Eamonn Sullivan (eamonn-sullivan) wrote : Digital camera mounted, but not displayed on the desktop

This happens in both Dapper and Edgy. I have a Fuji FinePix F601Z. The camera appears to be recognized, but no disk appears on the desktop. However, if I go into Places/Computer, the disk is there, as FUJIFILM USB-DRIVEUNIT. Only when I click on it there, in Nautilus, does the disc appear on my desktop.

Here's what happens in syslog when I attach and turn on the camera:

When I double-click on the disk in Nautilus and the icon appears on my desktop, the following is displayed in syslog:

Sep 30 15:16:26 localhost kernel: [17181890.724000] FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive!

I'm currently running Edgy, updated as of the date of this posting. The oddity makes it harder than necessary to use camera software such as F-Spot or Digikam. I have to jump out and go through the Places/Computer hoop before I can import photos.
