Panasonic FP2 camera - USB data transfer with Slackware 12.2
in [Linux Help]
|
From: Mike Jones on 8 Jul 2010 08:43 Just got a Panasonic FP2 camera. Having fun so far, but the USB data transfer to PC is painfully slow. Its supposed to be USB-2, so I'm thinking I need to do something to enable the higher speed USB-2 when mounting it? Clues required at this time. ;) XP = alt.os.linux,alt.os.linux.slackware FU = alt.os.linux -- *=( http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/ *=( For all your UK news needs.

However... tail -f /var/log/messages ....does give me "kernel: usb 2-4: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd" ....and http://arstechnica.com/old/content/2003/10/2927.ars ....tells me I don't have a USB-2 device, I have a USB-1 device. D'oh! Unless I've missed something? -- *=( http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/ *=( For all your UK news needs.

A simple read test with another device (USB stick, disk) and/or a different port would sort this out. It would also help to know how you are pulling images and a grep of 'USB' from dmesg and output from lsusb. Cheers, -- Laugh while you can

(though on the Dpreview site they list it as a simple "FullSpeed USB2.0") Anyway aren't 12Mbps quite more than enough for a camera? (or is that not a still pic camera? or maybe just because you take too many pix and use it as an external HD ;-) |
