Re: digital camera question
Apparently, _Mike Chandler_, on 04/15/04 10:09,typed:
Now, using Debian testing, with kernel 2.4.25-1-386, have installed gphoto,
(and the front end gtkam).
So I run gtkam and it will detect my camera, however there is an error:
Could not initialize camera.
If I try and use kde control center >peripherals >digital camera:
Unable to initialize camera. Check your port settings and camera connectivity
and try again.
My USB printer/scanner and USB mouse work fine.
I have searched, and searched, and the best I can come up with is USB
permissions, or needing SCSI emulation.
I know this can work, because it works in Mandrake.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks.
I am running testing too (2.4.24-1-868), but I have gphoto2, not gphoto,
and I can grab pictures from a Canon A300 quite easily:
$> dpkg -l gphoto2 gtkam
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:

||/ Name Version Description
+++-=========-=========-======================================================
ii gphoto2 2.1.4-2 The gphoto2 digital camera command-line client
ii gtk 0.1.2-2 GTK+ application for digital still cameras
So I guess you should try installing gphoto2 and try again. Should work.
