I am uisng Suse9.1 with KDE 3.2

when I connect the camera and press dmesg I get these lines:

usb 2-2: USB disconnect, address 2
usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using address 3
usb 2-2: Product: KODAK EasyShare CX6200 Digital Camera
usb 2-2: Manufacturer: Eastman Kodak Company
usb 2-2: SerialNumber: CX62011751863

and when I open /media I find 2 folders with names usb-storage-0002F5CF6E364794:0:0:0p1 and usb-storage-1CD50D4173237667:0:0:0p1

but when I open any of them I find them empty !!!

I guess these lines I get after pressing dmesg mean that the laptop can see the camera but yet can't open the files in it

so any suggestions ??

sorry for bumping the topic again but i really wish to know wht's the problem

there are a few digital camera applications with SuSE...like digiktm or something like that...

try those...

In SUSE9.1, the interaction of submount/subfs and usb storage devices doesn't work very smooth. I would recommend to switch-off subfs for hotplugable devices and mount the camera the classical way.

Follow the directions in this article:

You may then create an fstab entry for your camera. The only problem with this method appears if you have several usb-storage devices that you plug-in in different order. I will happen that the devicenames change depending on the order of detection.

But try mikedeatworlds suggestion first. Digikam works quite well on my system.
