anyone any ideas? this is really pissing me off, 12 hours to setup a camera is NO GOOD.

What are you trying to do? setup a webcam? Or just get your pictures off of your PTP camera?

$ gphoto2 --get-all-files

PTP cameras do not AFAIK create /dev/ entries. Webcams might, but you generally need a device driver for such devices. gspca? ivtv?

im trying to get photos off my camera, it creates a "/media/camera" folder when i press the docking station button but freaks out if i am not root. its a PTP camera, not a web cam.

i am using gtkam, and konqueror

konqueror says this

Code:

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

and no sh.... gtkam works now as a non root user! i must of fixed something =)

i did just install gphoto2, but i had "libgphoto2" going on before this.

my groups were jacked up, i figured it would put your primary group as the upper case G as it is harder to press shift g than just g. and make the primary group more obscure to change, but my group messages at the top of this thread are backwards.
