[ILUG] other camera question

[John P. Looney]

 This is annoying me. How do I know what "port" to give gphoto ? It's a
USB camera. Can't it work it out ?

bartender [1]  gphoto2  -P --auto-detect 
and there
Model                          Port            
----------------------------------------------------------
Canon PowerShot A20            usb:            
gPhoto2 reported the error 'Unknown port'

gphoto2 --camera "Canon PowerShot A20" -a
and there

and there

----------------------------------------------------------
Canon PowerShot A20            usb:            
gPhoto2 reported the error 'Unknown port'

 also, this silly application seems to have screenshots of a gnome
frontend on the web site...but what I've built is a CLI. Anyone here using
gphoto ?
