    Unhappy how do i access my camera's mount point?

    so I am very new to Ubuntu, I love it but I am very new to it. I have had dual boot XP/Ubuntu and have been using it more and more.

    Today I ran into a problem where I can't figure out how to access the directory of my camera's mount point. I plug in the camera it starts up...F-spot finds it and offers to import, does so successfully. BUT I can't figure out where to find the mount point to cd into it. gThumb has no problem with finding it via the file>import photos...

    can anyone please help me?

    it should be /media/something. If you look around you should see something that looks like you camera. I think my computer always does it to /media/CANON or something. Since my camera is a canon SD1000 it made sense that /media/CANON is my SD card.

    Re: how do i access my camera's mount point?

    hmm I looked in /media and /mnt, there was nothing there. Now there are dirs named camera but I created those in my "feeling in the dark" method of somehow getting it mounted to where I know it would be.

    Not sure if this is because I dual boot and Ubuntu has access to the Windows partition but my /media has all the Windows directories in it. In addition, somehow the /media/camera directory has everything in it from /media...odd.

    So yea..if anyone can help I'd be very grateful. This quest started for me with this message. "from the shell cd to your SD card's mount point"

    Use the mount command to list mounted partitions:
    Code:
    mount

    Alrite, so since I can't find it where it's getting mounted automatically can I specify where it should mount to so then I can access it?
