[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 258083] Re: F-Spot - Error connecting to camera. "Could not lock the device"

[Michael Mess]

I think that the issue is caused by a deadlock somewhere in the driver
for communicating with the camera and not caused by the application
(FSpot, Nautilus) using the connection to the camera.

If I connect the camera, I get asked if I want to start FSpot.

When I ignore the dialog or click "Cancel" and just access with
nautilus, the issue arises after copying some files. Even the preview
won't show all pictures, but it is then still possible to start copying
files and some of them are successfully copied before the copy hangs and
times out.

  I plug in my camera (Canon PowerShot A620).  A dialog pops up "You have just inserted a medium with digital photos..."  I choose "Open F-Spot Photo Manager".  F-Spot opens and an error dialog pops up "Error connecting to camera.  Received error "Could not lock the device" while connecting to the camera."

  I've seen two other tickets about this same problem but they were
  marked as fixed.
