[Digikam-users] Can't load camera as disk

Thanks alot for answering,

that sounds promising :)

Where do you do that ? In the camera ?
If so I have yet to find a way to do that on the D700.

However I had no problem mounting it as a disk on 11.1. It simply appeared
as sd<some_letter> under /dev and fine. Currently it doesn't :(

Thanks again for that info. Unfortunately I don't even see the D700 under
/dev.

Having it mounted automatically would be fine but for the time being I'd
be happy to be able to mount it manually.

I have no idea where to start looking for a solution.

FWIW here is the putput of a couple of commands right after plugging in
the camera and then switching it on.

If anybody more knowledgeable than me could look at it and tell me what
I could or should investigate I'd be rather thankful.

I also had had a look at this thread:

not-mounting.html
Unfortunately that didn't help me either.
