gphoto2 is giving me the following error messages.  I used it a few

        If you intend to send any error or debug messages to the gphoto

        please run
        gphoto2 as follows:

            env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt
        --get-all-files

        Please make sure there is sufficient quoting around the

Man gphoto2 is not much help or perhaps beyond my comprehension.

Any suggestions appreciated.
I ran into the same problem a few days ago and got around it by starting
gphoto2 as root. I know it's only a temporary solution, but I hope it
works for you, too.

I have the same problem. I found a fix that worked, then probably after one of the updates or for whatever reason it didn't work anymore. Here's the fix anyway:

You must have a file /etc/udev/rules.d/90-libgphoto2.rules

To create one, as root
cd /usr/lib/libgphoto2
./print-camera-list udev-rules version 0.98 mode 666 owner root group users > /etc/udev/rules.d/90-libgphoto2.rules # one line.

I did as you describe and it did create /etc/udev/rules.d/90-libgphoto2.rules.

However I borrowed the camera from my grandson and don't have it to test with now. I was panicing because I wanted the photo of the VIN on a car I need to register and ran out of time to do that yesterday. My daughter extracted the files on her Mac this morning and I made the desired copies.

So it's a non-problem until the next time.

By the way I should have mentioned this computer runs F-7.

Thanks for the help.

This used to work. Now, however, it doesn't anymore. I guess a system can use one of several methods for hot-plug devices, and the fix above is for udev. If I run gthumb-import manually at the prompt, I get this error message:

process 2809: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_path (path)" failed in file dbus-
message.c line 1074.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace


which I is about D-Bus, or maybe it's a problem with gthumb-import using D-Bus. I don't pretend to understand how D-Bus works, and how it interacts with udev, but perhaps the fix should be related to d-bus. Maybe someone can shed some light here.
