Bug Description
Binary package hint: gphoto2
As a normal user, I cannot access my Canon Digital IXUS 60 camera in Ubuntu anymore (it worked in 7.10, currently using 8.04 development):
$ gphoto2 --auto-detect
Model Port
-------
Canon Digital IXUS 60 (PTP mode) usb:
Canon Digital IXUS 60 (PTP mode) usb:005,008
$ gphoto2 --get-all-files
*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not claim the USB device'): Could not claim interface 0 (Operation not permitted). Make sure no other program or kernel module (such as sdc2xx, stv680, spca50x) is using the device and you have read/write access to the device.
*** Error (-53: 'Could not claim the USB device') ***
For debugging messages, please use the --debug option.
Debugging messages may help finding a solution to your problem.
If you intend to send any error or debug messages to the gphoto
developer mailing list <email address hidden>, please run
gphoto2 as follows:
env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-
Please make sure there is sufficient quoting around the arguments.
I've attached the debug file. I think it's a permission problem, as it works with the "root" user.
Could you please attach the output of the file generated on your desktop by this command:
dmesg > ~/Desktop/dmesg.txt
And also optionally try, from command line:
sudo fspot-import
and tell us if it works.
Thank you.
