Ubuntu :: Transferring Pics From A Canon Camera?
May 12, 2010
I have a Canon Powershot A470 digital camera and can't get to transfer the pictures from it on Ubuntu 10.04. When I had Ubuntu 9.04 I imported pictures from the same camera without any problems. I considered that the problem could be the camera itself or the USB cable, but I have just accessed my pictures from that camera using Windows Vista.
Basically, what I have tried is 1) connecting the USB cable to the camera and the computer; 2) set the command button to the playback position; 3) turn on the camera. Using Windows Vista, this series of procedures opens the camera folder (as a flash drive) on Windows Explorer and this is what used to happen when I was using Ubuntu 9.04. I expected this to happen using the Lucid Lynx, but I didn't get even close. I even opened the Home Folder to see if something new showed up there when I hooked up the camera and turned it on.
Since I'm new with Ubuntu (especially the Lucid Lynx), I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have read that sometimes we have to mount devices in order to get them to communicate with the computer. Is this one of those cases? If so, how do I do it? Does anyone else have the same model of digital camera? How do you guys transfer the pictures to your Ubuntu-based system?

I use F-spot and Shotwell to extract photos AND videos that I made with my Canon EOS 500 or my Lumix.Actually the pics are extracted correcly but the videos are just consider as a pic and the pic is the first pic of the video.Is there any F-spot equivalent that extract everything from the camera?

I have a Canon Powershot SD1400IS camera and I didn't realize that they don't support Linux. I run Debian and my old camera, a fuji FinepixA210 at least shows up as a removable volume. I double click and I can get to my pics and download them without any trouble. I picked up my new camera from airmiles and never thought to check if they supported Linux. Maybe a card reader would be the answer, but I'd rather not have that expense, if there is another way.

From time to time I do a bit of astrophotography and time lapse using a canon 350d. To do it properly I have to use a remote capture program on the laptop. This was never a problem on windows or the mac. Does anyone know of a way to control my camera on ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition?
I have installed gphoto2 and this allows a command line method but I dont like command lines for this kind of stuff, plus id like to see the image straight away. I have tried a couple of GUIs for gphoto but the only one which seems to have a capture option is digikam.... but the button is shaded out so I cant use it.

I am a Ubuntu newbie (installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS last week) with a camera problem. My Canon SD300 won't automount when I attach it by usb cable. It is visible to F-Spot and I can import pictures, it just doesn't automount. I saw other posts where no usb automounts were occurring. Not my problem. Memory sticks and external hard drives automount just fine. Only the camera is a problem child.

I'm currently running 10:04 and I'm looking for some sort of program to read my Canon DVD Camera to get the videos off the DVD's. Even in MS Windows I haven't been able to use it since I lost the included software.

I'm trying to get photos off my Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS but while Device Notifier pops up telling me I've attached a canon, and I can see it when I run lsusb, It's not actually being mounted anywhere, or creating a device for itself to be mounted with..I plug the camera in to the computer while it's still off, and I turn it off again before disconnecting (As I've heard this is the proper way to do this.) but I am still not getting a device. I've also tried the following advice (Although I'm obviously on openSUSE not Ubuntu).Ubuntu Forums - View Single Post - Unable to mount camera or import digital pictures.

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
ata_generic
ata_piix
atl1e

cdrom .....

I have a Canon S95 digital camera that used to work just fine. I plugged it in, the device notifier showed a couple of actions for it, I chose digiKam and downloaded the photos. Now I tried to get new photos out of the device, but it's not showing in the device notifier any more. DigiKam shows "Canon Inc. Canon Digital Camera (auto-detected)" but doesn't do anything when selecting it.
In dmesg I see:
[ 988.197025] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
[ 988.313730] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=04a9, idProduct=3212
[ 988.313734] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 988.313738] usb 1-3: Product: Canon Digital Camera
[ 988.313741] usb 1-3: Manufacturer: Canon Inc.
[ 988.313743] usb 1-3: SerialNumber: [number]
So it works but KDE doesn't seem to be able to notice it. I'm using openSuse 11.3 with KDE 4.6 RC1, and it might be that 4.6 betas/rc broke the functionality though I'm not sure.

Canon cameras used to come with a piece of software called remote capture for Windows and MacOS.
You plug in the camera via USB, and then the camera display is on your monitor. From there you can do everything your camera does, like taking pictures of video. Does anyone know if there is linux equivalent software that can do this?
I have found this software, but new cameras aren't supported.

I want Picasa to be the default viewer for my pics. Yes, I've right clicked>properties>open with and picasa is not given as an option. Going to default media options also does not give me picasa. I don't know where else to look for changing it. Something in gconf-editor perhaps?

Fedora keeps crashing on me. It happens randomly. Sometimes it will give the equivalent of a blue screen for windows. Other times it will just reboot. [URL] Does any of this mean anything to anyone? Would really love to use fedora because I like it a lot an I'm getting familiar with it but it keeps crashing.
Its a fresh install. All I have done so far is installed updates via Yum, including the updated kernel, installed RPM fusion and I installed my wireless drivers.

How do I change the motion.conf to get the program from taking several snapshots? It just keeps running on and on snapping pics. Also, how do I get the program to record video whenever it detects motion?

i am looking for an image manipulator that will run on KDE and lets me convert hundreds of jpgs (> 1 MB each) at once into an emailable size like 50-200 kb each, so i do not have to do that for every picture, one by one.

Everything was going fine until about an hour ago. I havnt changed any settings on the computer. I can't open any folders, they all give a "File not found" error. Also some pics in Firefox have inverted colors. I doubt they are related though. Im running 10.10 and have been for about 2 weeks. I am completely new to linux prior to downloading this.

I am working on a presentation in OpenOffice's Impress. When I try to put animation in either the text or pics, it suddenly quits. I then click into it again and it does a recovery. Has anyone had this problem? What have you done about it? I am on a Dell optiplex 745 dual core with 2 gig memory operating in 10.04.

Open these in separate tabs and compare for yourself: Windows - Ubuntu As far as I know, this color difference between Windows and Ubuntu has existed for years. I mean I have had countless installations of XP's and 7's, and I've tried several versions of Ubuntu. Always noticed that color difference.
I don't know which color is "normal", but I like Windows' way better. How can I achieve this result on Ubuntu? The pictures are both taken in VLC with default configuration. I'd be happy to provide more data, if needed.

Do you know how to convert an animated GIF (only two pics in loop) to FLV or AVI?
I didn't search for a Microsoft alternative that maybe could run with WINE, because I really prefer a native one; also a java version will be fine.

Now this is a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04. I have done nothing but follow the steps on installing flash and ati driver from the main site. I have this problem on my desktop too which also has ATI graphics but with a AMD cpu. The desktop was upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 and the driver installed from ATI site like my laptop. This is really troubling because while the video is in full screen its using over 90% of my cpu?? Then my laptop gets really hot so I just switch back to Windows 7(which only uses 15%). Last time I had this problem was with the FGLRX proprietary drivers on Ubuntu 9.10 with the desktop.
Ubuntu 10.04
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1GHz
4GB
ATI HD 4650 1GB

I downloaded Lives. It looks neat. I cannot figure out how to get still images to form like a slide show. I was able to open a short movie I have uploaded onto my pc from my digital camera. Edit -> Multitrack mode seems to be where multiple movies can be placed. I do not seem to be able to place the still images on here. Maybe I can and they just don't show up on the timeline well.
