You're very welcome. I only hope that it helps you out.

Do you need help?

Yes, you will have to create that file if you decide to go the udev route. I wouldn't use any other already existing rules files, should you be tempted to do that, just because it may mess up something in your system udev setup. I also think the above 10-local.rules loads earlier than those files, and this is what you want.

Okay, I think I can see what is causing you trouble here. Rather than {serial}==... I believe you should have ATTRS{serial}==... I am certainly no expert, and it has been a while since I messed about with any udev rules as I am trying to cut back on my drinking ;-), but I do think the entire label is necessary. That seems backed up by your result of "command not found" for the {serial}... input. I believe you could add the ATTRS and find it will then work.

If you type `ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid` in a terminal you should get back a list of all your disks uuid symlinks. If you plugged in your camera already, one of them should be something like CAMERA-UUID -> ../../sda1. This is what you are looking for, and you put this symlink in your fstab. Just use the format of UUID=CAMERA-UUID in place of /dev/sda1. For example, mine is "UUID=3874-E1C0 /mnt/sansa vfat user,noauto 0 0" rather than "/dev/sda1 /mnt/sansa ..." In the end, much less messy than udev rules I think.

Hope you get it working.

/sbin/blkid will also tell you what a device's UUID is.

Can we help you?

Hi,

I am trying to ween myself from Windows. A couple of months ago I
installed Debian on my new amd64 box and I am generally quite impressed by the amalgam. There are a few items that I have been unable to address satisfactorily, however.

First, I am a programmer in one of my hobby lives. I love C and C++
and I have installed the gcc and g++ packages on my new box. I have not yet found a good integrated developer environment, however. About the only thing good about Windows, in my opinion, is their Visual C++.

Second, I am an electrical engineer, so I would like to get closer to
the hardware. In order to do so, it would be nice to find a tutorial explaining the standard ways Linux implements plug and play, hardware access permissions, and communication between hardware and applications.

Third, I would like to find a good book to teach me how to accept and
to process mouse, keyboard, graphics tablet, etc. input and how to generate and to operate the graphical windows used in Debian. I understand that the Gnome and/or KDE interfaces are available and it would be nice to know what the differences, similarities, and compatibility issues are from the programmer's perspective. I think I am using Gnome, so my first priority is programming for Gnome, but if I can program for both, even better.

Any recommended literature and relevant references and/or urls are
quite welcome and will be appreciated.

Now, I see ...

When I launch icedove with alltray, drag and drop fails, when I start standalone, it works !

I don't know if I should post a bug again alltray.

Don't know where to look next?

I used alltray long time ago, perhaps my recently force-migration from gnome to xfce was the reason about this issue

Any one with XFCE could start "alltray icedove" and tell me if drag and drops works there ?

Thanks you!
PD: How do you configure icedove (icedove-traybiff?) to doesn't close when you click on close button ?

For Gnome;

For KDE;
http://trolltech.com/products/qt

I am assuming that you are on Debian so the Gnome or KDE development packages are available to you and quite feature full.

I believe that the Eclipse suite;
http://www.eclipse.org/
with 'language IDE's' allows you to develop in C and C++ as well as Java. In fact if you can get Java, the tools, and the Eclipse suite installed and setup properly from either distribution specific packages or generic binaries ( Sun tar.gz files), you'll learn a lot about Linux along the way.

Books;
http://www.oreilly.com/

Debian provides copious amounts of documentation in .txt, .info, .html, .pdf, .ps forms among others. Scan /usr/share/doc or do something like

$>man gcc
$>man info
$>info flex

A lot of docs are available as .html and thus viewable by your browser.

Hope this gets you started.

I would unpack those files into a Maildir and if you then have duplicate emails you can remove them with fdupes.

I recently installed sshfs on this etch system using aptitude install sshfs. I am having the same problem you listed above.
