When I connect my Fuji FinePix to my PC(Linux Mint Fluxbox 9 RC) it doesn't mount automatically. Nothing happens at all. No errors, no messages.
How can I mount it manually?

The easiest way I have found is to install a dedicated photo manager such as F-Spot. This will install the necessary libraries to detect cameras that do not present themselves as simple external storage devices. After installing F-Spot you can use the import tool to grab your photos. The important library is libgphoto or something like that... if I remember correctly.

Is it shown in the file manager? If so click on it!
If not run
and see if it shows up there. I don't have a camera to test with, but after I plugged in my phone (which contains a camera) I get this:
Code: Select all
Disk /dev/sdc: 63 MB, 63681024 bytes
8 heads, 16 sectors/track, 971 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 128 * 512 = 65536 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 * 1 972 62188+ 6 FAT16
(I also get a lot of info about my hard disks, but you should be able to tell which is which - do you have many 63Mb disks formatted fat 16?)
Anyway you can tell from that the device address for my camera/phone is /dev/sdc1, so I run:
Code: Select all
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /media
Go to the /media directory in a file manager and there is my phone/camera.

Not quite manual --
Install gtkam
Edit ~/.config/Thunar/volmanrc
Change :
Autophoto=TRUE
AutophotoCommand=gtkam
Should now be automatic.
