joaopa Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Hello, I bought a digital cam: Canon powershot A540 since I saw in gphoto site that this cam works with gphoto. Unfortunately, in Mandriva control center, the cam is not listed. Does anyone knwo how makes mandriva recognize the cam? Thank you for any answer Joaopa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhn Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Open "(KDE) Control Center" (kcontol), then click "Peripherals" and "Digital Camera" and add your camera. (By some strange reason I can't see any cameras listed there since I reinstalled Mdv 2007, is it any package I miss?) You can autodetect it via Digicam also if you use that.

joaopa Posted July 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 The cam is not listed in Kde control and digikam did not find any devices..... Another idea? Joaopa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 (edited) Get sure the camera is switched on as PTP device. Canon had been using in several camera models both PTP protocol and its own proprietary "Canon" one, which is troublesome with just about any software for Linux.

joaopa Posted July 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Thanks a lot Scarecrow. It works... It was the trick. So, one can close this topic. Again, thank you. I would never find that alone. Joaopa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
