Can't ID Firewire via ExpressCard

Post by ezsurfer »

My ExpressCard plugs in, but it's not triggering any event at all

tail -f /var/log/messages

does nothing. Plugged in my mem stick to validate I typed correctly.

Also, Computer doesn't show the digital camcorder, nor can I see the device in any way I have looked (Doesn't show on blkid probe, either.) So, any ideas how to get this hardware rolling???


Thanks,

Clif

You have to tell us more facts.
The minimum is exactly which Mint you have - which version and which edition (main or any of the CEs)
We also need to know a bit about all your hardware.
Run " lspci " in a terminal and post here
Some wifi and possibly built in sound can be connected to USB even if they are internal - if you suspect you have one of these run " lsusb " in a terminal.
This topic contains links to all (?) the really good solutions for sound in Mint
Also tell us if this is using mint4win or not, quite important
This is a standard answer so it may not be fully applicable to your situation

Doesn't change anything when I plug in the Firewire via ExpressCard adapter
to the JVC Digital Camcorder GR-D90U

Also tail -f /var/log/messages results in no changes at all when the digital camcorder is plugged in.

It uses I believe it's AVC technology. Checked it on a WIndows machine, working very well. So it's definitely not the JVC.
