[Bug 240111] New: USB Camera Won't Connect Properly
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=240111 Summary: USB Camera Won't Connect Properly Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ducalen@sympatico.ca QAContact: qa@suse.de When I plug in my USB camera, KDE immediately detects it and brings up the media detection dialog. Regardless of the option chosen (open in new window, browse in gwenview, or open in digikam), the chosen application opens, waits and waits (and waits) but is never able to connect to the camera, and ultimately times-out with no connection made. In the case of manually typing media:/camera in konqueror, KDE eventually responds with an error message "Could not read file Could not lock the device." The corresponding entries in .xession-errors are: kio (KIOConnection): ERROR: Could not write data kio (KIOConnection): ERROR: Could not write data The camera is a Canon A430. The corresponding entry in /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-camera-libgphoto2.fdi is "Canon PowerShot A430 (PTP mode)" Interestingly, HAL seems to do a bottom-up search of this file and chooses the more generic "USB PTP Class Camera" located near the bottom of said file. Simply removing the generic entry results in HAL correctly detecting the camera as a Canon A430. Digikam doesn't have this problem and correctly identifies the camera when requested to auto-detect it, although it cannot download from the camera. See attached output from hwinfo and hal-resmgr (note error messages in hal-resmgr output). For now I'll use a live-CD to download my pics :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
