Hi,
I share my machine's serial port between my dial-up modem and my digital camera, using a mechanical switch. After upgrading to FC3 from RH 9 I no longer seem to be able to download photos from my camera. I thought at first that this was because of incompatibilities between gtkam (the RH 9 camera app) and gthumb (the FC 3 camera app), so I reinstalled gtkam. But no luck. I have reset ownership and permissions on the serial device (/dev/ttyS1) to allow me to twiddle with it (permissions are 666, and I own it), but I still can't access the camera.
Another interesting problem is that I cannot use stty to even read the serial port settings:
[jeff@thoth ~]$ stty -F /dev/ttyS1 -a stty: /dev/ttyS1: Input/output error
The modem works with no problems. Can anybody help with the camera angle? What's the best way to configure a serial device in FC 3?
Thanks in advance,
First of all make sure you have the udev update,as it fixes a lot of /dev problems. If this doesn't fix it, you may have to read a lot of udev documentation and force the /dev entries.
Also, check the archives. There was another poster asking serial port questions in the last week or so and he got a lot of responses.
Regards, Ed.
