digital camera doesn't come up in Gnome any more (USB)

I have an older Fuji digital camera that has been working well with Arch for over a year.  I plugged into via USB today and turned it on.  Usually a PTP camera icon comes up on my Gnome desktop.  I am unable to access it anymore it would seem.

My dmesg shows only one line: "usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4" and I am unable to see the think from the shell.  Thoughts are welcomed.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

That was indeed the problem.  Thanks wonder!
