Please describe the problem: Since upgrading to libphoto2-2 and libphoto-port0 version 2.3.0, My ubuntu 6.10 installation will not download pictures from my Kodak EasyShare CX7330 digital camera. I receive this error message: An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not claim the USB device'): Could not claim interface 0 (Operation not permitted). Make sure no other program or kernel module (such as sdc2xx, stv680, spca50x) is using the device and you have read/write access to the device. When i downgrade the libphoto2-2 and libphoto-port0 versions to 2.2.1 everything works again. Specs: ubuntu 6.10 kernel 2.6.17-11-generic gnome version 2.16.1 Kodak EasyShare CX7330 digital camera Steps to reproduce: 1. Attach a Kodak EasyShare CX7330 digital camera to a PC via USB cable 2. Power on the camera 3. Click import Actual results: The Error message appears. import never happens, Expected results: A form showing thumbnails and saving options show appear. Does this happen every time? yes. until the libphoto2-2 and libphoto-port0 version 2.3.0, packages are downgraded Other information: This error also occurs in KDE with DigiKam.
This is either a permissions problem (does it work as root?) or a libgphoto problem. If it is a libgphoto problem please report it to the libgphoto developers at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=8874&atid=108874. This isn't a gthumb bug (or a blocker bug). - Mike
