<div dir="ltr">Hi Nicole,<div><br></div><div>This kind of problem can be located in your system library.</div><div><br></div><div>Canon camera driver is included in Gphoto2 and use libusb in background to communicate. I suspect an older Gphoto2 problem back... This can be probably a problem from your Linux box. Which Linux system do you use ?</div><div><br></div><div>The alternative is to use a memory card reader directly and to not use your camera connected to your computer. This way do not use a specific driver and work better than Gphoto2 way. For ex, with a memory card reader, thumbnails are always generated. Which Gphoto2, this depend of driver support.</div><div><br></div><div>Best</div><div><br></div><div>Gilles Caulier</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2018-03-06 23:47 GMT+01:00 Nicole Graffam <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ngraffam@gmail.com" target="_blank">ngraffam@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><code>Hello,<br><br>I'm a new Linux user and I just downloaded digikam. I'm trying to
connect my camera, a Canon EOS Rebel T5, and it either doesn't detect
the camera, or if I try connecting it manually, it shows up as a Canon
EOS 1200D, and that in turn does not connect to the program. The message
I'm getting is "Failed to connect to the camera. please make sure it is
connected properly and try again." It's...definitely connected
properly. My USB outlets work fine. I looked up the list of compatible
cameras and mine is on it. Could this be a bug? How do I fix it?<br><br></code></div><code>Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br><br></code></div><code>Thanks in advance,<br><br></code></div><code>Nicole Graffam<br></code></div>
