I'm having trouble getting Fedora to automatically recognize and make
mountable (create proper devices and add to /etc/fstab) my [usb
mass-storage compatible] digital camera. I am assuming the best way to
get this to work properly would be to add it to the database that HAL
searches when identifying devices.
If this _is_ the case, I would like to have my camera added to the
file described below. Please advise on who/what list to contact or if
I should file a bug, or what other action(s) I should take to include
data for this particular camera in the gphoto2 package.
The file I'm proposing a change to is
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/10-camera-libgphoto2.fdi ,
(again, it belongs to the gphoto2 rpm). I'm using gphoto2-2.1.5-9.
Here are the relevant lines that need to be added for the Leica
Digilux 1 camera:
<match key="usb.vendor_id" int="0x04da">
<match key="usb.product_id" int="0x2373">
<merge key="info.category" type="string">camera</merge>
<append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">camera</append>
<merge key="camera.access_method" type="string">libgphoto2</merge>
</match>
</match>
A more detailed explanation of the specific problem I'm encountering
is here: http://www.ratemyimplants.com/home?browse&mode=top_25 . The
manifestation of the problem is that /dev/sda1 is not mountable.
Again, if this is the wrong forum, I apologize... please let me know
where this topic would be more welcome.
