We do not have heard of the SX730HS, you are the first reporter.

This looks promising.

Also that "Canon EOS Capture 2" is available looks promising.

Can you report the USB ids? (use "lsusb")

Is this libgphoto2 2.5.23? If not, please update.

General Note of caution though: That capture for recent PowerShots is
available is very probably not even wanted by Canon (just due to some
firmware code reuse), it is not supported or tested by them.

So so far it is always flakey at best.
