kodak easyshare CX6330 help

[engagedswitch]

hello everyone.
the problem i have is that xubuntu linux will not see my Kodak Easy Share CX6330 camera when i plug it in.
i know that the ubuntu family can see and use this camera just fine.
its pretty much plug and play with ubuntu itself.
but, on this computer i had to switch it from ubuntu to xubuntu due to performance reasons.
for the most part the move was ultra easy and xubuntu does everything quickly and easily with the exception of this.
i have been use google to see if i can the drivers but, all the forums i come across say that it should be plug and play.
but,xubuntu doesnt see it all.
what i am wondering is can i go into the terminal and mount it there and if so how do i go about it??
sorry for asking but i am still a newbie at linuix espically at usally the terminal but i am loving the experience so far.
thanks for any and all help.
have a great day
jeremy

sorry I am out of town and only have internet access here and there

plug in the camera and type "sudo fdisk -l"

post what you get

[jmadero]

it's definitely supported by gphoto so try this

sudo apt-get install digikam

then go into digikam and see if you can import from camera (make sure camera is on and in "view" mode)

I had a Canon Z812 IS and this is what it took to get it working for me with gtkam, which uses the libghoto2 library, same as digikam I believe.

This assumes that it is recognized as a USB device. When you have it plugged in, open a terminal and type

lsusb

Looks for a line indicating the camera or post here for help identifying it. You may need to restart HAL or just restart the computer with it plugged in for it to be recognized.

With my camera the line looked as so

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 040a:059a Kodak Co.

You'll need the ID part of this info so write it down or otherwise keep note of it.

Now do

sudo mousepad /etc/udev/rules.d/54-gphoto.rules

and add a line that reads

SYSFS{idVendor}=="VENDORID", SYSFS{idProduct}=="PRODUCTID", MODE="0660", GROUP="camera"

where VENDORID is the first part (before the colon) of the ID number and PRODUCTID the second. So in my example VENDORID is "040a" and my PRODUCTID is 059a.

Note that mousepad is usually the default XFCE text editor, I assume Xubuntu uses it, but you can replace that with whatever text editor you have installed. Programs like gtkam should now see your camera.
