Update: after killing gvfs-photo2-volume-monitor and setting IsNative=true in /usr/share/gvfs/remote-volume-monitors/gphoto2.monitor I can download the preview images but importing still fails with the error. My previous comment was a bit too overhasty.

Result: GIMP (and UFRaw) produce the following error message: Could not mount Canon Digital Camera Error initialising camera: -1: Unspecified error To explain my route to this error within GIMP, I went to FIle -> Open -> Canon Digital Camera, at which point it then hangs, eventually producing the above error within a popup message. The exact same error is produced when trying to select the Canon Digital Camera when using UFRaw. (Related is the fact that the RawTherapee application crashes when trying to select the camera device using its own folder list.) I have searched for a solution of the above, but have only found that this problem may somehow be related to USB 3.0. If so, then this is a problem for me as I only have USB 3 (rather than USB 2) ports on my Asus UX31A. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 (Note I am using XUBUNTU 12.10) apt-cache policy gimp gimp: Installed: 2.8.2-1ubuntu1.1 Candidate: 2.8.2-1ubuntu1.1 Version table: *** 2.8.2-1ubuntu1.1 0 500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.8.2-1ubuntu1 0 500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: gimp 2.8.2-1ubuntu1.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-21.32-generic 3.5.7.1 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-21-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu9 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Dec 31 14:43:21 2012 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-12-12 (18 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.1) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: gimp UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libgphoto/+bug/1094888/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
