With every update, LibreOffice becomes the best alternative to Microsoft Office and the first choice for Linux users. After six months of continuous development and efforts of 144 contributors (Thank you!), the Document Foundation announced the release of LibreOffice 7.5, which brought many notable improvements.

I have a OpenMediaVault box that I used as a media server at home.

I also have written some basic scripts to automate some things, like for instance, when I connect my Canon camera via USB it'll automatically upload the photos and put it into the right folders.

Unfortunately, I have had some issues over the last couple of years with it. The server wasn't recognising my camera when plugged in, but was recognised when in my Windows laptop. I thought maybe the cable might have been faulty, so started using a little USB SD Card reader instead, but then that stopped working properly, so I bought a new USB cable for the camera.

Worked fine for a few months, but now that has done exactly the same thing; it's not recognised but it works fine with Windows laptop. So therefore, I think it's not the cable now, it must be the server hardware?

After checking dmesg:

[ 140.594156] usb 1-2: new high-speed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd
[ 140.751292] usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=04a9, idProduct=3253, bcdDevice= 0.02
[ 140.751297] usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[ 140.751300] usb 1-2: Product: Canon Digital Camera
[ 140.751303] usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Canon Inc.

I don't see any errors in dmesg output, but blkid doesn't show the device.

I'm just a newbie so not sure what the problem could be or what to try?

This might seem like a stupid question, but if there are Linux distributions such as PuppyLinux that is made to be as small as possible and still working why isn't there a source tarball for the kernel that holds only whats needed for a certain CPU and GPU?

If I don't have anything in my laptop as standard that needs modules for a different architecture I see no need for these in the kernel source.

Modules can be added with lets say a package called kernel-extras to increase support for newly connected devices.
