Hi,
This may be an old problem but I haven’t found any solution in the forums I’ve been looking around.
I have a recently upgraded OpenSuse 11.3 system (this problem also appeared to me in OpenSuse 11.2). I have a Sony DSC-W290 camera, and I would like to connect to this camera to get the photos. When I plug the camera to the USB the camera sets itself to “Memory Stick” but nothing happens on the Gnome Linux desktop. I assume that the system should automatically mount the filesystem as it does correctly with other devices (external USB disks and classical memory sticks).
This is the output of the last lines of ‘dmesg’
1948.494549] usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
1948.612489] usb 1-7: New USB device found, idVendor=054c, idProduct=033e

There is the output of ‘lsusb -v’ (I output here only the lines that correspond to the camera)

(more lines follow but I have not copied them)
When I try to access the camera via gphoto2 I get this error
gphoto2 --auto-detect
Model Port
USB PTP Class Camera usb:
USB PTP Class Camera usb:001,007
# gphoto2 --shell
gphoto2: {/} /> ls
*** Error ***
PTP I/O error
*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library (‘Unspecified error’): The supplied vendor or product id (0x0,0x0) is not valid.
*** Error (-1: ‘Unspecified error’) ***
I’ve looked at “/dev” and there seems no device (sdb, sdc, sde, …) where the camera it associated.
Any ideas of how the problem may be solved ?
Thanks a lot,
Best,
Luis
