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

[Michael Mess]

I have the same issue with a "KODAK EASYSHARE MINI Camera M200" camera
on ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS (Lucid Lynx).

Accessing with nautilus sometimes works, but then copying all photos to hard disk will result in a hang after some files have been copied slowly with some bursts where speed is high, later showing an error that the copy failed.
Then the camera needs to be disconnected and reconnected first, before it can be accessed again.

Why the connection is so unreliable?

When the camera is mounted, df doesn't show the mounted directory.
Is it not possible to access it like a USB hard drive and then use shell commands to copy/move files?

  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.
