Your first clue appears in the output of dmesg - you'll either get lots about a device not being claimed by any driver or you'll get a summary of the capabilities of the camera. dmesg is available as an ordinary user.
/dev/something_or_other that needs mounting?
USB mass storage is treated as SCSI by the Linux kernel and becomes a normal filesystem. It tends to be mounted at /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 unless you have other SCSI devices already in the system. You won't do any harm by asking mount to check /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 These need to be done as root but once you have the correct settings and you've added them to /etc/fstab, any user can mount and unmount the camera storage on demand. (/mnt/camera must exist beforehand, mkdir /mnt/camera ) # modprobe usb-storage # mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/camera # ls /mnt/camera # umount /mnt/camera The errors will appear at the first mount command.
I can usually figure these things out, but here I'm just stuck and feeling very silly. Give me some pointers before I run out of patience and fling the bloody thing in the sea.
