[Bug 331681] Re: Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device

[Bart Kroon]

Maverick: New version of Ubuntu, new symptoms; still not solved....

I would say that a Nikon D90 is one of the key cameras in its class so
it should definitely work out of the box. I don't care about using the
CLI to get the pictures but closing down my audio player to get
pictures? That is quite insane imho.

I hope below log of actions and symptoms may help some-one to fix the
problem.


With normal rights on gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor:

No Rhythmbox
Turn on camera
Get files with gphoto2: Success!!! (so the ugly hack is not necessary anymore)
Turn off camera
Start Rhythmbox, play music
Turn on camera
Get files with gphoto2: Same error
Turn off camera


After chmod a-x gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor (ugly hack):

Start Rhythmbox, play music; turn on camera (Nikon D90) --> "Unknown device"; app stays responsive (better than Lucid)
Get files with gphoto2: An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not lock the device'): Camera is already in use.
Close Rhythmbox
Get files with gphoto2: Same error
Turn off camera
Turn on camera
Get files with gphoto2: Success
