All:
Why is my Olympus digital camera not recognized by KDE 4 and Mandriva
Linux 2010?

I give up. You'll have to be a little more vague before anyone could
possibly help you.

Need model number and how you're trying to get it 'recognized'. I use USB
card readers - then I never see issues like that - and save the batteries.

Many digital cameras don't support USB Mass storage. Because of that
the files they contain can't be read directly as if they were a drive
or memory card in a card reader.

Files are downloaded from these cameras using a set of commands. A
protocol is used that is much like FTP. (File transfer Protocol).

In Linux, Gphoto2 is a popular application for interfacing with cameras
that don't support USB mass storage. If you add a graphical front end
like GTkam you can access files from your camera.

Here is a list of cameras that don't have USB mass storage and are
supported by gphoto2. If your model is listed there then you need
to urpmi gphoto2 and gtkam.

Jim:
My Olympus camera worked great under Mandriva 2009. Now, Mandriva 2010
uses Kamera. Should I set the system up to use something else? If so,
how?
