Hullo there, I'm trying to use gphoto2 on a debian linux box. The camera in question is an HP Photosmart R507, which is detected when usb is plugged, but no device is being assigned in /proc/bus/usb. Any ideas as to why welcome. It works on another debian box okay, and I can see the new device appearing. Thanks, Jenny

Does it appear in /dev/bus/usb/ instead? Do you have something mounted on /proc/bus/usb/ correctly? For example, I have: procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) If that's not mounted you won't see anything in that directory. J. -- 101 things you can't have too much of : 42 - Pepsi.

Yes, it does! My phone appears in /proc/bus/usb though.

Yes, I do have that mounted. Not sure what this all means. Thanks, Jenny

This is now fixed: knowing where the device was appearing allowed me to check directory permissions and add the correct lines to /etc/group. Many thanks, Jonathan, Jenny
