Does anyone have experience attaching a Kodak easyshare camera to
Ubuntu? I'm using Karmic (9.10). When I attach the camera, Ubuntu
recognises it as a camera and prompts to start F-Spot. I launch F-Spot
which hangs with the following error message:

Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Andrew.
 Hi Andrew:

I have a bunch of Cameras here. Kodak and DXG, They have SD Cards in
them. So you put the pictures on the SD Card. Then pull out the card,
and put it in a Card Reader. All the Photo Programs will work just fine!
It does not need special drivers then. Any camera with an External Card,
you have a reader for, will work in this way. 

If nothing else works try this method!

Alfred!
