Camera Mount Not Seen on Desktop or in Thunar

I am using 4.12 on Debian Buster.  All seems to work well.  When I plug in my camera, I see dialogs pop up saying it was found, and my program (Shotwell) comes up to import the photos.  All that works well and as expected.

However, there is no desktop icon for the drive, nor any mounted location anywhere in the whole file system.  I have never seen this in any other OS I've used.  I have checked every box I can find regarding removable media under Settings Manager, but nothing makes any difference.

I thought this was a OS problem, but no one has found any issue.  Is it an Xfce problem?

Sorry, but I do not understand what might be used to change any setting or parameter of the OS or DE.  I am also running that link by the people in Debian forum.  Maybe that will give some idea.

Re: Camera Mount Not Seen on Desktop or in Thunar

Is your digital camera configured as MTP, PTP, or “USB mass storage device class” / USB MSC / UMS? Try switching it to one of the other protocols and see if you are then able to mount it.

There are no such choices in the camera.

Re: Camera Mount Not Seen on Desktop or in Thunar

Is it possible that there needs to be a mount command associated with the insertion of the camera cable into the USB slot?  Is there something missing in the Xfce installation of Debian 10?

One person was able to duplicate my problem, but only intermittently.

Am I correct in assuming that Xfce is mounting the USB devices?

Re: Camera Mount Not Seen on Desktop or in Thunar

Just a guess...

Your camera is from the stone age... and I got a scanner from the same period. A couple of years ago the support for my scanner disappear and I had to do my own udev rule like this:

### /etc/udev/rules.d/
# Canon CanoScan LiDE25
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2220", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

I saved it as 60-canon-lide-25.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d

You got idVendor=04a9 and idProduct=314f in your dmesg. Try to write a own rule for your camera based on my scanner rule. I don't remember there I got my ENV settings from, or if it is necessary. Use google to find out, search "udev env". Or do a try without it.

[Away for a wile.]
