While playing with kdebugdialog and testing various things i found a workaround:
if i run "kdeinit4" in a konsole as user everything works fine. once run, the konsole can be closed and dolphin is able to correctly load the url camera:/ only with user rights. Perhaps that helps to identify the location of the bug in Kubuntu 13.10. By the way, the console output with kdebugdialog enabled gave the follwing error: dolphin(4969)/kio (KIOJob) KIO::SlaveInterface::dispatch: error 151 "Bad parameters" dolphin(4969)/kio (KIOJob) KIO::TransferJob::slotFinished: KUrl("camera:/") But this error doesn't seem to be the reason why dolphin can't see the camera. After running kdeinit4 the error 151 still appears although dolphin now shows the camera. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256591 Title: The system is unable to read from a PTP camera.
