And its working

If i plug usb cable in my usb canon A560 or mp3 player i don’t
get automount.
Also: manually mount sdb1 gives me :
mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist

dmesg

Hi.
I use SUSE 12.1

Are you sure.??

Kde or Gnome?

#3

:slight_smile: lol
suse 11.0

kde

#4

kde3 or kde4?

With 3 there should be no problem.
And you can right click the desktop and select devices/media to show on the desktop.

with kde. Plugged devices with cause a dolphin popup to click on, which should mount the media an open in dolphin.

tell us if you are 3 or 4

#5

some more info. I use kde4. When i plug usb disk it works.
If i plug mp3 player it will not. Also if i plug in camera
canon A560 i able to use it with digikam but can not see it
with dolphin. The main problem now is mp3 player. It works on
windus but don’t here. If i start computer with mp3
pluged in i got :

device descriptor read/64, error -71

#6

digikam is good and picks up most.

As for dolphin picking your mp3 up, may depend on the storage device it uses.

Have a look in /media folder in the tree to see if it is in there.

Also, have you added the stable repo’s for kde4 to take you to ver. 4.1.3??

Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/STABLE:/Desktop
Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/STABLE:/Extra-Apps
Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.0_KDE4_STABLE_Desktop

you will need to do an update all unconditionally in each repo, from software management, filter by repo

#7

Ok.
Thanks for help.

#8

digikam may be fine if
a) you want to bother setting up a database and
b) you believe in software that doesn’t support NFS

It used to be all so simple. I used to have a choice of either downloading my photos using the file manager or using digikam.

Now (openSUSE 11.2 with KDE4.3), I only get offered digikam. I do get a choice, when I plug in a USB stick. Anyone an idea of how I can get the same functionality with my Canon camera? I tried “system settings”, but it appears I am too stupid to figure out for myself how that works.

#9

Look in system settings - advanced tab
Device actions

You may have to add a new entry and configure it
