Canon doesn't mount
When I switch on my camera connected by usb, in lshal I see following:
lshal -m
Start monitoring devicelist:

Re: Canon doesn't mount
What camera model is it?
I think you have to install something like gphoto because the camera won't act like a mass storage device...

Re: Canon doesn't mount
Can you mount it manually? Try:
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdxx /mntwhere "sdxx" is a pointer to your camera. I don't know how to tell which one is my camera, so I usually guess. 
Examples:
/dev/sda1
/dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb2

Re: Canon doesn't mount
Mounting it like that only works if it's a usb mass storage (UMS) device, as Urfaust already said. If it is, dmesg will tell you the correct device name - or you can guess, like drcouzelis. 
If it's not UMS, it will probably be PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol), and for that you need gphoto2. Some cameras support both protocols, selectable on the camera's menu.

libgphoto2 is installed.

I can't find one.

Re: Canon doesn't mount
So it's PTP, and you're using gphoto2, which means the camera won't mount, as it is not a block device. Your first post indicated that you were expecting automatic access to the camera, but that's not going to happen until you configure it. Our wiki doesn't seem to have much on this topic, so I'd recommend you start at gphoto.org.
There is another option - take the flash card out of the camera, put it in a USB card reader, and mount it as a UMS device.

Hm. But it works before.

Yeah. I know. But I would like use both ways.
