This originates from me trying to figure out why my digital camera doesn't work well with Squeeze (It was absolutely perfect in Lenny) I submitted a couple of bug reports back in february http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612699 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612701
I haven't heard anything so I tried to continue finding a work around for this problem (getting my digital camera to work well with squeeze ie, connect and import photos consistently) When plugging in the camera I got two identical windows popping up telling me that there was a camera attached plus a third that says, "Unable to mount KODAK EasyShare CX7430 Zoom Digital Camera" and "Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device" I tried just using Shotwell but it was icredibly slow compared to gthumb in regards to importing and even accessing the photos on a device, almost to the point where I thought it locked up. I would walk away for awhile and come back and it would be done with whatever it was doing. This makes it impractical to use. Gtuumb is inconsistent in Squeeze though because sometimes it does not display all the contents of the camera. (only those on internal memory card, not the photos on the SD card) I usually have to plug it in and unplug it several times to get it to properly read contents of camera. Once you do that, gthumb is good though. I figured I would remove gthumb and shotwell and install one or the other to see if one would work. I got the same performance as described above. Apt-get seemed to not be bothered by me dong this last night, but this morning it is an issue. autoremove is insisting on removing my whole desktop and... : debtop:/home/steven# apt-get purge shotwell Reading package lists...

The following packages will be REMOVED: shotwell* 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. After this operation, 4,727 kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n Abort. I reinstalled gthumb and also gphoto2 (I was surprised this wasn't installed since on the shotwell website it supposedly needs this to work at all) messed up dependency perhaps?? Sorry for the long message, but I figured with the enough information, someone would know what to do. I guess my main concern now is: 1) How do I get autoremove to back off!? I tried apt-get update and went to synaptic, reloaded and all of the above shows up in "autoremovable" and a really appreciated bonus would be: 2) any suggestions on getting my camera to work with squeeze? It worked perfectly with Lenny. Sincerely, Steven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
