Description

Plugging in a digital camera (tested with Kodak C533, Canon EOS 400 and Canon Powershot G5) on three different Foresights of three different users.

I guess this is an USB device rights issues as this works when we run with superuser rights. Maybe the hotplug setup is wrong?

I think this HAS to work. But still does not!

I did some investigation and it seems we work with hal. I did add some things from this:

http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/doc/manual/permissions-usb.html (beginning with /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/90-gphoto-camera-policy.fdi ) but this resulted in some strange displays of available cameras. Meanwhile the batteries of my camera are empty so I can not test any more.

I think this is solved. This was unscheduled and I think we should move on and file new bugs if it still exists to a specified release.

This was reintroduced by some changes, recently.

This is solved for me with:

dbus=/foresight.rpath.org@fl:1-devel//1/1.0.2-1-4
gphoto-suite=/foresight.rpath.org@fl:1-devel/2.3.1-3-3

Still doesn't work with my Canon Powershot A60.

F-Spot reports an "unknown error", console output:

I made it work now.

I tested gphoto2 on the commandline.

"gphoto2 --get-file 1" reports "error 114: Error in communication with camera"

"gphoto2 --get-file 1 --debug" gives a huge output and an image from the camera. After that, f-spot is able to import photos.
