Bug Description
Binary package hint: gvfs
In Hardy, my camera (Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18) would just be mounted and accessed as a USB mass storage device. In Intrepid, the camera does not work at all. When I connect the camera via USB, an error dialog appears a few seconds later saying "Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device". When I close that error dialog, another one appears saying "Error initializing camera: -1: Unspecified error".
I have attached the output of lshal.
A workaround for me can be achieved by adding the following HAL quirk for my camera:
<match key="camera.
<merge key="camera.
</match>
With camera.
