I have a Kodak Easyshare Z760. It has a charge cradle and USB connection. When I push the connect button I get the following in dmesg log.

[23022.160361] usb 3-2: new full-speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd
[23022.356001] usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=040a, idProduct=0581

I get a popup asking what I want to do. I use PIX to Import the pictures. Are you using a different utility?

I did see the following old post at Ubuntu that appears relevant.
