Salix Forums

I tried to connect my Fuji Finepix digital camera per USB to my Salix 13.37 but no device is recognized. If I connect my USB sticks Thunar is always showing the new device but in this case there is no message.

.hal-mtab is empty

I think usbdev3.8 is the one I have attached. How to mount it?

Could it be one of those cameras that require extra software to connect? Try with gthumb, gtkam, or even gphotofs.

I have fuji finepix(don't remember the model) and it has PTP and USB mode, is your camera set to USB mode?

Or try digikam

PS: gthumb does not work for my cam.

Well, Salix or the drivers are not the cause for the issue. I tried to adapt my daughter's photo camera and the usb interface was accepted at once. Also gthumb had no problems to view her photos.

Whereas gtkam, forced to use a ptp usb cam for my finepix, showed the pictures but gave during the save action of a picture the error message: ptp i/o error. And because the camera is not loading the battery anymore so I suppose the cable is defect or the camera's usb interface. I will try to get a new cable.

Thanks for your comments!

gphoto2 solved the issue:
