Digikam running under Ubuntu 11.10

[Gary Pocklington]

I am running Ubuntu v11.10. I have downloaded Digikam v2.1.1 and the
libgphoto2 library functions 2.4.11-3 from the Ubuntu software depository.

I am trying to upload photos from a Canon Powershot G2 camera. I connect
this via the USB port. When I run Digikam and try and import these I
cannot. It says that it has been 'auto detected' but when I choose to
import nothing happens.

It appears as though when the camera is connected via USB, Ubuntu mounts
it. I have tried unmounting but it makes no difference. However, I did
try running gphoto2 from the command line (I believe this uses the same
libgphoto2 functions as Digikam). I was able to see the camera and
upload images from it.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Perhaps someone can suggest
some ideas or solutions?

Thanks

Gary

Yes, the official digikam 2.1.1 packages from Ubuntu 11.10 have disabled the gphoto2 support during build so it doesn't matter if you have installed what's needed.
