The problem appears to be related to the user's authorization level. I get the same error with my Canon A70 but not when I start Digikam as /root!
Method: Open a Konsole window and type "sudo digikam" (without the quotes). Agree to all the prompts, etc. and Digikam will operate as expected. Downloaded photos will, by default, be in the directory /root/Pictures/... Move them (as root) to where you want! -- kamera detection does not work https://launchpad.net/bugs/35490 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
