[Bug 78756] Re: photo import does not work any more

[Martin Pitt]

** Summary changed:

- gnome-volume-manager-gthumb stopped working in Feisty
+ photo import does not work any more

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager
- 
- I'm using Feisty from the repositories.  To access the images on my
- Kodak C533 I just plug its USB plug in and Ubuntu runs (as per System ->
- Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media) "gnome-volume-manager-gthumb
- %h" and I can save my pics easily.
- 
- Today it wouldn't work (it was working last week :).  Running it from
- the command line, here's the output:
- 
- ---
- $ gnome-volume-manager-gthumb %h
- process 23216: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_path (path)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1074.
- This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
- libhal.c 920 : Couldn't allocate D-BUS message
- error: libhal_device_get_property_type: (null): (null)
- hal_get_property.c 178 : INFO: called LIBHAL_FREE_DBUS_ERROR but dbusError was not set.
- ---
- 
- I installed gphoto2 (as another bug wanted to see the output of that)
- and I noticed it suggested gtkam so I installed that too and was able to
- extract my pics fairly easily with the latter. Apologies if this is a
- duplicate of another bug.
+ 'gthumb --import-photos' just hangs indefinitively in some poll() (from
+ strace), and the menu point is grayed out.
