[Bug 304193] [NEW] digiKam fails to connect to a previously recognised/registered camera

[Paul Boddie]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: digikam

I experience the following problem, and this actually started when I
upgraded from Kubuntu Feisty to Gutsy. My camera (Fujifilm F31fd) was
previously registered in digiKam, but after having started the
application a few times after the upgrade (which I do by plugging the
camera into the USB port and switching it on, bringing up the choices
dialogue asking whether I want to "detect and download" using digiKam),
I started to get a failure dialogue inviting me to "Retry" or "Abort"
the connection attempt to the camera. Upon retrying, digiKam never
manages to connect to the camera, and opening the camera from the
"Camera" menu gives the same dialogue.

However, if I open the "Add camera..." dialogue, remove the camera from
the list, auto-detect cameras and then open the newly added camera from
the "Camera" menu, the camera can once again be connected and used. The
camera always appears at the "usb:" path and it is the only camera I use
with the computer.

I added the above comment (with minor differences) to the KDE tracker,
but I'm not sure it's an upstream problem. The report is here:
