I compiled libgphoto2 but wasn't smart enough to get gthumb compiled with photo-import enabled because it didn't recognise libgphoto2 I had compiled from svn and installed with checkinstall.
I reinstalled libgphoto2 and gthumb from the official repos and found that in digikam and gtkam the photo-import worked right away. So I'll be using these programs for the import of photos. I don't understand anything about libgphoto2. So I might be on the wrong track here. But when I plug the camera in and the command "gnome-volume- manager-gthumb %h" gets executed gthumb looks in the directory /usr/lib/libgphoto2/2.2.1 for a camera driver. In the directory I can see two drivers for my Ricoh camera: ricoh.so ricoh_g3.so When I run the program "/usr/lib/libgphoto2/print-camera-list human- readable" it says that the driver for the "Caplio G4" is "ricoh_g3.so" listed. Strange that gthumb doesn't find it or can't use it. -- "Could not claim the IO device": Canon IXUS 65, Edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/64146 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
