f-spot not able to connect to camera (solved)

Error connecting to camera

Received error "unspecified error" while conecting to camera

The command line gives the following

[ronald@pressh_box abs]$ f-spot
Starting new FSpot server
/1 - gnome-dev-harddisk - Mountpoint file:///media/disk True True Harddrive
Harddrive
item ImportCommand+SourceItem
Testing gphoto path = usb:

root/non-root makes also no difference.
I rebuilded f-spot 0.1.11 against testing.

[edit] I'll try rebuilding gphoto2 and libgphoto2 too...

No effect.

Moreover, gphoto2 works good, as gtkam is able to connect to the camera.

any ideas ?

Yeah, I hate bumping threads, but I really need this to work 8)

Maybe it's an upstream bug... Try building an older version of f-spot.

Rebuild F-Spot because of ... ?
I run F-Spot *as is* and have no issues connecting my camera.

Because of f-spot is compiled agains dbus/dbus-sharp 0.50, and does therefore not work with testing repo (dbus/dbus-sharp 0.61)

I don't know what the problem is. Even a clean Arch install doesn't fix it. I'll now go and try to build version 0.1.10, which I had working before, and does work on my other partition (fc5 ).
Anyway, as I prefer arch and only use fc as a backup when things in arch stop working, so I need it to work on arch
I'll build 0.1.10 and report back.

btw my camera is a canon ixus 50

well, no luck :shock:

I don't understand, if it was related to dbus/dbus-sharp then gtkam would also not work, correct?
If it was f-spot related, 0.1.10 should have worked, as it was working before.

some other things I might want to try?

Is it okay to submit a bug report, as f-spot is build against another version of dbus so it's not actually a bug (at least I cannot verify) to the f-spot in repo?

First of all, it would be kind to add a note to the topic that this is testing related stuff. I was in believe it is a problem in current.

To speak for myself, I had a bunch of errors using dbus and dbus-sharp from testing, and was not able to solve at least one of them. I could not start gnome (from current) and decided not to use testing stuff these days. I would file a bug report, as using testing is meant to find out bugs. It would be brave to run the whole testing brunch, in case some packages inside testing could help you out. Otherwise it might be a real mess...

Good luck.

so I'm running the testing branch as I'm using gnome2.14 from it. Looks like it would be better for me to just stay with current/extra, as my machine would probably have ran smoother.

About dbus, yes it should be it, as it looks like gtkam is not using it to connect (and works).
I filed a bug report here:

searching a bit around this evening, it seems indeed to be a libgphoto2 bug (not able to connect to canon cameras)
After all it appeared to be a libgphoto2 bug.
I got it working by updating libgphoto2 to version 2.1.99 and applying this patch from fedora:
