‹ what TradeMe doesn’t know about customer service… it seems, a lot •
- plug new digital camera into usb
- run gphoto2… get error (something about kernel)
- try digikam. error connecting
- try konqueror. nothing detected.
- unplug camera, repeat process with a vague sense of futility
- remove SD card from aforementioned camera, try plugging into internal card reader in laptop
- when nothing happens, spend 45 mins reading about internal card readers only to discover they’re generally not supported well. fail miserably getting anything to happen there
- give up on SD card, return to camera, plug in usb again and begin search for more info about specific model
- KDE automatically detects USB mass storage and pops up a dialog… twice. in annoyance, select “do nothing”… twice
- Somehow Konqueror still opens, displaying the now-mounted usb storage device representing your camera, complete with photos ready and available to be copied.
That, my friends, is the true definition of frustration.
