Bug Description
STATUS (2010-08-07): This bug was closed with a fix which, sadly, doesn't work in many locales.
This is a regression for LTS users who upgraded from Hardy to Lucid.
A trivial fix is available in comment #26.
=================
In 8.04 I had configured gthumb --import-photos to run when I plugged in my camera. (System | Preferences | Removable Drives and Media...). But 8.10 when I plug in my camera, Nautilus mounts it via gphoto2 vfs which makes gthumb complain that it can't grab the device.
I can't find any way to tell Nautilus not to mount the camera. I tried setting the File Management Preferences for Photos to "do nothing" but it still does the something of mounting it.
The only workaround I've found is to open up nautilus, unmount the camera and then run gthumb --import-photos from the command line.
I don't know if this is a bug in hal, nautilus, or gnome-volume-
SRU TEST CASE:
* Install gthumb, plug in a gphoto camera. Choose "gThumb" in the dialog about what to do with the device.
* intrepid final: gthumb opens main window and selecting File -> Import Photos fails with a device access error.
* with proposed fix: gthumb opens import dialog, device access works.
* Plug in a mass storage camera. Choose "gThumb" in the dialog about what to do with the device.
* intrepid final: gthumb opens main window
* with proposed fix: gthumb opens import dialog

Try this:
Go to: System -> Preferences -> Main Menu (In there navigate to Preferences and the check File Management)
then
Go to: System -> Preferences -> File Management | Media and then set Photos to gthumb.
See what happens then.
