Camera :- medion md5319 02/03 installing on Deb 2.6.32-squeeze5

[Capt.Crow]

Badly stuck on howto install above model on Deb.

So far I have been using Mega Camera Manager on XP pro. But the transfer leaves the photos blurred (lossy)

I would really appreciate pointers so I could upload direct to debian hd and work with KDE Xcam.

I love this little camera even if it is a low pixel steam age model . It is tiny and very efficient.

[Guest LilBambi]

Hi Capt Crow. You want to use the current Stable Wheezy, not Squeeze. Might even be supported out of the box.

 

libphoto2-2 might help since it is the lib from libgphoto2-2, Kamera, etc. in current stable Wheezy for libphoto2-2

 

Here's more info on gPhoto Project that provides that libgphoto and lists yours as well as other cameras as supported for gphoto.

 

I would try to update your repos and then try to install libgphoto2-2 on your Squeeze install and see if it's available.

 

I have the current libgphoto2-2 on my Debian Wheezy install in KDE via Kamera.

[Capt.Crow]

Thats awesome I've spent weeks mooching around for anything near that .. Many thanks .will let you know how I get on .

[Guest LilBambi]

Keeping fingers crossed! If it doesn't work in Squeeze, you might want to redo your install up to Wheezy. Here's hoping it will work for you though.

[securitybreach]

Also, shouldn't this be posted in BATL instead of Hardware?

[Guest LilBambi]

Could go either way actually since the question is about Capt. Crow's Camera support in Linux.

 

We can move it there and leave a link here. That way people will see it in both but it will be in BATL.

[securitybreach]

Sounds good to me

[sunrat]

libgphoto2-2 is in the squeeze repo.

[Guest LilBambi]

Thanks sunrat! Excellent!

[Capt.Crow]

gphoto2 .2.4.5-3...command line client This I installed .now I gotta find the man page

gphotofs 0.4.0-3 filesystem to mount cams This one umm!

 

 

I have in Info centre uchi hst ctlr 2 :- SPCA504a Digital Camera.

 

Well at least the puter knows the cam is there.

So I ran a camera search on synaptic and came uo with some interesting files.to witt

 

eject 2.1.5 Some of these look usefull

exiv2 0.2.0-2 There was the "sane" suite too

halinfo 20091131-1 stuff for scanner. Later much later for that.

libcv2.1 2.1.9-3

libcvaux2.1 2.1.0-3

libdc 1394-22 2.1.0-3

libexif12 0.6.19-1

 

Ouch that post did not upload the way I blocked it out

[Guest LilBambi]

I would try to install Kamera (from KDE) works great and makes use of your gphoto2-2.

[abarbarian]

Debian

Rapid Photo Downloader is packaged in Debian unstable and Debian experimental.

http://www.damonlynch.net/rapid/download.html

 

I installed this on Arch yesterday, took two minutes. took another couple of minutes to set up. Works well.

[Capt.Crow]

I had a good read www.damonlync

 

Its a little too far out there for me. Looks like something for the professionals.

 

I am going to try Kamera.

As soon as I find a way to unload all the junk that is threatening the kernel .

 

I really should have completed the Slackbox before I started messing about with this one .

Fingers crossed

[Guest LilBambi]

Always good to not paint yourself into a corner ... then kernel panic doesn't panic user as much.

[Capt.Crow]

This thorny old problem has raised it's ugly head again. I took some photos of a friends farm the other day .I would really like to 1 see them 2 print them out 3 do a painting of the best one .

 

Kamera installed

lsusb :- bus 003 device 003:id 04fc; 504a Sunplus Technology Co.,Ltd Aipteck Mini PenCam 1.3

 

So it's there ,it's live . Just cant mount it . Not even get the EXE to kick with Wine . on Deb 8

 

Will not even work on W7 although someone else was trying that out

[sunrat]

Looks like it's stopping because

The gtk frontend needs a working python-gtk2 and python-glade2.

Package linux-libc-dev is not installed.

Try installing those first.

[Dr. J]

What it looks like to me is it simply can't find the correct version of one of the dependencies... This happened to me a few times because I didn't refresh the package database before installing something.

[sunrat]

Oops, I missed that this was on Debian Squeeze. LTS ended back in February. You can still use it but you need to change to the to the archive repositories. Better would be to upgrade to Debian Jessie, or even Wheezy which will have LTS until 2018. There are no security updates for Squeeze any more.

Update to Wheezy -

https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Using

Change to Squeeze archive -

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianSqueeze

 

 

 

Q) Now that squeeze is archived, how do I get packages for it?

 

Use the following in your sources.list:

• 
  deb http://archive.debian.org/debian squeeze main
  deb http://archive.debian.org/debian squeeze-lts main
   
  

The second line will fail with an "expired" type message, so you also need to add the following in /etc/apt/apt.conf (create it if it doesn't already exist):

• 
  Acquire::Check-Valid-Until false;
   
  

 

[Capt.Crow]

Thanks for the reply Sunrat . The squeese is squashed and now it's moved on to Jessie . Deb 8 .

What I don't understand is why the python -gtk2 and python-glade2 are not coming down from the repos.

 

Synaptic giving a 404 on these

[sunrat]

Do

apt-cache policy python-gtk2 python-glade2

They are definitely in the Jessie repo.

[Capt.Crow]

Yes they are listed in the Synaptic . Just not installed . and don,t come down the line . Tried twice . .Will do an SU and apt-get . ..........

 

Just did apt-cache and yes thet are both installed 2.24.0-4 .

 

Aghhhhh! where is the gui for the camera.. Head banger for sure .

Any more of this and it's back to Slack for me .

[securitybreach]

Odd for sure

[sunrat]

Please do as root from a terminal -

apt-get update

then

apt-get install -f

 

It's trying to download linux-libc-dev_3.16.7-ckt25-1 while the current version on the server is linux-libc-dev_3.16.7-ckt25-2 . Which means you probably didn't update the package database before trying to install. Hopefully the 2 commands above will fix it.

Synaptic should have worked as long as you did Refresh before trying to install. I don't trust it to recover problems as well as apt-get which is why the second command may be better than Synaptic.

[Dr. J]

Here's an interesting one... I came across (or rather, found after some time searching) a medion camera I have. The md5319, same as yours Captain!

Anyway, I tried it on Arch but got nothing (It was there, lsusb found it, but no mountable filesystems), so I tried it on my backup netbook, also on Debian 8 with the MATE desktop. Soon as I plugged it in, there it was on the desktop! I installed Kamera, but honestly I don't think I needed it... Double click on the icon and up it pops, even had a few old photos on it. I've got a funny feeling that (rock solid as it may be) Debian offers vastly different configs with different desktop environments. Might be a bit extreme, but installing MATE might pull down the libs required to mount your camera.

[sunrat]

@Dr.J what does lsusb say your camera model is?

 

gphoto2 lists Medion MD 5319 as supported - http://www.gphoto.or...to2/support.php

If the camera supports MTP or PTP it should not even need libgphoto2.

 

More weirdness, libgphoto2 does not even list the dev packages as dependencies.

[Dr. J]

Here it is...

Bus 003 Device 006: ID 04fc:504a Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd Aiptek Mini PenCam 1.3

I've installed MATE on Arch as well now (I actually prefer it over KDE, and plasma 5 will eventually do an annoying, buggy upgrade to version 6) and whatever the kicker is, it's not part of that. I installed libgphoto2, but that didn't make it kick in automatically anyway.

[sunrat]

Definitely the same as Capt.Crow's.

I don't imagine DE has much to do with it.

I love Plasma 5 but it is still a bit buggy so I'm using MX-15/Xfce as my main presently. siduction will have a new version soon with Plasma 5.6 so I'm eager to try it. Still, KDE4 was not excellent till 4.10.

[Dr. J]

I don't imagine DE has much to do with it.

Could have been a (tiny) chance that a dependency in there had something to do with it. I guess not though.
