It's a bug report about your problem, but there is also the solution. Thanks

Hi Massimo, I am using a Canon Powershot A80
and what I found at the link you provided was too
technical for me to understand--seems like there's
obviously useful code there but I'm not sure where to begin.

Would appreciate a more explicit fix.

Thx

Ok, to solve your problem do:

1) plugin your camera

2) open a shell and do

$: lsusb

3) Post the result of this command. Thanks

Now, open a shell and do:

$: sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libgphoto2.rules

and add this line:

SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="309a", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"

Save and exit to the editor and after i a shell do:

$: sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

Plugin the camera. Let me know thanks

Hi M....

Not sure if I did what you asked in the right order because I didn't
understand:

"Save and exit to the editor and after i a shell do:"

1. What do you mean by "save" - how do you save a terminal session?
     Isn't it automatically just part of working in the command line?

2. I don't know what this means at all:
    "and exit to the editor"

3. Does this: "and after i a shell do"
    mean to open a new terminal and
    then add... something else?

Check the attachments and you'll see what my results were.
At one point, a "Gedit" text editor window opened up and
gave me a lot (!) of text.

Thx

Ok.

1) open a shell and do this command

2) $: sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libgphoto2.rules

3) this command open a file in which there are some info. Go to the end and add this line (you can copy it into yhe end of your file)

4) SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="309a", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"

5) now click on file --> save this overwrite your old file with the new we have changed. Now you cna close the gedit program (this a text editor)

6) you are now in a shell and you can do this other command:

7) $: sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

8) this command restart the udev daemon. After you are able to disconect and riconect your camera. Thanks
