What's the camera makes? 

Some use a different method of connection. The method escapes me now - 
beings with a 'J' I think. In any case I think most distros will 
problably use gphoto2 software for the connection so you need to check 
that your camera is a supported one (type: gphoto2 --list-cameras).
