View 1 RepliesThe card in question is a PC Card (PCMCIA) 16Bit Intel Series 2 Flash Memory Card (2MB) and I want to be able to read from and write to the card. I've rebuilt latest stable kernel (2.6.37.2) with all the PCMCIA options turned on or built as modules. I've got an SRAM card, a CompactFlash Card (in a CF to PC-Card adapter) and the Linear Flash card to try, the SRAM card I'm not expecting greatness from, but hoping to prove that the slot works (it registers, but doesn't get much reported from lspcmcia). The CF card in the adapter works. I'm expecting to see a block device in /dev but nothing appears lspci:

Ubuntu 10.04. In order to get my photo application (digikam 1.2) to download photos off my digital camera/SD card I have had to configure Ubuntu not to 'mount' the usb connected camera when it is plugged into the pc. I can use digikam to download pictures off the camera/SD card into the pc. I'm having a problem when it comes to deleting the original pictures off the sd card/camera. Googling this problem it seems the issue is around Ubuntu only having read access to the SD card. It appears in windows world when an sd card is presented one has read/write access so things tend to 'work out of the box'.
In Linux/Ubuntu world I'm reading that digital cameras/SD cards do not (always?) work out of the box because you only have read access. If I close down digikam and launch nautilus I can see the camera/SD card but cannot write to it - I'm told I only have read access. I have also convinced my father-in-law to switch to Ubuntu but at the moment although he can download photos and view them I see no way of (ideally through digikam) of deleting the pictures off his camera/SD card.
I've looked all over the internet for an answer to this problem. Maybe I am the only one experiencing it. I am running ubuntu 10.10 and have problems getting pictures from my camera using any photo program (f-spot, picasa, etc). When I plug in the camera, it shows up in "Places" and under "Computer", it even brings up f-spot or whatever I have set to open under media handling in the nautilus preferences, however, when f-spot or picasa open, the camera is listed, but there are no pictures detected. I have removed and re-installed f-spot and picasa with the same results. I believe I even removed the config files for them before re-installing them.
I can open the camera in nautilus and drag them to a folder from the card. If I remove the card from the camera and use a card reader I can import the photos using fspot, picasa or any other photo program. I just cant figure out why f-spot or picasa cant get them from the camera as they have in past verisons. This is not limited to one camera, it happens with a canon and a Nikon. I hope thats not too much info and is not too confusing. The camera(s) show up in lsusb.
picasa & digiKam can connect & grab pix/vids+ i can see my files in dolphine with the path
camera:/USB PTP Class Camera@usb:/how do i get to these files from the command line ?i'd like to process new videos with a scriptbut for now i'm having to use the GUI to copy locally... then run my scriptmy setup (though probably irrelevant): kubuntu lucid + a new shiny iphone4 (preloaded with 4.0.2, so not JB'd, yet ... otherwise i'd just SCP the files over)
I'm having some problems getting photos off of my camera that I am thinking I can work with if I can access the photos on the camera as superuser. However I don't understand how Ubuntu (gnome) mounts cameras now, they don't show up as a mounted drive and I can't access (or find it at all) with 'sudo nautilus.'
[edit] Oh, also, the camera shows up if using nautilus not as a superuser.
I plugged in my camera and i get this error :
I tried a different fix i found in another forum but got stuck on step 5.Does anyone know what i might be doing wrong? iam using ubuntu 10.10 also.
It's never happened to me before, but i seem to have lost some pics when i changed batteries in my camera. is there any pos that they're still on the card and can be salvaged with some GNU/L sw?

I can gksu nautilus to find the permissions of the disk are set to "-1 - user #-1"
what is this about and how do i fix it so that i can read/copy/do anything with the disk without root permission?
the owner permissions are set by the camera, i'm assuming, because the actual disk creation has nothing to do with ubuntu at all.
I'm running ubuntu 9.10, and created a softraid5 with no problems. Now i need it to automount with user read/write access, and i need to make some network share folders. My fstab has the following line for the raid:
Code:
/dev/md0 /media/raid auto rw,user,auto,exec 0 0
After i mounted it, i changed the permission with:
Code:
sudo chmod 777 /media/raid/
So now i can create folders and files on it.
Then i created some shares, one with guest access and other with no guest access.
Now the questions:
1) If i access the guest shared folder via WinXP, i create files and folders, but they appear locked on ubuntu, so i cant access them until i change the permissions. If i go to proprieties/Permissions, the owner is "nobody".
2) What password do i need to use on WinXP, and i try to access the non-guest shared folded? Do i need to create a user just for that?
I'm trying to get some photos off a Canon Powershot SX110IS that uses an SD card (right now there is a Gigaware 4GB one in it) but this computer does not have an SD card input, so I am trying to mount the device through USB. This has worked with a handful of other cameras I've used in the past.
When I connect the camera to the computer and power it on, I get
usb 1-5: USB disconnect, address 7
usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
usb 1-5: New USB device found, idVendor=04a9, idProduct=3192
usb 1-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 1-5: Product: Canon Digital Camera
usb 1-5: Manufacturer: Canon Inc.
usb 1-5: SerialNumber: DA9C3D5C2D7F4E3EA806AA70BCDF3E28
So the kernel is at least aware of it. I tried letting thunar mount it, but it complains
thunar-volman: No property info.capabilities on device with
id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_4a9_3192_DA9C3D5C2D7F4E3EA806AA70BCDF3E28.
I also tried letting dolphin automount it (yuck), but didn't get any messages about it. I checked the fdisk output and there was no ~4GB device, so I'm not sure that I can mount it manually.
Loaded modules:
asus_atk0110

In short: the files in 11.2 of the memory card from my camera were lower case, and in 11.4 they are upper case. Thus, F-spot uploads all the photos again, and I get two copies of each, one low case (old), another upper case (new), without the comments or rotations that I had made. How can I make the system automount it again in lower case? I knew the proper options to do this manually in fstab, but not via udev or whatever it uses.

I have a tv tuner card connected to a cctv camera for streaming, all works good in tvtime, cheese used to work but then I changed the resolution to a lower one and now it segfaults, purged reinstalled same issue, also I tried with mplayer, mencoder, mythtv (coludn't find any signal on the input) and camorama.
Code:
mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:input=1:channel=1:width=768:height=768:device=/dev/video0
And it displays lines through everything but I can see the messed up image, I believe this is due to the current input format being YVU420, I was able in another program to verify this by changing the input codec to yvuv i think it was, how do I change the in mplayer, mencoder, camorama has this bug too, how to change this setting ut codec in mplayer and mencoder, also canorama has this issue, but I can actually see everything, b/w and with lines through it. I am just trying to record video to AVI.
I have tried putting the SDHC card in before switching on laptop, after, unmounting and remounting several times... on the odd occasion (1/10?) it reads fine, but more often than not, i can see thumbnails of all the images but on opening the file it comes out wrong...either most of the image is a grey block - so can see a tiny bit of sky then its as if it hasn't rendered the whole image...or, the image is striped horizontally, with as if a film negative has been shredded and then misaligned with the colours going wrong...is there an update, something to install to fix this? ETA: - its not the card which works perfect on other laptops and its not the card reader it opens fine in windows 7 on the same computer.

I've got few virtual machines which were all created in Windows VMware and they're all stored on a separate partition. I can access this partition and all other NTFS partition from Suse but with read-only permissions. That means I can't run any of these virtual machines from Suse VMware. Is there any possible way to make all these drives writeable from Suse? I'm really hoping someone would be able to help me. I've got a lot of googling and have even searched this forum but without any luck.

When plugged in I get a Nikon Camera icon that the system thinks is a usbfs. However the camera is too old for that interface. If I unmount the device then it shows under usb-devices as having Driver=(none). How can I get it to be recognised as a non-usbfs device ?

I've tried everything I can find to make it usable again in Windows but I ran out of options. I quickly found about the Gnome Partition Editor, but when I try to start it, it gets an icon in the taskbar that says "Starting GParted" and then it closes. Is some other way I can format my flash drive or do I need to find out why gparted isn't running?

I've tested the read speed which was about 33 meg a sec. But the write speed is only about 7 meg a sec. When running ubuntu it is very slow, not tolerable at all. I've read on some sites that there is a way to fix this but I'm not finding any good tutorials on making the write speed quicker.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have problem with umounting usb flash drives. When I insert usb flash and copy big files to it ( 400MB ) copy process is quick ( system use cache to store files ). After this when I umount this drive, after 1 minute I got error that this drive cannot be unmounted ( because cache is not stored in drive, umount time limit I think ). How to disable write cache to usb flash drives, change its size or change umount timeout.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've star rated hundreds of tracks. All I want to do is write the 4* & 5* tracks to an SD card for use elsewhere. Banshee can use Brasero to write them to CD so at a push I could write a CD then copy it back to an SD card but that seems the long way round.
I'm using Banshee 1.8.1 on Lucid.
I've got a 2GB SD card, I'm trying to transfer some videos on to it, but Ubuntu keeps on prompting me to open Shotwell Photo Manager.It won't let me create folders or transfer my videos to the SD card.

I have pasted the smb.conf file below:
I used to be able to write to my SD memory card but just recently it is being automatically mounted as read-only. I checked the read-only tab and tried to set it to the lock position, and to the unlock position. Neither position makes a difference. It was working normally a few days ago. I also tried changing the permission using su
ls -lt gives the following result
drwxr-xr-x 4 col root 16384 1970-01-01 01:00 CANON_DC
chmod chgrp and chown in su mode don't change anything either.
I tried mounting a different 1GB SD card and it works perfectly. I noticed that when I mount this card I get a window asking me what I want to do, but I don't get this on the other card. It must some kind of setting related to the unwriteable card.
I am using F10 2.6.27.41-170.2.117.fc10.i686
I am using OpenSuSE 11.0
KDE 3.5.9
Konqueror
I was able to copy 227 images to a brand new 2GB memory card and I am only using 8% of the card and now I can't write to it anymore?
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
df -h returns this : /dev/sdd1
1.9G 136M 1.8G 8% /media/disk-2
This isn't the first time this has happened either. Just the last couple times I didn't really care enough to pursue it. But now I am trying to load a card for my daughters digital photo frame and I can't because now all of a sudden I can no longer write to the drive? The exact error message I get is: "Could not write to /media/disk/image.jpg" and when I try to create a new folder, I get a disk full error message? How in the heck is this possible when I am only using 136MB of 2GB of capacity?
Code:
mount
/dev/sdd1 on /media/E0FD-1813 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush)

The micro sd card mounts & works as fat32 in windows xp just fine.
I plugged in a SDCard (SanDisk 4GB) with the write protect On in my Ubuntu system. Ideally this shouldn't have allowed me to write to this card. But it did. And that's when I found that it was getting mounted as a rw filesystem instead of ro. But the same card when I inserted it in another Ubuntu system with write protect On, this problem was not there. So nothing wrong with the Card.
