The USB port has noise on it and appearing to the system as if the device is being plugged-in-out-in etc. Try a different USB port, preferably one as close to motherboard as possible (rear port if on a desktop). Also make sure that you don't connect to a USB hub extender etc. 2. gvfs is getting messed up. Open two terminals. On one enter: $ dmseg | tail Plug in the camera and now do the same on the other terminal ('dmesg | tail'). You should see the usb attempt in the 2nd terminal & it should look something like: [ 4152.176042] usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 [ 4152.477059] usb 1-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice If so, in the 1st terminal window: $ cd ~/.gvfs $ ls and you should see the mount point: <>:~/.gvfs$ ls gphoto2 mount on usb%3A001,007 Now unmount & then turn off the the camera and do ls again & the mountpoint should not be there when you us 'ls' in gvfs. Now go back to the first terminal & do: $ dmesg | tail and you should see where the device disconnected: [ 4926.244210] usb 1-5: USB disconnect, address 7 Note: f-spot doesn't use gvfs to mount, so make sure all insances of f-spot are closed beforehand. </blockquote><div> Yes, I see exactly as how you describe, almost, note yours is using ehci, mine uses uhci usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice and I only see one mountpoint, ~/.gvfs$ ls gphoto2 mount on usb%3A004,002 and usb 4-2: USB disconnect, address 2 so I'm at a loss as to why it pops up multiple times, tried all 3 USB ports (laptop) same with them, removed mains, and disabled wireless with no difference. Thanks </div></div>
