Can't load camera as disk
 
|
Hi list,
I'm a happy camper with digikam. It works nicely together with my Nikon D700. No complaints...well, almost ;) Very rarely I need to directly access the flashdrive in my camera. Last time I did that was with openSUSE 11.1. Back then I could mount the camera as just an ordinary disk. However these days with openSUSE 11.2 and digikam 1.0.0 on KDE 4.3.5 this is no longer possible. When I plug the camera into my computer it is detected as "USB Imaging Interface" and all I can do is open it with digikam. That is just fine most of the time. However today I wish to do a firmware update of my camera and that requires me to write the new firmware into the root dir of the flashdrive. By searching various openSUSE forums I have learned others seem to have a similar problem. Unfortunately there has been no solution or I have't been able to find it. Is this a problem with hal or is it a feature of digikam taking over complete control of my camera ? Can anybody shed some light here and enlighten me what happens. Even more appreciated would be advice how I could copy the firmware into the root of my flashdrive (and later remove it without formatting it). And no, I don't own a cardreader (apart from the camera).

Thanks alot for answering,

I also run open SUSE 11.2 and > digikam 1.1.0 on KDE 4.3.5. that sounds promising :) > I set the USB mode of my D200 NOT to PTP, but to Mass storage mode M > instead; Where do you do that ? In the camera ? If so I have yet to find a way to do that on the D700. However I had no problem mounting it as a disk on 11.1. It simply appeared as sd<some_letter> under /dev and fine. Currently it doesn't :( > Choosing the file browser option, the camera is automatically mounted at > /media/NIKON D200 ; and I can access the root directory of the compact > flash card.

Unfortunately I don't even see the D700 under /dev. Having it mounted automatically would be fine but for the time being I'd be happy to be able to mount it manually. I have no idea where to start looking for a solution. FWIW here is the putput of a couple of commands right after plugging in the camera and then switching it on. If anybody more knowledgeable than me could look at it and tell me what I could or should investigate I'd be rather thankful. I also had had a look at this thread: http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/426706-problem-usb-mass-storage-device- not-mounting.html Unfortunately that didn't help me either. seneca:/dev # dmesg [snip] [87024.258162] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 12 [87024.373064] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=04b0, idProduct=0422 [87024.373072] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [87024.373078] usb 1-3: Product: NIKON DSC D700 [87024.373082] usb 1-3: Manufacturer: NIKON [87024.373086] usb 1-3: SerialNumber: 000002051531 [87024.373298] usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice seneca:/dev # lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 012: ID 04b0:0422 Nikon Corp.

Hi list,
a few days ago I asked for advice as to how I could directly access the CF card in my Nikon D700 which used to work with openSUSE 11.1 and no longer works with openSUSE 11.2. While my problem couldn't be solved the information provided by Robert Zeller ultimately helped me to search for the proper keywords to get the picture. For those interested and with similar problems, here is a summary. It seems the openSUSE USB handling has improved between 11.1 and 11.2 in that with 11.2 they have special treatment for PTP devices which openSUSE lacked in 11.1 (back then all such devives would open as disks). This is no problem with cameras like the Nikon D200 whose USB interface can be switsched between PTP and mass storage. However the Nikon D700 does not have such a switch. In a Nikon forum I found the claim that all professional Nikon cameras don't have such a switch. There two posters claimed that a Nikon serviceperson had written them this switch set wrongly had triggered too many service requests so Nikon decided it is not needed. Well... At this point in time there seems no option other than using a cardreader which worked nicely in my case (D700 firmware is now updated). For the future one may hope that openSUSE will present the option to treat a PTP device like a mass storage device upon user request. In an openSUSE forum I found a poster claiming he'd written a bugreport to that end. I didn't investigate that any further though. Hope this helps others with similar problem, best wishes, Michael -- Michael Gerdau email: [hidden email] GPG-keys available on request or at public keyserver _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |
