Guest c_m_f Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Right then, i have my digi cam plugged in and i think the comps recognised theres a cam there and is using a generic driver and in kde info center under usb its says 'USB Dual Mode Camera', so i assume its got it, so how now i do retrieve pics form it, do i mount it, and if so what will it be in /dev (i already have a usb mouse) or do i access it some other way? Also is it possibl to webchat using kopete and msn protocol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Hi Usually those kind of devices uses flash card memory. If your flash memory isn't too weird then the kernel should have loaded the proper driver. What do you get when you type cat /proc/bus/usb/devices and cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1 If you DON'T get a Driver=(none) for the first command then the kernel loaded the proper drivers (usb-storage, sg, ide-scsi, ....). You should get something like that if it loaded the proper driver: ... I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=06 Prot=50 Driver=usb-storage ... Do a 'lsmod' to know what is loaded. That would be cool if you post the output here also. Now look in /dev for a sdaX where X is an integer. Or look at /dev/scsi/hostX/busX/targetX/lunX/part where X is again an integer. You should be able to mount the device (let's say) in /mnt/Flash as follow. mount -t vfat /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part /mnt/Flash or mount -t vfat /dev/sda0 /mnt/Flash You have to notice that the kernel uses those devices as scsi hard drive. So if you recompiled your kernel for a reason or another then scsi support has to be enabled as well as usb support. The filesystem on those card is vfat... lol. Check in 'kcontrol' also.. sometimes it gives hints about where scsi devices are plugged (host, bus, target, lun ....) Hope this help MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MottS Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0553 ProdID=0202 Rev= 0.00 S: Manufacturer=STMicroelectronics S: Product=USB Dual-mode Camera C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr= 70mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 0 Cls=ff(vend.)

As you can see the kernel recognise the device (USB Dual-mode Camera) and loads a driver (Driver=stv680). However, it's the first time I see that driver used for a Camera. In fact, I don't know if it loaded the right driver. You could search google a bit about that driver (stv680). But all the scsi modules are loaded .. BTW, how come you loaded so much modules ? Do you really need IPT_MASQUERADE and all the others ? .. do you share your net connection ? Did you check if /dev/sdaX and /dev/scsi/hostX/busX/targetX/lunX/part are there ? (Don't forget, X is an integer starting from 0) If you see one of those device, try to mount it with the command I gave you above. Do you have anything in /proc/scsi that could help ? Do you see a 001, 002 etc.. in /proc/bus/usb ? MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c_m_f Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 ok.....im sharing a net connection so thats why the ip masq'ing no /dev/sdax at all only thing in /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0 is cd and on a hover over it says its the cd writer in proc/bus/usb is 001 002 003 004 (all folders) and 2 files drivers devices and im going to search google now if its all loaded now then, how do i go about accessing the camera?

Guest c_m_f Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 found a prog on google called pencam from http://stv0680-usb.sourceforge.net/ but when it run it i get pencam_set_configuration error usb_control_msg error: 255, command = 0xff Camera ping failed!! Check connections and try again! Error initializing camera!! could this be anything to do with teh fact i have usb 2.0? and the prog is pre 2.0?

MottS Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Hey.. I looked at google too (I was intrigued). You have a web cam that can take pictures too.. I thought it was a regular camera with flash memory. Forget about scsi stuff... The kernel loaded the proper modules. There is a couple of programs you can use to download pictures from the cam actually. Acording to http://stv0680-usb.sourceforge.net/#NOTES you can use XAWTV, GQCAM and PENCAM. Don't know if those progs are on the MDK cds though. http://csce.unl.edu/~cluening/gqcam/ http://bytesex.org/xawtv/ http://stv0680-usb.sourceforge.net/ Good luck MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 oops .. lol .. I posted almost in the same time as you .. lol According to the website .. http://stv0680-usb.sourceforge.net/#NOTES , you have to 'rmmod stv680' before to use the prog. I didn't read a lot since I don't have any camera but you shoud read the note carefully. Check the other prog too! Good luck MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c_m_f Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 did 'rmmod stv680' then ran as root and its all systems go :D just got 3 pics off the cam, and its 10x faster then i recall from the windows days! OHHHH YEAHHHH lol EDIT: any idea how to run not as root? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relic2K Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 I just use GTKAM with my Kodak 4900 Easyshare and Docking station. Once I push the sync button on the docking station, I can see it show up in USB Viewer, then I run GTKAM and autodetect my camera, then transfer the Pics over to HD space. This is just another option thats all. Thanks again MottS :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Hey c_m_f, you should look at the following link for usb permission: http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/doc/manual/p...ssions-usb.html BTW, if you use Gphoto2 (another prog for stv680), you should be able to access the cam with 'camera:/' in konqueror .. lol .. That is COOL ! MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c_m_f Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 well just to thankyou to motts here are some of the outcome, very crappy quality, but what do you expect when bundled with a pc? espically at £1200 :) last one of my desk EDIT: ok they dont work :? well ill go find another image hoster, any ideas?

I had big fat ones when I was snowboarding at Whistler in British Colombia (One of the provinces in Canada). But since then I cut them all to get a 'clean' job here in Montreal cya!
