PTP Cameras not working on 14.04, works flawlessly on 12.04

For what it's worth, this works on Debian 7.4, both stable and testing.

Thank you for your bug report. Could you run "gvfs-mount -lo", connect your camera and copy the output? Is the camera listed by "gphoto2 --summary"?

Workaround - using gphoto2 command line works...

gphoto2 --get-all-files

Workaround #2:

Install "gphotofs" package.
In terminal - create a folder - e.g. PowerShot:

> mkdir PowerShot

Next turn on camers in view mode, and type:

> gphotofs PowerShot/

Now files are available in file manager/browser (Files).
I could not unmount camera in file manager - so in terminal i typed:

> killall gphotofs

Same problem with Canon PowerShot S90 , I am using Lubuntu 14.04 .

same bug with canon powershot elph 310 HS

Please, if this bug affects you too, go to the "This bug affects me too" link at the top left of the page to increase the likelihood that this bug will be tackled.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same bug in Xubuntu and Ubuntu 14.04 beta 2, using an old Fuji f47 USB PTP camera.
Works fine in Kubuntu 14.04 beta 2.

Same problem with my Canon IXUS300HS.

idVendor=04a9, idProduct=31f7

mount shows:

gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1001/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=myuser)

ls of /run/user/1001 shows:
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? gvfs

The issue could be an upstream one (in gvfs or libgphoto) and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

There is now a bug report at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728205, visit there and confirm.

Same problem with Canon PowerShot D20, worked fine in Ubuntu 13.10 but not in 14.04 stable, clean install.

Console program gphoto2 work fine
gphoto2 -P

Also a problem with Canon Powershot SX20 IS (Ubuntu 14.04 and Xubuntu 14.04).

I'm getting an error : Could not claim USB Device (-53).

Indeed, as suggested by Thomas Rosted, gphoto2 --get-all-files downsloads all the images. (But this is not a workable option for photo-management)

One can use digiKam as a workaround.

I just conformed this issue on Google Nexus 4 the android phone that running CyanogenMod 11. and also can confirm it worked just fine in Ubuntu 13.10.

I can't confirm this bug. It works fine here. I have a Nikon D5100. I plug it in and it just works.

same with Fuji T200. Was working fine with previous Ubuntu versions.

I don't have the time to post logs at the moment but will do later.

Can confirm that this bug affects both of our cameras:

Nikon CoolPix L25

Fuji Finepix AV100

Same problem with kodak C182.

lsusb shows the physical device as present

syslog shows a few lines recognizing the camera, followed by a line stating the device is not a MTP device.

Checked in 2 files regarding gphoto in udev/hwdb and added he C182 there - no difference,

Obviously a flaw in something used now in conjunction with udev. I don't know why it seems to not mount following the MTP error - my novice knowledge thought that MTP was for tablets, MP3 players, etc. - didn't know that included cameras.

Exactly the same diagnostics as #20 (Nishimura) with a Nexus 4.
PTP mode worked OK with 13.10, nothing with 14.04.
MTP mode works OK with the phone appearing in Nautilus.
So images can be transferred from the phone to PC.

Note the difference - MTP rejects mine and it DOES NOT show in Nautilus. I cannot transfer images from the camera (it's camera, not a phone - MTP works with phones, tablets, etc.). I have to take the flash card out of the camera and put it in the computer to transfer images. I haven't tried the work around here with the command line as to me at least that isn't fixing the problem.

Here's a hint: the list of usbid's in the udev rules in /lib/udev/rules/hwdb does not contain my camera's USB identifiers. Similarly the 20-gphoto rule doesn't contain my camera's USB identifiers. I've tried adding them to no result. I suspect there is something behind those rules - some sort of actual database - that doesn't contain my camera's USB identifiers. From there I suspect it then tries probe-mtp - but my camera is not an android type device.

same problem in ubuntu 14.04 with Finepix HS10

Worked under 12.04 LTS OK

little remark on "Workaround #2:" which is find...

instead of "> killall gphotofs " which is a bit brutal :)

> fusermount -u <mountpoint>

Same problem with CANON Powershot A2500.

Workaraound:
Get USB-ID with lsusb.
Copy 20-libgphoto2-6.hwdb and 20-usb-vendor-model.hwdb from /lib/udev/hwdb.d to /etc/udev/hwdb.d (sudo!!).
Add a new dataset in this two files with your USB-ID in /etc/udev/hwdb.d !
Generate a new hwdb.bin in /lib/udev with
   sudo udevadm hwdb --update

Reboot your system.
Now it should work like in 13.10 (shotwell, nautilus).

Proposed work-around in #33 does not work for my Kodak C182.

Same problem with Samsung Galaxy S4 when mounted in Camera (PTP) mode.

#33 also doesn't work for the Canon 255 HS.

When the camera is connected to the usb-port the following is shown in the syslog:

In 14.04 it is no longer possible to use either GPHOTO2 (command line) or Entangle (GUI. using libgphoto) for tethered shooting with my NIKON D5000.

I have been told that the GVFS Volume Monitor is causing the problems.

The problem was there already in 2008, was solved, but seems to be back in 14.04

Did find a good working alternative, using my Android-tablet.

This bug is also affecting Linux Mint 17 Qiana

I have a Canon PowerShot S95 and it is not detected either in Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit. It used to work in previous ubuntu releases. Have to eject the SD-card from the camera and use my laptop to import the pictures and then use a usb-stick to copy them onto my desktop PC.

In previous Ubuntu I just connected the desktop PC USB-cable to the camera and Shotwell popped up automagical.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This can be fixed in either libgphoto2 itself (https://sourceforge.net/p/gphoto/bugs/974/) or in gvfs (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728205). For SRUing, adding back an udev rule for generic PTP support is definitively the easiest thing.

This ought to work, can someone who is affected please confirm? Please copy&paste that into a Terminal:

  echo 'ACTION="add", ENV{ID_USB_INTERFACES}=="*:060101:*", ENV{ID_GPHOTO2}="1", ENV{GPHOTO2_DRIVER}="PTP", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"' | sudo tee /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libgphoto2-6.rules

Then unplug/replug the camera.

This one is more refined, can you try this instead?

  sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libgphoto2-6.rules

and make the file look like this:

--------------- 8< -----------------------
ACTION!="add", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="usb", GOTO="libgphoto2_usb_end"
ENV{ID_USB_INTERFACES}=="", IMPORT{builtin}="usb_id"

LABEL="libgphoto2_rules_end"

--------------- 8< -----------------------

the change in comment #44 makes it work there

For a trusty SRU we'll definitively use the udev rule, which is much less intrusive and better understood.

I uploaded libgphoto2_2.5.4-1ubuntu1 to utopic which should fix this (thanks to Sébastien for testing on IRC). Please confirm that this package version fixes it, then I'll SRU this.

Uploaded to trusty SRU queue.

Comment #44 makes it work like a charm for me on 14.04.

Can you please open a new bug about this? This seems to have a
different root cause than for most general PtP cameras. Please include
the output of lsusb and "udevadm info --export-db". Thanks!

For information: Comment #44 also works with Linux Mint 17 Qiana.

Just tested libgphoto2-6_2.5.3.1-1ubuntu2.1_amd64 from proposed.
rm'd the udev rule I created earlier, installed the package from proposed, noted it created the udev rule and working fine :)

After check libgphoto2-6 installed package and /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libgphoto2-6.rules file it contains:

This is a little different forme #44, by adding 'ACTION="add", ' before last ENV{ID_USB_INTERFACES} rule.

By comment #55, I've filed a new Bug #1329150, for my problem with Motorola XT925.

esodan, by the data in that new bug it sounds like you didn't install the -proposed package.

Was a little too quick in announcing that it worked. Turns out the package doesn't work for me but the fix from #44 does. There is as mentioned in #60 small difference between what the proposed solution installs and the fix from #44, enough to make it not work for me.

Is that bug really verification-failed? A non perfect fix is still better that no fix, we shouldn't block the update on that basis if it doesn't create regressions, we can fix the remaining issues in another update

Argh, silly typo. Uploading corrected fix to utopic.

The ACTION="add" should have been ACTION=="add", but it's now redundant with the first line in the rules anyway. I uploaded an updated SRU to fix this. Sorry about that, and thanks again for testing!

For what it's worth, I solved my problem with the Kodak EasyShare Max X990 with the fix in comment #44, and after a reboot, it auto-detected and appeared in Nemo, and the "disk with photos has been detected, what should I do?" window came up.

Interestingly, it appeared twice in the Devices section of Nemo - one with each of the main two folders (store_00010001 and store_00020001, the first of which is the only one with pictures, the other only has sub-folders containing text files with "SQLite..." in them).

Hi,

I have a 2nd machine with a clean install of 14.04.
I did a full update and verified the bug still exists.
I downloaded and installed https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgphoto2/2.5.3.1-1ubuntu2.2/+build/6106218/+files/libgphoto2-6_2.5.3.1-1ubuntu2.2_amd64.deb via dkpg

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and have a Canon PowerShot SX50HS. Installing https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgphoto2/2.5.3.1-1ubuntu2.2/+build/6106218/+files/libgphoto2-6_2.5.3.1-1ubuntu2.2_amd64.deb has solved the problem for me.

My canon powershot elif 310 HS is now properly detected and am ab le to download photos into shotwell. Thanks for the fix.

After unmounting the device, it is possible to download the photo's by means of Shotwell.
Rapid Photodownloader doesn't work.

I downloaded and installed libgphoto2-6_2.5.3.1-1ubuntu2.2, same as chicobiker in comment #75. My camera is now recognized and can open photos in either nemo file manager or gthumb. This is in Linux Mint 17 Quiana, Cinnamon. My camera is Kodack Easyshare C1013.

I'm running xubuntu 14.04.

Tried adding the deb to sources - fails as not found in apt-get update (used "Trusty").

Tried adding the udev rule - gphoto opens, shows my pictures (it's *REALLY* slow), but then I can't save them, etc., so I removed the rule.

Tried downloading the package, "untar"ing it, then went to the INSTALL document to see if I needed to run configure or just make and make install. It shows the command for running configure, and when I do that I get the following failure.

.
.
. didn't copy all of the output prior to this failure

checking that we can compile and link with libltdl... no
configure: error: cannot compile and link against libltdl
libgphoto2 requires libltdl (the libtool dl* library),
but cannot compile and link against it.
Aborting.

OK, someone said to install ltdl-dev, which then let the configure, make and make install work fine. When I plug my camera in, it still doesn't show. I checked and the rule is not in /lib/udev/rules.d - I thought the package was supposed to install it. Do I need to go back and manually add the udev rule (using "==" instead of "="?) ??

Sorry to be a hassle, but this is one time I desperately need my camera to work today - it's very important (just saying - I know that makes no difference) - and the only PC I have access to is this one running xubuntu.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

For Bernard in comment #76 https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+question/157569 addresses this issue. I encounter this but see it as normal (not necessarily elegant) behaviour.

Additional: I added the udev rule back in as it did not get installed with the download. Still no good. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated. As mentioned way back in my initial post, the camera is Kodak EasyShare C182.

libgphoto2-6_2.5.3.1-1ubuntu2.2_i386.deb update fixes problem with Canon IXUS 115 camera.

Works for me. Thank you.

This bug was fixed in the package libgphoto2 - 2.5.3.1-1ubuntu2.2

---------------
libgphoto2 (2.5.3.1-1ubuntu2.2) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium

  * Add debian/libgphoto2-6.udev: Provide rule for generic "PtP device" to
    unbreak cameras which aren't explicitly known to libgphoto by
    vendor/product ID, until either hwdb or gvfs get fixed properly.

Mounting my android phone with mtp worked flawlessly in 12.04 but not in 14.04. It seems that was not fixed by this change.

Works for my Canon IXUS 300 HS. Thanks!

Installed standard updates yesterday, now it works for my canon powershot a300. Thanks

My camera still isn't able to upload to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It's a Canon Powershot A590 IS. I'll post the info if you want it.

Installed libgphoto2-6 2.5.3.1-1ubuntu2.2 amd64 and still cannot retrieve photos from my Canon PowerShot SX20 IS on Ubuntu 14.04. This worked flawlessly in Ubuntu 12.10. I believe it previously opened in mass storage mode. Now the device shows up, but I don't see any files.

I've switched to 14.10, and for Samsung Galaxy S4 mini camera access is not working.

I've tried pretty much everything I can above. I've checked the #44 above and done it and besides that the packge looked correct anyways before I opened it. The computer was updated fully before trying. It seems this bug is connected to just Canon now as the reports above seem to fix the others.

here is the link to the paste of the command line stuff from the machine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9789752/

the exact model number is the Canon SX20 IS as per Robert above.

version is 14.04 fully up to date on 64 bit machine

Anything else i can do to help you resolve this would be awesome as my mom is not liking using the SD card removal each time. This worked perfectly before the upgrade to 14.04.

Thanks!

I would like to join in by reporting that my Canon PowerShot SX20IS will also not function on the USB for my Lenovo T530 running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit updated. It works fine in my windows vista and xp machines.

lsusb shows
Bus 003 Device 006: ID 04a9:31e4 Canon, Inc.

gtkam reports the proper model is detected but reports "cannot initialize it"

gnome3 automounts it on the desktop which when double clicked the contents are empty.

ls -l /run/user/xxxx/ in part shows:
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? gvfs/

this bug still affects me on 15.04 with a canon sx130is camera
