[lug] Digital Camera and gphoto

[Elyse Grasso]

I'm trying to get my new camera to talk to my Linux laptop, and I think 
I'm making progress in the wrong direction.

Earlier this evening, I plugged in the usb cable and 
/proc/bus/usb/devices knew there was a Canon camera there, but said 
there wasn't a driver for it. 

After downloading and building libusb, libgphoto2, and gphoto2,
the laptop is now not recognizing that the camera is connected to it:

# cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
T:  Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#=  1 Spd=12  MxCh= 2
B:  Alloc=  0/900 us ( 0%), #Int=  0, #Iso=  0
D:  Ver= 1.00 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00
S:  Product=USB UHCI Root Hub
S:  SerialNumber=dce0
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr=  0mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   8 Ivl=255ms

I'd appreciate any suggestions about things to try ...

I have verified that my usb external drive still works, so I haven't 
completely hosed the usb subsystem...
