Hi, I'm trying to download some pictures off my camera and I keep getting an error. This used to work at some point although I can't say when. The camera is a Cannon EOS and I plug it in to a USB port and turn it on and I get a dialog box with a title of "Cannon Digital Camera" saying "You have just inserted a medium with digital photos...blah blah...". When I select "open folder" from this drop down list of options it eventually gives me this error message: "The folder contents could not be displayed. Sorry, could not display all the contents of "Cannon Digital Camera": DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. If I select "open digiKam" it appears to do nothing. If I open digiKam first and try to import using what is detects - Cannon EOS 350D (PTP mode) - it never finds anything. The whole time the camera is flashing busy. I don't see anything useful in any of the system logs. Given the error message, I think that something is blocking messages from the camera. I need some help troubleshooting this.

A solution that "just works" has been to load the app SSHdroid - this is launched on the device - it gets an IP address and establishes an SSH service that one can now connect to from your laptop or linux device. Transfer of files etc works so much faster than mtp ever did. Try it - no going back for me.> Thanks, > Steve > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Does the camera have another option for a PC connection? (Cannon doesn't admit to making a model "EOS 350D", so I can't look at a manual myself.) -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.
