digital camera issue


I'm getting an error message in KDE when i plug in my camera and say open in a new window.

Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'camera'.

I installed libphoto2 and gphoto2. This did not work. Am i missing something? The camera is a Cannon PowerShot Pro 1.

must be a permissions problem. I used gphoto2 as root to download the files off my camera but as a user it will not even detect it. This is a good sign that it works now i have to figure out this other problem.

I had the issue too, solved it by installing digiKam (there's a SlackBuild script available at SlackBuiilds.org).

Pre-built Slackware 12.0 packages for digiKam are here: http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/digikam/
Also get the dependencies (available at the above URL as well): exiv2, jasper, libgphoto2, libkdcraw, libkexiv2, libkipi and sqlite

i downloaded the 0.9.2 version off slackbuilds and it did not detect the camera. Im gonna try yours which is version 0.9.3 and see if this helps. I don't really think it would because it relies on libgphoto2 for drivers and the like. Kind of bummed its not working in korqueror i don't really like using a probgram to load my photos. I would rather just use my file manager. But not everything works out the way you want.

Thanks for the suggestion and link...

digikam only loads the camera as root. Any ideas on how I can mount this as a user. Im gonna scan through the udev rules and see what i can find.

maybe if I read the contents in 90-libgphoto2.rules I would notice that my camera wasn't listed. Edited file and works like a charm. Still sad about not being able to view this in my file manager. I'll stop talking and possible drinking. Maybe just the first part....night

i have the same problem. but my camera IS listed in /etc/udev/rules.d/90-libgphoto2.rules

Code:
# Canon PowerShot A95 (PTP mode)
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="30bb", MODE="660", GROUP="plugdev"
and i still get the same error in digikam, whenever i try to load my camera as a regular user. i checked if maybe i'm not in the plugdev group, but i am. so i'm out of ideas and i get the shivers when i have to use digikam as root :-/ any ideas?
