Digital camera in Ubuntu.

DavidNW · 08-11-2006, 09:20 AM

Well, guys,

Where to begin? I have a Lumicron LDC-521Z3 digital camera which I'd like to get working in Ubuntu. Ubuntu just does not recognise the device.

I'm looking on the Net, but have not really come up with any good information so far. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

David.

i think you have to "mount" the cameras internal memory (as if it where a HDD) and then you can access the stored photo's, not sure but i think the free space on the camera can also be used to store general data (and use the camera as a virtual USB HDD)

but i could be wrong, am i guys ?

Edit: i dont know how to mount it, does it appear in gparted ?

Doing an "apt-cache search kde digital camera" in ubuntu 6.10 gives

Code:

digikam - digital photo management application for KDE
kamera - digital camera io_slave for Konqueror

which might be of use to you.

Yes, I'm guessing that it might have to be mounted. I have tried using 'G Thumb Image Viewer', which gives a list of camera types you can hook-up to, but of course, the camera I have is not listed - isn't it always the way.

Hmm, try this:

Plug in the camera and type the following into a terminal:

Code:

sudo rmmod ehci_hcd

A photo import window should pop up.

Read this somewhere on the internet

Thanks, Mega and all.

The abovementioned command just threw up an error. But never mind - I just booted over too Mandriva out of curiosity to see if it would work, and it did! So no problems.
