importing from camera doesn't work

[zb1000]

On Ubuntu 10.04, i cant import photos directly from camera.
But if I unmount the camera, then i can import photos.

I tried with 8 different cameras on 3 computers runinng ubuntu 10.04 and had the same problem!

What makes and models are the cameras?

[zb1000 (maildebab)]

Hello,

Sorry for being so long. And sorry for bad english :)

I tried two "Canon powershot A710 IS", one "Canon EOS 1000D", one "Canon EOS
450", one "Lumix G1" and i don't remember for the others.

On the computer i am actually using, i just tried a Canon Powershot A710 IS.

On french and american forums, i saw that this bug has appeared sometime.
The solution was always to unmont the camera and then to import.

This worked until i tried to uninstall and reinstall libgphoto2.2. After
reinstall, my camera isnt mounted by system (so impossible to unmount) but
it is still impossible to import pictures from the camera.

I had installed Xubuntu-desktop and Kubuntu-desktop, and with both, import
works without any problem.

To import, i tried digikam, gthumb and gtkam.

It looks like the Canon Powershot A710 IS is not currently supported by libgphoto2 (unless you actually mean to write Digital IXUS 710IS). See http://www.gphoto.org/news/

[Marcus Meissner (meissner)]

this is again GVFS having the camera open and then running a tool that does not use gvfs to handle photo import,
like f-spot. "(unmounting really means gvfs unmount here, as the canons are no mass storage)".

new canons are always supported, there is Generic PTP support in libgphoto2.

I looked at this website but i didnt understand that it is not supported.
Strange, because it worked before i had ubutnu 10.04
