hi
i have to say gentoox kicks arse.
i cant believe i have an xbox that can run p2p programs.
very cool.
QUESTION : is there a reeely easy way to just grab files off a usb mass storage device ( camera ) ?
i have tried gphoto,gphoto2, and a few others with no luck
i tried gtkam but that takes a week to compile/merge.
i have managed to " see " my camera using usbveiw ( very cool, it " sees" the mem card in the xpad ), and i have found a file in
proc/bus/usb/001/
if i plug the camera in and refresh the page ( in proc/bus/usb/ 001)it will show a file that wasnt there before. but i cant open it.
i can copy it and move it to desktop
is there just a program i can emerge that will work " out of the box " or with little configuring?
am i making sense?
i can barely understand "winxp"
any help is good help, forgive me if im rude , try to understand my writing ( because you dont want to hear me talk )
thanx

how do i enter code ?
i tried to at the
root #modprobe sd_mod
i got a segmentaition fault. ( then i pluged the camera in )
then i tried it again
root #modprobe sd_mod
root #modprobe usb_storage
modprobe : cant locate module usb_storage
id figure id stop here as to avoid messing a file up and having to reload everything again.
the device im trying to plug in ( in windows xp ) shows up as
DCIM/100_FUJI
countless hrs of searching tells me this is recognized by gentoo as a usb mass storage device ( camera)
and the best program to use might be digikam
i have been able to put mp3 files to the camera and play them from the
camera ( using windows )
would a usb hub screw things up ?
i tried the same as above with and with out a hub.
thanx again

looks like usb-storage isn't compiled, you'll need that.
find the usb section and the usb-storage option and mark that with an M so it get's compiled as a module. quit the menu choose yes to save the config
Code: Select all
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
Code: Select all
make modules modules_install

Hello!!
No problems with the modules and I created the folder /mnt/camera.
But when I try to mount it with "mount /dev/sda /mnt/camera" I get an error message that /dev/sda does not exist in.
What did I forget??

it should be modprobe usb-storage instead
also althena77 try: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera instead
