have to use sudo gtkam to run it on my Kodak DX6330...but it works perfectly on my hd-install. Have either of you tried putting sudo in front when running gtkam? It's worth a shot.

[CrashedAgain]

Ah, the permissions issue yet again! Unfortunately, it didn't work. gtkam reacted the same as sudo.
HOWEVER
I did get the camera working. The problem was with gtkam, I don't know what but I installed flphoto which is what I was using in Mandrake & it worked right off. (gtkam wouldn't work in Mandrake either). Flphoto is much a nicer application than gtkam anyway. It's only available as an rpm but 'alien' made a .deb pkg.
Thanks for all the help

well, here is my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass
/dev/hdd1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
pts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
/dev/dvd /dvd iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdaudio /cdaudio iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hdd2 none swap defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0

and i ran gtkam like this:

kdesu gtkam

yes, only as root i can acces my camera.
