The situation got worse with 17.04 ubuntu. The unmount trick doesn't work anymore and the camera/phone is left in strange status. I get "Can't lock camera. Unspecified error (-1)" If I unmount. I had to kill the gvfs process to be able access.
After killing /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-mtp I got it working. but that's not the solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to shotwell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400470 Title: cannot download photos using shotwell via usb To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/1400470/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
