Using

Use root as user and type the command lsusb to detect whether your system have detected your Digital Camera. However, you should make your system recognize USB devices first, if you have no idea about that, just check out How to get USB devices working under Linux from linux-usb.org.

Here is the output of my lsusb:

#lsusb
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 040a:0589 Kodak Co.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

1. Of course you should have a digital camera for this section. Actually I have a Kodak C360.

2. If your camera is not included in this list, you must choose all which is the default.
