Hello all,
Have just bought a new digital camera and have a strange problem.
If I connect it as a usb mass storage device, then the konqueror pop-up shows asking if I want to mount it etc, as one would normally get with any usb device. This is fine as I can then browse the contents as expected. Unfortunately when in this mode, digikam is unable to retrieve any of the images stored on it, failing with the error
Code:
Failed to connect to the camera. Please make sure it is connected properly and turned on. Would you like to try again?
and the error from the terminal shows
Code:
digikam: Failed to initialize camera!
digikam: Libgphoto2 error: Bad parameters (-2)
So, if I connect it instead as a pictbridge device, again I get the pop-up asking if I want to mount etc, but now knoqueror gives this error:
Code:
Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'camera'.
.
and digikam gives the same error, except the terminal error now shows
Code:
Libgphoto2 error: Could not claim the USB device (-53)
.
FYI, all of the necessary packages to run digikam were downloaded from Alien Bobs site, and digikam works well when connecting the camera as a pictbridge device if run as root. The camera is identified within 90-libgphoto2.rules, and I am a member of plugdev, but there is obviously a permissions issue somewhere that I am missing.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
