[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 191316] Re: Fspot reports error for importing Nikon D80

[Broomer68]

1. I am not using F-spot unless I have to. I do like Picasa more for flexible imports, image manipulation and use of directories.
2. I do have a D90 now, and that was still troubling me last time I tried. And for ease of use and greater speed, I am used to swap the SD-card, and insert it in the reader in my PC. 
3. using Lucid now, this bug dates back to 2008

for what it is worth: I will test my old D80, and D90

D90: not recognized at all
D80: not recognized at all, both in MTP/PTP and in Mass-storage mode.

Wow.... surprise. I guess something is stuck with USB, altough my ebook did just function this afternoon on the same cable.
I do attach part of syslog.

Fspot reports error for importing Nikon D80

Status in Personal photo management for the GNOME desktop: Unknown
Status in “f-spot” package in Ubuntu: Triaged

Bug description:
Binary package hint: f-spot

The automatic importing from F-spot 0.4.1 does not work with my Nikon D80 firmware 1.10 (jan '08) This firmware enables MTP/PTP protocol and Vista compliance. 
F-spot first displays a window camera selection:

Nikon DSC D80 (PTP mode) port USB:
Nikon DSC D80 (PTP mode) port USB:006,010 (last number incrementing with connection of camera)

When I choose either of these, I get:

Error connecting to camera
received error 'unspecified error' while connecting to camera.

Gthumb is able to download the images correctly with the same camera-setting (MTP/PTP) but the preference of Ubuntu is to start F-spot when connecting a camera.
