Still happens with

ii f-spot 0.3.5-0ubuntu1 personal photo management application
ii libgphoto2-2 2.3.0-0ubuntu3 gphoto2 digital camera library

We have the same problem here:

Here gphoto2 -P works well too. Its just generating a warning about setting file attributes (which is the same on all systems i use to download photos from that camera):

Maybe important: The import worked without problems on a x86 Notebook (Thinkpad R51) with the same Ubuntu version and the same camera!

Oops, i was confused about the french error message. I guess thats the wrong place for my bug report. Can someone move this comment to a new bug? or delete it and i'll fill a new bug report.

There is a debian bugreport which seams to be exacly my problem: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=439816

This is still happening in Hardy with Nikon D50.
I have f-spot 0.4.2, libgphoto2.4.0-8ubuntu5.

gThumb works fine with the PTP mode.

I get exactly this problem with a Canon D400, on the latest fully patched version of Hardy Herron (7.04).

F-spot version 4.3.1
libgphoto2-2

PS This version of Ubuntu is the best yet for me. Almost everything just worked out of the box!

Seem like this is old tradition, begine new ubuntu relase with this bug. I have this issu on ubuntu 9.04 jaunty amd64.

f-spot version 0.5.0.3-0ubuntu5

I'm getting a crash in f-spot when trying to download the first thumbnail. Looks very similar to what fish reported on 2007-12-16 but I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.1 fully updated. iBook G4 with Canon PowerShot G5. This used to work like a charm before I upgraded from 7.04 Feisty Fawn. Let me know if additional information would be beneficial.

I tried f-spot under an updated Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex install with same laptop (iBook G4) and same camera (Canon PowerShot G5) and it works just fine! I'm not using 8.10 for everyday because it has issues resuming from "Suspend"--pretty important for a travelling laptop. So,
f-spot v0.5.0.3 works
f-spot v0.4.3.1 fails

As 8.04 (Hardy Heron) is a Long-Term Support version and f-spot is the default application when I plug in my camera, I think this fix would be a useful one to backport. (gThumb works like a charm in both releases.)

By the way, how do I set gThumb to be the default application to handle a USB camera? Neither "Preferred Applications" nor "Multimedia Systems Selector" offer to configure this option, and neither gThumb nor f-spot have a preferences setting to become the default USB camera application.

Same problem of PTP "unspecified error" on a new Nikon D300s camera with 8.10 and 9.04 Ubuntu. Some other cameras (Olympus compact) just work, but not this one or, it seems from the above, quite a few SLR models :( Why has this bug not been fixed for 3 years now!?

Recently my D300s "just worked" with F-spot. Maybe due to some kernel patch, anyone else seen an improvement in the last month or two?

No this is STILL BROKEN with 10.04!

Connect a D300s with single CF card and no auto-launch, manually launch F-spot and the camera is listed from the import options, but you get "Unspecified error" dialogue box if you try.
Connect a D300s with both CF and SD cards and it auto-launched F-spot, and you can read the files in, but in the background there is a dialogue box with "Error initialising camera: -60: Could not lock device".

Come on folks, this has been a problems reported for THREE AND A HALF years now and no one has fixed it in any proper sense! I mean, WTF, can't anyone do something about this?

It looks like this is not a F-spot error, but a libgphoto2 one. I tried installing gthumb and it can't read the D300s camera either. It reports "An error occurred in the io-library ('Unspecified error'): No error description available".
What is also interesting is that the trick of having both CF and SD cards installed in the D300s is not a real fix - it allows you to load F-spot when it auto-detects the camera (though you get an error message), but if you don't launch F-spot initially, you can't access the camera by gthumb or by trying F-spot later.

From this bug report:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=108874&aid=3004614&group_id=8874
It appears the problem I am seeing is a basic compatibility issue between applications using libgphoto2 for camera access (such as F-spot), and the gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor daemon. See also the comments here:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gvfs-list/2009-May/msg00001.html

I'm running 10.10 with a Nokon D300s and there are similar problems in Shotwell. I saw some stuff on the kernel-list (wich I didn't fully understand) and dmesg says:

I think we have to search för the solution on a lower level than the applications.

same problems with Nikon DS Coolpix L19 and ubuntu 10.04

by configuring Rhythmbox not to use MTP plugin
Ubuntu bug #557551

but still getting unspecified error from F-spot and gthunb
I can't use gphoto2 because I can't define the folder where the photos exist

A correction to the proceeding:
If I click on the NIKON icon in the file browser or within gthumb I get the "unspecified" error,
but if I merely switch on the camera, eventually F-spot comes up with the pictures on the camera.

However, in order to make this work, first I had to configure Rhythmbox not to use the MTP plugin.
