    Sony DCR-DVD405 (USB) doesn't get mounted anymore...

    Hi! I'm having trouble making my camera get mounted. The strange thing is that a few days ago it DID work... I would connect the camera, select "COMPUTER" in its LCD and then the "A new medium has been detected" would come up to allow me get the camera mounted.

    Now this doesn't come up anymore.
    The output of 'sudo tail -f /var/log/messages' when I connect and then disconnect the usb cable is:

    Code:

    The output to 'lsusb' is:

    Code:
    Bus 005 Device 014: ID 054c:0255 Sony Corp.

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    And there it is, in Bus 005.

    Any idea of what could be wrong?
    Thanks!

        Strange... are you sure that that's everything that gets printed?
        Next time you do it, try "dmesg", rather than looking at /var/log/messages. This'll give more output on what happened. (It'll give a whole lot of output, you only need the last several lines.)

        If you can figure out which device node the drive got assigned, try mounting it.

          You rather may want to read through the contents of /etc/mtab (with the USB device plugged in, of course ...).

            I thought so... here it is /etc/mtab while the device was plugged in:

            The output to 'dmesg tail' is:

            I thought that this one and the cat /var/log... were the same, but just in real time, but I can see that it isn't, since the output to cat (...) was now:

            Does this give some more insight?

              There seems to be something broken with HAL in Feisty

              There's some workarounds in here:

                Assuming that these are your "regular" disks, I dare say that your system is downright ignoring your camera in terms of "file systems and the like" ... therefore, I'd suggest you "nail down" this device by hand, as elaborated in this text.

                  Unless you inserted a CD (or did something with a CD) while you were also using your camera, I'd suspect that it's being recognized as a CD drive.

                  Instead of the fstab, try plugging it in and going to System Settings > Disk & Filesystems. This'll (hopefully) also show the name, etc. of the device. If you can pick it out (or at least identify it by a new entry), inspect the values it shows. (You may want to try hitting "Modify", but the results could be undesirable with precarious fstabs.)

                    Re: Sony DCR-DVD405 (USB) doesn't get mounted anymore...

                    It is a Mini-DVD Camera. I went to Disk & Filesystems and an entry with 'Device' /dev/scd0 and 'Name' Optical Disk DDX-C1002 shows up. And it turns out that:

                    Code:
                    neoakiraz@fcksys:~$ ls -l /dev/sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-05-30 00:52 /dev/sr0 -> scd0

neoakiraz@fcksys:~$ ls -l /dev/scd0
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2007-05-30 00:52 /dev/scd0
                    Using Modify/Enable and specifying the filesystem seems to produce the same results as mounting the device, with some 'guessed' filesystems. Mounting with iso9660 produces:

                    Code:
                    neoakiraz@fcksys:~$ sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/sony
mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
    missing codepage or other error
    In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
    dmesg | tail or so
                    Mounting with usbfs doesn't produce any output, and I can even access the mountpoint, but the contents are not the ones expected (it should have a VR_SOMETHING folder and some other files...)

                    Code:
                    neoakiraz@fcksys:~$ ls -R /media/sony

                    I updated to Feisty yesterday, was using Edgy until then. The update didn't seem to help this matter (everything else working great!).
                    Those are my regular disks, and I tried going through that text, but I'm not sure what to do: fdisk -l doesn't show up my camera, just:

                    Code:
                    root@fcksys:/home/neoakiraz# fdisk -l

                    It's a shame I didn't take a look at the mounted device once it worked... If I knew the filesystem maybe I could try mounting it by hand or something, right?
                    Thanks for all your help. I hope you can help me fix this

                      Let's forget about that for the moment and concentrate on /dev/sr0 instead (- I missed that in your previous post ... sorry).

                      Did you try (as hinted in another thread of yours) to manually add the "storage" kernel module (e.g. by sudo modprobe -v usb_storage)? Did that change anything?

                      In addition, you may want to try mounting without specifying a file system - thus forcing mount to (hopefully) guess what would be correct (?).

                        Without manually loading usb_storage, he output of dmesg already spits:

                        Code:

[ 2198.409851] usb-storage: device scan complete
                        Any way I tried loading the module again, but nothing changed.

                        One thing I noted is that the first time I plug the camera since I restart, 'tail -f /var/log/messages' says:

                        Code:

                        ...while in further attempts, these lines don't come up anymore. May that be something it's loading a module for the first time being used, or something like it? Could it be usb_storage?

                        The output of mounting without a filesystem is:

                        Code:
                        neoakiraz@fcksys:~$ sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/sony
mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
                        And, if it adds anything up, dmesg reports:

                        It seems that it tried mounting with udf-fs, right?

                          Re: Sony DCR-DVD405 (USB) doesn't get mounted anymore...

                          I just tried restarting to check if this couldn't have something to do with manually adding the module. I did a 'lsmod | grep usb' and the output didn't report usb_storage. I plugged the camera, the 4 lines I mentioned above appeared between the others the first time, and not in the following pluggings. After the first time I plugged the camera, 'lsmod | grep usb' reported:

                          Code:
                          neoakiraz@fcksys:~$ lsmod | grep usb
usb_storage      72256 0
libusual        17936 1 usb_storage
usbhid         26592 0
hid          27392 1 usbhid
usbcore        134280 6 usb_storage,libusual,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd
scsi_mod       142348 5 sr_mod,usb_storage,sg,sd_mod,libata
                          So it seems it is loading the usb_storage module correctly in demand.

                            Oops, that doesn't look good ... are you sure that the disk (inside the camera) actually does contain a valid file system

                              Mhh I didn't even think of changing the MiniDVD. I did it now, plugged it in and a the "what do you want to do..." window came up. I chose 'open in a new window', but it never showed up, and /var/log/messages reported

                              May 30 12:07:05 fcksys kernel: [ 4577.280684] Unable to identify CD-ROM format.

                              I changed the MiniDVD several times, and this only happens for the second disk. For the first one, it just ignores it. Both disks are working perfectly from within the camera, and are successfully seen by Windows and another PC

                              I'm going to try plugging the camera in in another Kubuntu installation, and see what happens. I'll post this night. Greetz and thx!
