USB Storage mode of Sony DSC-w100 camera does not work.

This is the output of "sudo udevmonitor --env" when connecting the Sony DSC-W100 camera to a USB port (hub or directly)

In order to make the comparison with the Sony camera, I did the same thing with a verbatim usb key.

Tested with a ~x86 gentoo: USB Mass storage works ok with the Sony camera.
IMHO USB PTP seems less troublesome for dealing with cameras. Feel free to add the driver to gThumb and close the bug.

I have this camera. The solution is install the new kernel 2.6.20 in your system. It is easy, you have to obtain the kernel in www.kernel.org. Then, you have to compile this kernel (There are a lot how to in the web). Now, I can download the pictures like a pen drive with my sony dsc-w100. There are one problem, you only can download the pictures like a external device (NO with digikam and another similar programs) but It isn't a problem to me. I'm using Kubuntu edgy elf. bye

I have the W100 with 1Gb Memory Stick Pro Duo and the same problem occurs... my doubt before begin to compile the kernel is if the standard config of kernel 2.6.20 is enough to fix it... or if is necessary some specific change at the config.

Thank you in advance for any return!

well............ I don't know. I didn't use specific changes. I only compile
the new kernel without experimental options (to avoid problems). I believe
that you don't any problems, good luck. bye

Thank you for your bug report. Do you still have this issue with the latest release of Ubuntu ?

The bug is gone in feisty.

Thank you, I'm marking this as fixed.
