This ID cannot be right, 0xc45 is not the Canon vendor id.

Ciao, Marcus

If libgphoto2 works with this camera, and the device permission was the only problem, this should be fixed in Hardy. Can you please verify with a current live CD?

I confirm this behavior with ID 04a9:3117 Canon, Inc. PowerShot A700. My camera was automatically mounted with gvfs with previous Hardy alpha versions and worked like a charm. In Gutsy, a f-spot import wizard did appear. Now with Hardy beta, nothing happens.

I noticed that 45-libgphoto.rules udev rule is missing on my freshly installed Hardy beta.

Martin Pitt : Can I provide additional informations that can help around that regression?

That's deliberate, it's not necessary any more. In Hardy, there was a
recent regression which broke cameras (bug 205417). Can you please try
again with most recent hal and libgphoto?

Fixed with recent hal and libgphoto for my Canon PowerShot. However, my camera does not appear on the Desktop, only in "My Computer". The icon appears on the Desktop only once I clicked on my camera in "My Computer", Thanks!

Hm, that means that you use a mass-storage capable camera (i. e. looks like an USB stick), and it was not automatically mounted. After you plug in your camera, can you please do "lshal > /tmp/hal.txt" and attach /tmp/hal.txt here?

The Canon PowerShot A700 is a PTP camera (not USB Mass Storage camera). When I click on the camera, the Gnome URL become "gphoto2://[usb:007,004]/". The bug is reproducible, the camera never appears on the Desktop when it is connected but only when I click on the camera through "My Computer". Hope this helps.

Saivann: Ah, you are using the gvfs gphoto plugin? We don't support that yet, and either way, the hal output looks fine. Closing again.

Oh.. right. Sorry I thought that it was a part of the default installation. Thanks for your work.
