For those users who still can't get their camera recognized by Ubuntu 8.10, as the forum post describes, there is a work-around, as long as your camera uses a removable SD card, which many do. If you obtain a USB-SD card reader, remove the SD card from the camera and insert teh SD card in USB-SD card reader then Ubuntu will interpret the reader as a 'generic USB device' and the photos can be copied from the SD card.
While inconvenient, SD card readers are available at most computer shops for under $5, or come free with the SD card in some cases. I wouldn't consider this suggestion a fix or a replacement for solving this bug, but it might reduce the urgency for some users who need to get their photos off their camera right away. If your camera has only a fixed memory instead of an SD card then this won't help. -- Ubuntu 8.10 can't mount digital camera https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285682 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
