I had the same issue, but the glib from saucy proposed fixed it for me as well. Thank you very much.
Btw: I don't know if this problem is related to it, but if I right click in the digital camera folder and select "open in terminal", a terminal pops up quickly and is immediatly closed again. This only occurs in the camera folder, otherwise this feature works. If it doesn't relate to this problem, I will make another bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1217230 Title: [Regression] Can't copy files from digital camera (Operation not supported by backend) Status in GVFS: Invalid Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “glib2.0” source package in Saucy: Confirmed Status in “glib2.0” source package in Trusty: In Progress Status in “gvfs” package in Debian: Fix Released Status in “gvfs” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: [ Description ] Copying from some devices is broken over gvfs [ Test case ] - browse a directory with a .tar.gz, using nautilus - right click on the file, select "open with archive mounter" -> that makes the archive being listed as a mount in the sidebar/unity launcher - browse that mount, find a file to copy in there - try to copy it to your user directory -> if the fix is doing its job, the copy should work without error [ Proposed fix ] Cherry-pick upstream commit 44edc3829d6db3fabe22d837eaaf2638003516c9 to fall back to g_file_query_info if query_info_on_read isn't supported. [ Regression potential ] Adds an extra step into file copying over gvfs. Check all previous gvfs copies still work. [ Original report ] Hello, on Saucy I can't copy files from my digital camera to my PC anymore via file manager. This is a serious regression since it worked on all previous version of Ubuntu since Lucid at least (even earlier versions not tested because I didn't own the camera at that time). It is easy to reproduce: - Start PC from USB stick with current Saucy daily live image - Connect and turn on camera - Open Nautilus, browse the files on the camera, select one of them and right-click -> copy - Now when I try to paste the file into my home directory, I get an error dialog saying copying failed with the reason "Operation not supported by backend" (see attached screenshot) I get the same error message if I try to copy the file on terminal with the command gvfs-copy. However, if I try to copy a file on terminal with the gphoto2 tool, e.g. 'gphoto2 --get-file 1', this works. It also works if I copy files with cp in a terminal from gvfs- mountpoint mounted at /run/user/my_userid/gvfs/my_camera_mountpoint .
