Howdy folks, so, I scored an Asus EEE PC 900 from a guy as payment for fixing his other laptop. It's the 4GB SSD version, running a modified Xandros Linux. Yea, I know, 4GB, wtf!?!, but hey, it works great, and that's what SD cards, and external hard drives are for right? So anyway, on to the problem ...
When I plug in my Nikon D5100 I get nothing, the camera LCD turns on, so it knows it's plugged in, but the EEE ain't doing shit, nothing, nada, zip, zelch. I've used Synaptic to install just about every program available that has to do with cameras, and importing pictures from them, but still nothing. I can remove the card from the camera and plug it directly in and download the pictures, but that is not convenient when out in the field.
I've tried to register on the EEE PC users forum, but it's seems like they have the whole IP range that I am in blocked, The first two times I tried I used Yahoo accounts from home, and it instantly blocked me, then I used my work email from work and it let me get as far as creating a post, but banned me as soon as I tried posting it. I keep getting this ...
Tried contacting the admins but am getting no response, so fuck them, their incompetent admins, and their special little "community".
So any EEE PC users, or Linux meisters got any ideas? I'd love to read them.
