Hi.

When I plug in my digital camera, it is found (see below); but I can't mount it, because I do not find the device name. Ubuntu does it automatically - but even then, the output is too cryptic for me. Googleing gives the command ('mount -t vfat'), but not the device name. Which is it under paldo?

Thanks for any help, erch

dmesg output:

Sometimes I find myself in a bizarre situation. Have a problem, try to solve it on my own, google, read, experiment, hours go by, sometimes days, until I decide "now is the time to ask it in a forum". The request is sent, and 10 minutes afterwards a solution comes up out of the nirwana.

I should have installed f-spot. With f-spot everything goes fine. Apologies.

One problem is left, it goes fine when I use it as root, now I still have to know the group that my normaluser needs - but after this experience I'm sure to find it out on my own. (Hm, perhaps someone could tell me anyway?)

try to add your user to the group "usb"

Hi erch f-spot solved my access-problem as well. Thanks for your hint
