[arch-general] digital camera not showing as mass storage device
I can get my digital camera to work with libgphoto stuff like shotwell, but for months now it simply won't show up as a mass storage device. Am I missing a kernel module or something? I loaded usb-storage. I downloaded the Ubuntu 10.10 beta live CD, plugged the camera in, and it popped up fine as a hard disk /dev/sdX... In the logs I see a load-modules.sh error. Please advise.

I assume you are using gnome? In that case you should read gvfs optdepends. In particular you need gvfs-gphoto2 Christoffer

Thank you kindly. I could have sworn the camera used to show up as /dev/sdX onto /media/*. But it's been so long at this point I could just be mistaken.

Is there any configuration option in your camera that allows you to change how it identifies itself? I guess this is a good time to review the manual and check what it really is capable of doing :) -- Mauro Santos
