Bug Description

I would like to post a regression in regards to my Kodak Co. DX7590. In Jaunty, I am noticing that my camera is mounting twice and attempting loading two import photo dialogs. The second mount errors that show are duhs.
 * Unable to mount Kodak Co. DX7590 - Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device.
 * Import Photos - An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not lock the device'): Camera is already in use.
I can still download images from the camera with the mount and dialog though. This maybe borderline useable, but in addition the camera shows as physical mounted twice in Nautilus and it is not always obvious that it needs to unmounted. This causes any future attempts to dock the camera to fail with out first at least first logging out of my gnome session.

So please no replies about a missing trace... there will be none. Definitely though, point me to what files I should check. I feel this bug lies between gphotofs and hal with a configuration error, but I do not know much else. I should add that I tried this on a fresh install as well as my upgrade from Intrepid with the same results.

This is still occuring in Karmic!!! I now believe it is related to the fact the there are 2 memory cards in the camera... but the 2nd is absolutely necessary as the 1st is tiny.

Same problem with my Kodak M883. I actually get 3 error messages. The first appears to be from Nautilus complaining that it cannot mount the camera (error -60 cannot lock device). The next two are from f-spot. If I remove f-spot (uninstall with the --purge option), I still get the first error. So this is a problem with the mounting process in general. Perhaps something to do with gvfs and gphoto2, but as Jeremy said, I have no idea which files to trace. I can't find this error in any logs either.

My camera also has two memory cards (one internal and one external). I suspect this is industry-standard, which means that nearly every user with a digital camera will have this same complaint.
