USB camera
I think my Olympus C-220Z is detected properly, I just don't know how to tranfser files. When I plug the camera, I get the correct info about my camera with cat /proc/bus/usb/devices , also with:
[zokik@localhost zokik]$ cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1 Host scsi1: usb-storage Vendor: OLYMPUS Product: C2Z,D520Z,C220Z Serial Number: 109204797 Protocol: Transparent SCSI Transport: Bulk GUID: 07b401020000000109204797 Attached: Yes [zokik@localhost zokik]$ gphoto2 --list-ports Devices found: 1 Path Description -------------------------------------------------------------- usb: Universal Serial Bus [zokik@localhost zokik]$ gphoto2 --auto-detect Model Port ---------------------------------------------------------- gtkam and gphoto2 don't detect it. C-220Z is not on the list of supported cameras by gphoto2, but it should work with linux somehow, I just don't know how exaxtly. IIRC the driver is usb mass storage. |
try
mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/camera most cameras just act as a USB mass storage device and communicate via a kind of SCSI protocol. That's why you will need SCSI support enabled in your kernel. The messages you wrote look like everything's okay and ready to start :) |
I get this:
mount: /dev/sda is not a valid block device I tried a couple of other devices (sda1, sdb, sdc, ...) and got similar messages. About scsi support... I think I have that already enabled, because when I couldn't burn cds I just added "hdd=ide-scsi" to /boot/grub/grub.conf and since then burning works. |
i fiddled around with my nikon coolpix775 and did manually edit fstab. Diddnt get it to work so i just checked google, read a post somewhere (not linuxquestions) about another camera also using the usb mass storage device, you were just suppose to connect it, linux would then edit fstab for you (creating /mnt/camera/ among other things):
just try mounting /mnt/camera without options, linux might already have set them for you (worked for me, rh 7.3) mount /mnt/camera/ then just copy the files, be careful though, first time i tried it (when I changed fstab myself) I managed to get the card corrupt so i had to reformat it, worked afterwards though! |
Strange, this doesn't work in rh8 (tried also as root).
mount: can't find /mnt/camera in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab |
You can install sg_utils and that will tell you what device your camera is hooked up to. Once sg_utils is installed, run sg_scan and sg_map and post the results here.
I don't have my camera hooked up or I'd post what it looks like |
I get exactly the same results no matter whether the camera is connected or not:
[root@localhost temp]# sg_scan /dev/sg0: scsi0 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em] type=5 [root@localhost temp]# sg_map /dev/sg0 /dev/scd0 |
Do a ..
Code:
cdrecord -scanbus Code:
ls -l /dev/sd* lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Sep 25 12:37 /dev/sda -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/ lun0/disc lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Sep 25 13:00 /dev/sdb -> scsi/host1/bus0/target0/ lun0/disc lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Sep 25 13:00 /dev/sdb1 -> scsi/host1/bus0/target0/ lun0/part1 where sdb1 was my camera. Is this a custom kernel or redhat's default?? I know the modules I need for my Sony USB camera to work are.. ide-scsi usbcore usb-uhci usb-storage Hope this helps a little |
With cdrecord -scanbus only my cd burner is listed, not also the camera.
I tried ls -l /dev/sd* anyway and got *huge* output (I redirected to a file, it's 269 kB): Code:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 avg 31 2002 /dev/sda Module Size Used by Tainted: P usb-storage 62000 0 ide-scsi 10512 0 usb-ohci 21320 0 (unused) usbcore 77024 1 [usb-storage hid usb-ohci] I have the default rh kernel. |
zokik - linux-usb.org has the C-220 Zoom listed:
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1196 also, the author says this kernel patch works for C-220 zoom (at least as of 2.4.20 ?): http://home.earthlink.net/~ebrombaugh/d150.html hope that helps you. :cool: |
YES, that worked!! Finally:D
I didn't bother recompiling the modules, because this camera is the only usb device I have. So I just changed both occurances of "USBS" to "USBU" in /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.o Too bad magicdev works only with gnome, not also kde which I prefer. Thanks to everybody for helping me! |
