I have a Cannon powershot A310 digital camera and am trying to
download the picutres from it to my Slack box. I have the scsi
modules installed as well as the USB modules but when I try to
mount the USB I get an error:

mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

When I do dmesg I get the following:

hub.c: new USB device 00:10.1-1, assigned address 11
usb.c: USB device 11 (vend/prod 0x4a9/0x30b8) is not claimed by any active
drive

When I do cat /proc/scsi/scsi the usb file system doesn't show
up in the list of scsi devices.

Anyone got a digital camera they are using with Slack and
can give a little help?

Thanks.

I have never connected my own digital camera to any Linux system, but
I do know that some digital cameras (like my own) that use USB have
two different settings for how the computer system should "see" the
camera: "Mass storage" and "PTP". If your camera has got similar
settings, try playing with them.

Just a thought.

Your Slack install can help far better than most of us here,

navigate to : /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/USB-Digital-Camera-HOWTO

if you have installed Linux documentations package at install time of
course.

True enough words, just a few pointers, look to see if usb-mass storage
modules is installed among others.

Another is to look up the digital camera hardware list. Mine took only a
few minutes to setup initally,YMMV

I have a S400 and it doesn't implement the mass storage interface. In
the end, I used gtkam (and related software) to get my camera hooked up.

That was a year ago, I haven't looked around since to see if there is
anything newer/nicer/...
