Re: new camera - Canon Powershot V1

Hi,

What libgphoto2 / gphoto2 version is this?

gphoto2 --version

What are the USB ids?

To get: lsusb

ALso it looks like the device is just busy using another program, e.g. via =
gvfs ... can you try to disable the gvfs gphoto2 slave
and try again?

Ciao, Marcus
