This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
Description of problem: On connecting my digital camera (Canon Eos 400D) to a USB port, some gnome apps immediately claim the device and show no indication of how to get them to leave it alone. This problem has been introduced since the Fedora 14 release which worked OK. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Unknown. How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect digital camera to usb port 2a. Observe absence of digital camera icon on desktop. 2b. Run "gphoto2 -P" to download photographs Actual results: 2a: cannot browse photographs in file browser 2b: error message: *** Error *** An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not lock the device'): Camera is already in use. *** Error (-60: 'Could not lock the device') *** The problem can be worked around by locating the device node and killing the processes responsible. For example: $ fuser -v /dev/bus/usb/001/030 USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/bus/usb/001/030: cgb23 4428 F.... gvfs-gphoto2-vo cgb23 5306 F.... rhythmbox I quit rhythmbox, and I don't know what gvfs-gphoto2-vo is, but after "kill 4428", I was able to run gphoto2. Expected results: Gnome and/or its apps do not open the device node, so that other apps can use the device. Gnome does not "own" the device, and it does not need the device node to remain open. Additional info: In the Fedora 14 release, Gnome put an icon on the desktop, and it was possible to unmount the camera from the right-click menu. Restoring this behaviour would be an improvement, but not ideal (see above)
