Everything is ok except this line. This one is very bad. This shouldn't
happen. Either your flash card is broken (that happens if you just
unplug camera without safely removing/unmounting it in any operating
system) or your USB is boken. I would put my money on flash card in
camera.

By the way, there are two great apps for importing photos. One should
start if mounting went ok (wich didn't in your case). This one is called
gthumb (File -> Import photos) and it's quite nice program. There is
also gtkam (Camera -> Rescan/Add camera). Both work great with my two
cameras. Olympus is mounted via usb storage (this way you can work with
images as with any file; this is how your camera works). Canon works
only with gphoto2 (witch both gtkam and gthumb can use) and it doesn't
mount drive.
