Public bug reported: this has happened for the last few versions of (x)ubuntu, still exists in 12.04.
gphoto2 talks to canon 40D over USB in PTP mode. Most things work, but "delete file" (-d) or any command leading to a delete (eg --capture- image-and-upload) will fail catastrophically: * the operation does not wok * gphoto2 will not work again * weirdly my wifi USB card stops working and won't be coaxed back into life without a reboot. I get the same problem deleting a file on the camera using gphotofs Today I found a fix -- fetched libgphoto2-2.4.14 and gphoto2-2.4.14 from sources and compiled (against libusb-1.0.0) and I can cheerfully delete files without destroying my network. I don't understand the procedures involved, but can we please get this version of libgphoto2 into (x)ubuntu? thanks ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gphoto2 2.4.11-2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.39-generic 3.2.16 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Jun 5 11:04:20 2012 InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gphoto2 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-05-14 (21 days ago) ** Affects: gphoto2 Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: libgphoto Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: libgphoto2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008933 Title: gphoto2 brings down network card on camera file deletion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gphoto2/+bug/1008933/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
