latest libgphoto2 - problem with canon camera

rztka · 2006-04-14 07:09:25

hi after libgphoto2 upgrade, f-spot/gtkam/gphoto cannot get a connection with my camera (canon powershot a75)... downgrade to previous version of libgphoto2 package fixed the problem...
should i submit a bug or something? (i'm a newbie to this but i would like to help - what should i do in such situation?)

thanks,
tereza

pressh · 2006-04-14 07:45:49

rztka, can you rebuild libgphoto2 through abs and removing the gphoto2-2.1.99-canon_segv.patch patch. I just got it in the package as libghpoto2 does have problems with other canon cameras, but maybe it is giving problems to your camera ?
It might as well be a problem in the new libgphoto2 version, which needs another patch for your camera?

Also what exact errors do you get ? (preferebly use gphoto to get errors)

[edit] can you also try it as root. thanks

pressh · 2006-04-14 13:42:38

My guess after all is that you have an empty gphoto.rules file ?
I submitted a bug about that.

rztka · 2006-04-14 15:31:11

normally i use f-spot, i just installed gphoto to see if the problem is with f-spot or with something else - i'm not familiar with gphoto but i tried to auto-detect camera as root and this works. then i made directory called photo, cd to it and run:
env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --get-all-files

i got lots of these: (reading data from camera?camera was blinking..)

so maybe some problem with priviledges?
i wish i know what all this means

my gphoto.rules is not empty, there are two lines:
SUBSYSTEM!="usb_device", ACTION!="add", GOTO="libgphoto_rules_end"
LABEL="libgphoto_rules_end"

and you suggest to remove the .patch file and rebuild the libgphoto2 package right? i will try it...

hmmm i'm not sure how to do this.. :oops:

well i found something on internet about libgphoto2 and the problem with canon cameras, including my Power Shot A75 (they are detected only when running gphoto as root and so on.. it seems like the problem i have) and about the patch... so the problem with the latest package must be the patch, right? the previous one works so i guess i will stick with that and wait for another upgrade.. what do you think?

and thanks for your help pressh!

I also have problems to access my canon digital camera (Powershot A20).
I tried the suggested patch in this thread but no result.

The camera worked fine before with the 3 udev lines mentionned elsewhere in the forum.

gphoto2 is unable to find any camera devices. When looking around in my system to see if the usb device was actually detected, I got confused :?

In 'cat /proc/bus/usb/devices' I find the camera device :

T:  Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#=  6 Spd=12  MxCh= 0

E:  Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=  64 Ivl=96ms

but the lsusb command doesn't show the camera :

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c00c Logitech, Inc. Optical Wheel Mouse
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0451:1020 Texas Instruments, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

What is the difference between both, and which one should I take into account?

btw The updated libgphoto package didn't solve the problem either.

Hello, I had working digikam with EOS 350D until 03th of april (this was last time it worked). Then I made some package upgrades and now it does not work.
It does not connect, and cannot detect the camera. gtkam, however, works fine.
I am getting following output from gphoto2:

# gphoto2 --auto-detect
Model                          Port

Sorry for answering myself. I downgraded libgphoto from 2.1.99 to 2.1.6 and digikam started to work. So I guess digikam-0.8.1 should depend on libgphoto2-2.1.6.

Well, I suppose I can downgrade, but I really hate to manually manage packages.

Any news as to when this will get fixed...

you could put libgphoto in IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf.
Anyway i just updated libgphoto and i have always needed to use root; i just assumed it was necessary.

So I sat up a sudo "rule" like:
%users localhostdude=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/gtkam
which work great, and then I can just sudo gtkam to get to my pictures.

oh and i have a canon powershot S80

Well, it worked before the last update as it should; so a normal user could access the devices (Either in the camera group, or if you followed the Wiki, the users group).

I have never needed Root to access my camera (Sony Mavica). I prefer to NOT use root for day to day activities.

If this is something that is not going to get fixed, then I will manage the libgphoto2 software (I have not seen any more from the package maintainers on this) but I, and others I'm sure, would prefer the package to be fixed as it was.

sebcactus · 2006-04-19 14:32:44

A /etc/udev/rules.d/gphoto.rules with only two lines is considered as empty (you don't have any rules). Normally, there are plenty of lines for many cameras.

Mine (Canon G3) for example is:

SUBSYSTEM!="usb_device", ACTION!="add", GOTO="libgphoto_rules_end"
# Canon PowerShot G3 (PTP mode)
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="306f", GROUP="camera"
LABEL="libgphoto_rules_end"

You can find the information (the SYSFS{idProduct} and SYSFS{idVendor} of your camera using

udevinfo -a -p  /bus/usb/devices/usb2/2-1/2-1.1

To get the right usb numbers, you can plug your camera and use

sudo cat /var/log/messages.log

Edit: you can also get a right gphoto.rules file from ABS according to
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=20662

Hope it helps

The empty gphoto.rules file was a bug and has been corrected in the latest version.

EmbraceThePenguin · 2006-04-19 15:14:10

I installed the new version after a system rebuild last night and have the -2 version of libgphoto2, however, I am still having the same issue.

I can see the camera in dmesg, but no permission changes in the usb filesystem and I cant see the camera in Digikam.

Where else can I look here to get this fixed?

Thanks!!!

Joe

sebcactus · 2006-04-20 14:08:17

Is your /etc/rules.d/gphoto.rules full ?

EmbraceThePenguin · 2006-04-20 14:15:46

marmotte wrote:

Yeah, they are full...

For an update,

I was e-mailing tpowa last night, and he found out what the issue was...

Basically, he made some patches for libusb that changed the permissions to /dev/usb/xxx, instead of /prob/usb/xxx (Where Digikam likes them to be).

So, it appears to be a config/patch issue and not something with the software. However, Digikam might need to be rebuilt, not sure. I am still waiting to hear back from him after troubleshooting some stuff last night.

Thanks!!!

Dieter · 2006-04-22 08:38:30

libgphoto2 ist back to 2.1.6-6 here, but I still cannot access my Canon A40 with digikam. Which additional steps are needed to enable image downloading from the camera with digikam again?

The access to the camera is needed for work; no card reader and no Windows OS is installed (perhaps I can try with the Arch64 on another partition). If I do not get it fixed soon, I will risk trouble with my boss.

TIA, Dieter

jochen · 2006-04-22 09:49:59

Hi Dieter,

did you reboot after reinstalling libgphoto2-2.1.6-6? Also make sure you're member of group audio.

Dieter · 2006-04-22 10:44:23

yes, I rebootet. The user is in group camera (that's what you meant, not audio). The camera is recognized by automatic detection, but connection to the camera for downloading the stored images works only from time to time (sometimes it does, sometimes not).
During the last 5 tries it worked 4 times, one time digikam couldn't connect.

pressh · 2006-04-22 20:23:03

I guess this cannot solely be blamed on libgphoto. libgphoto is just a lib from which applications read how to access the camera. It cannot randomly pick a way to connect to your camera.
There should be something else which makes digikam to choose to connect or not to connect.
You should try to get the output digikam gives when it desides not to connect. Without error messages, logs, etc there is no way one can know what is really going on here.

hey,

is something wrong with the updates?
I keep getting new apps then an older version pops up as a update. For instance, I updated wine-0.9.12 last week and today, the update is wine-0.9.11-1.
same with libgphoto2. I've updated to libgphoto2-2.1.99 and now I see libgphoto2-2.1.6-6 today.
