Hi LIst; I just bought a new Nikon D300 digital SLR - it uses a 4G compact flash card. I'm running Fedora 7 & KDE. When I plug it it I get the dialog asking me what to do, I select 'open in new window' and a new konqueror window opens pointed to 'system:/media/camera' but no files show up. Then I get a opo-up dialog that says : "Could not read file Could not claim the USB device" dmesg shows this: bridge-wlan0: enabling the bridge bridge-wlan0: up sky2 eth0: enabling interface ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready bridge-eth0: enabling the bridge bridge-eth0: up [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20060119 on minor 0 wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0 wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:14:6c:1a:97:32 wlan0: RX authentication from 00:14:6c:1a:97:32 (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0) wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP 00:14:6c:1a:97:32 wlan0: authentication frame received from 00:14:6c:1a:97:32, but not in authenticate state - ignored wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:14:6c:1a:97:32 (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=1) wlan0: associated wlan0: switched to short barker preamble (BSSID=00:14:6c:1a:97:32) ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready wlan0: no IPv6 routers present usb 5-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 usb 5-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice VMBlock warning: DentryOpRevalidate: invalid args from kernel VMBlock warning: DentryOpRevalidate: invalid args from kernel VMBlock warning: DentryOpRevalidate: invalid args from kernel VMBlock warning: DentryOpRevalidate: invalid args from kernel I'm not sure how to go about debugging this or even what device name I would use to try a manual mount command. Any thoughts? Also, would a compact flash reader be a better solution with Linux - my old camera used SD cards and in general SD readers worked fine with my Linux machines. Thanks in advance ...
