To get my Olympus mju 810/Stylus 810 to successfully connect to the PC as a USB mass storage device, I had to comment out lines beginning with

ATTRS{idVendor}=="07b4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0109"

in /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libgphoto2.rules

as advised in the gphoto-users mailing list at

After that, I was able to see and use my camera as a USB mass storage device. But there were two camera icons: one for a camera interface and another for the USB mass storage device. I tried both icons, both with and without an xD card memory. This is what happened:

1. I get two icons for the camera, regardless of whether or not I use xD card memory. The icon tooltips reveal the following for the pair of icons:

A. Camera with no card but only internal memory
===============================================
Name: USB Mass Storage Interface
Type: Camera
Base URL: camera://Olympus%20X-450 [usb:003,005]/

Name: 30M Removable Media
Type: Mounted Camera
Base URL: file:///media/disk
Device Node: /dev/sdc1

B. Camera with xD card memory
=============================
Name: USB Mass Storage Interface
Type: Camera
Base URL: camera://Olympus%20X-450 [usb:003,008]/

Name: 1.0G Removable Media
Type: Mounted Camera
Base URL: file:///media/disk
Device Node: /dev/sdc1

The second icon of each pair shows up like a conventional USB drive in that it has a mount point (automatically selected by udev.rules?) at /media/disk. When mounted, it has a green arrow at the bottom right corner, and must be safely removed.

The first icon of each pair is identified as a camera but it crashes digikam when used with internal memory (see below).

2. With the 30 MB internal memory, if I click on the first icon, digikam downloads images from internal memory but crashes at 30% of download. However, if I click on the second icon, it downloads successfully all the way.

3. With the 1 GB xD card memory, digikam downloads successfully from both icons.

On all occasions, the USB mass storage camera is being autodetected by digikam.

I can furnish screenshots of the two icons and their tooltips if necessary. Do let me know please.
