I can confirm comment 20. Using KDE 4.11.3 (Kubuntu 13.10) the PTP camera (Canon PowerShot A495) can only be accessed in dolphin as root. As user dolphin shows no files (camera:/). There is no difference between the local install an using the 13.10 live-dvd.
With Kubuntu 12.04 everything works fine (both: local install and live- cd). I have tried the live-cd Xubuntu 13.10: accessing camera works with thunar (shows it as gphoto2://[usb:002,003]/) So back to the local installation of Kubuntu 13.10: after installing XFCE and creating a test user, this user is able to access the camera as normal user with dolphin (camera:/) unter XFCE. -- 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.
