I have two SuSE 9.1 setups; one on a desktop and the other a laptop. The laptop can see my Canon IXUS camera; the desktop can't, though it used to be able to last week on 9.0 before I installed the new version of the OS. USB printer is fine. Does anyone know how to debug this part of the system?
What does dmesg report when you plug the camera in? At least this will tell you if the camera is being detected. If it gets that far then it is usually up to hotplug do something with that information. Also how did you get pictures off the camera in the past? did it appear as a removable hard disk or did you need to use an application to pull the pictures off?

Thanks for diving in, Adam - here's what I've got:
dmesg reports "usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using address 2".
On the desktop machine using 9.0 I used DigiKam, the KDE front-end for GPhoto2. It now won't autodetect the camera and reports "Failed to autodetect camera". Manual doesn't work either; it reports "Failed to initialize camera". On the laptop with 9.0 the camera appeared as a hard disk; on 9.1 it doesn't show but DigiCam works.
On the desktop machine the sound doesn't work either, though I believe it did just after I installed. Any attempt to play audio results in dmesg spewing out a load of messages like
"ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:728: invalid via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer"
Also, issuing a command at the laptop to copy a file from the desktop (mounted as a NFS share) results in very slow transfer with many pauses and loads of the following in dmesg:
"NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 786d, resetting... eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII #1 link partner capability of 45e1."
Is this a sick puppy?
