Card reader doesn't work in Mandriva.
I have a usb card reader I use [in other distros at this point] to download digital photos. For some reason it doesn't work in Mandriva. If I just plug it in a dialog box opens:
A new medium has been detected. What do you want to do? Medium type:Unmounted removable medium Open in new window Download photos with DigiKam Do nothing If I select the 1st option Konqueror opens with location 'system:/media/sdc1' and an error box that says 'Permissions denied'. Why? I don't want permissions denied. How do I set permissions allowed so it will open and download my photos? How to correct? I did try chmod 777 /dev/sdc and /dev/sdc1 and that didn't help. If I select 2nd option DigiKam opens but no photos are opened to be downloaded. No error message either??? How do I download photos from usb card reader to DigiKam in Mandriva. In other distros I just plug it in and it just works. Is this also a permissions problem? How to Correct??? |
I am only answering because I just got a usb reader for one card...off a computer magazine.
1) if I disable haldaemon....no go....if enabled /var/log/syslog shows amongst other bits May 12 08:42:21 gs hald: mounted /dev/sdb1 on behalf of uid 500 where gs and 500 are normal user = non root user. 2) my /dev/ is 755 can be set in mcc/security/tune permissions hope that helps |
