Hey all,
I was playing with my digital camera today and couldn't get it to load the photos on it. I checked under "system->preference->removable drives and media" and it has "gthumb --import-photos" for digital cameras. I tried to "pacman -S gthumb", not found. Tried "yaourt -S gthumb", nothing. Even tried to google "Arch Linux gthumb", couldn't find my answer. How do I get gthumb installed short of building it from scratch?

Maybe refresh your package lists? (pacman -Syy)

Thanks guys. It's quite possible I was typing "pacman -S gphoto" instead of "gthumb"! LOL... well, I am a noob to Arch & pacman.

Err, one other little question. Libgphoto2 doesn't support my camera yet but I've used it before with other distributions. All they are doing is mounting the camera as a SD card so I can get the files from it. I'm thinking I can just change the "gthumb --import-photos" that is ran when I connect the camera to some mount-type command. Anyone know right off how to do that and for a "normal" user?
Thanks,

I don't know the command... but pmount should allow you to mount removal drives as a user.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

I'm not sure "pmount" is what I'm looking for. Anyone know how they do it in other distributions like Fedora or Ubuntu? I don't have them installed now to look. When you insert a SD card or connect a camera with a SD card in it, it should just mount it automatically.

Depending on your Desktop Environment, there are tools that will do that. Look at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL … ting_fails for troubleshooting.

Thanks arkham. I followed the instructions in your link but plugging in my camera still does nothing. Any other ideas?

*Bump*
Any ideas on this? I'm sure I could dig hard enough and find an answer on google somewhere but I know an Arch/Linux wiz on here could save me the trouble .
