Package: libgphoto2-2
Version: 2.1.6-6
Severity: normal
The fix:
Downgrading libgphoto2-2 from 2.1.6-6 to 2.1.6-5.3 and
libgphoto2-port0 from 2.1.6-6 to 2.1.6-5.3 or simply changing
/etc/hotplug/usb/libgphoto2
More details:
SUCCESS WITH THE OLD VERSION:
With the old versions 2.1.6-5.3 it's enough to plug in the Olympus
camera to the machine (Powerbook G4) via the USB connector. After
being plugged in I'm getting asked by some menu on the camera to
select either "PC", "Print", or "Exit". I choose "PC", and Gnome (or
whatever) mounts the camera without my intervention, and the icon for
the mounted camera also appears on the desktop automatically. I'm
getting asked then by a Gnome window [excerpt]: "Import photos from
device?" I answer, IIRC,"Cancel" and everything is fine.

FAIL WITH THE NEW VERSION:
Now with 2.1.6-6 /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 is created automatically as
soon as I plug in the camera to the machine and after choosing "PC" on
the camera menu. And I can mount the camera manually then. But other
than with 2.1.6-5.3 this time the camera is not mounted automatically:
..xsession (below) says: "Error: invalid file system name ''" for this
moment. So perhaps this might be the key for the problem:
Here's some /var/log/syslog for this moment

********* THE FIX FOR 2.1.6-5.3: *********
I changed /etc/hotplug/usb/libgphoto2, i.e. I commented out the part
"for recent udev versions":

------------------------------------------------
udev version for all the tests above, IIRC:
0.076-6.
Later on I upgraded to udev 0.079-1, which didn't change anything
concerning the automatic mount, at least AFAICS. Or at least until now
I didn't see the changes being relevant for the mounting procedure
between the old version to the one being installed now ...
HTH
Thanks a lot for your work, and for your time.
And to everyone out there a HAPPY 2006 ... :)
And given this bug-report where at least some work-around is shipped
with the report, I'm confident that for the Debian folks this New Year
will be a very successful one ... :)
Again: Thanks.
Best Regards
Wolfgang
