I posted a bug report for gphoto2 here https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=108874&aid=3004614&group_id=8874 and get the reply that the underlying reason is the gnome gvfs-gphoto2 -volume-monitor.
Sure enough, if I attach the D300s I can't open it with F-spot, but on killing gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor it all then works as I can import photos from the PTP mode camera. However, the patch and behaviour mentioned in the gphoto2 forum is not enough to explain why this is camera-specific. Any ideas? ** Bug watch added: SourceForge.net Tracker #3004614 http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=3004614 -- Fspot reports error for importing Nikon D80 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191316 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
