hello.<br>
<br>
i don't know what to do. i am a photographer and used to have an old
xp computer, which has been replaced by an ubuntu 12.04 and a
windows 7 machines. on windows xp i used the canon software with no
problems. now none of the two machines will do the job. (the windows
7 machine has a problem with drivers that it doesn't want to install
and i am fed up with it, because i cannot find a solution anywhere.
i even have purchased drivereasy to install the missing drivers, but
even these program will not do it. if someone could help me out with
this i would appreciate it a lot.)<br>
<br>
the ubuntu machine recognizes the cameras same as digikam, but as
long as i want to access the image-files in the cameras, it pops up
following message:<br>
<br>
<meta name="qrichtext" content="1">
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px;
margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"><!--StartFragment-->"Failed
to connect to the camera. Please make sure it is connected
properly and turned on. Would you like to try again?"<br>
<br>
i have a canon eos 500D and an ixus115 HS. i have the same
problems on both cameras on both computers. i have already tried
it out on a third windows 7 computer. on this machine the computer
recognizes each camera and installs the correct drivers
automatically.<br>
<br>
i am not a computer-geek, but i am far enough to know that windows
is everything but a user-friendly system, which has made my life
more difficult for the past 20 years. about ubuntu i know that it
is a much better and reliable system, however only if you know the
technical background...<br>
<br>
i am new with ubuntu and fed up with windows, nevertheless most of
the programs i use work just on windows. therefore i am looking
forward to be able to use all the alternative linux programs, but
since i don't understand most of it, i feel like stranded. i
really need these applications to work as they should. i am really
desperate. i hope somebody can help me out with this. <br>
<br>
looking forward for a reply from your side<br>
kind regards<br>
