That's nothing to be concerned about, it simply indicates the lack of color management. Xubuntu does not install any tools for color management by default, since XFCE does not use any.

Do you really want applications to stomp all over ownership, rather than having to make sure applications get access to whatever they need? That does not sound like a world I want to live in. I'm not entirely sure about the "interface 0 claimed by usbfs" message, but it could mean that the camera has been connected as an MTP device rather than PTP, and Digikam wants the latter. Are there any settings on the camera for how it connects over USB, like there are on Android phones? Petter -- "I'm ionized" "Are you sure?"

That seems to be some kind of connector for FTP and shares. I'm not clear how or why it would be useful as it doesn't mention USB or cameras. In any event, the problem is that NO application can connect to the device because something (usbfs?) has "claimed" it and won't let go. ///Peter ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2015 22:39:22 +0000 From: Peter Flynn <<a href="mailto:peter@silmaril.ie">peter@silmaril.ie</a>> To: <a href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Subject: Re: [xubuntu-users] USB camera being intercepted?

OK, that makes sense, but the error message also reveals the problem: "failed to register object: An object is already exported for the interface" Something has stepped in and locked everything else out. > Do you really want applications to stomp all over ownership, rather > than having to make sure applications get access to whatever they need? > That does not sound like a world I want to live in. Not unbidden, but it should be possible to tell an application (with suitable authentication) to break whatever lock some erroneous task has imposed, and free up the device for use. It's precisely because something deep inside the system is currently *not* making sure applications get access to whatever they need. I'm trying to work out why a device known by the system to be a camera with video capability is being prevented from being accessed by the very applications designed to make use of it. > I'm not entirely sure about the "interface 0 claimed by usbfs" message, > but it could mean that the camera has been connected as an MTP device Except that it explicitly says Nov 26 22:13:36 noah mtp-probe: bus: 6, device: 3 was not an MTP device > rather than PTP, and Digikam wants the latter.

AFAIK usbfs is a kernel handler, but the rest of that message could be meaningful.

But I understand that is not what you want. > In any event, the problem is that NO application can connect to the > device because something (usbfs?) has "claimed" it and won't let go.
