> Is there a way to stop gvfsd-gphoto2 from respawning? It's started by the volume manager which is started by system-wide defaults for Gnome/Ubuntu systemd user session.
Tell systemd that you want that service to be disabled for your (current) user account: systemctl --user mask gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor And stop it: systemctl --user stop gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor Then you can kill the thing started by it, which does that bloody annoying mount preventing everything else from using the Camera (e.g. in my case, qt / libgphoto2 based Digikam, which I prefer for managing my photos instead of Gnome SW): killall gvfsd-gphoto2 IMHO this is upstream "gfsvd-gphoto2" bug. It should mount i.e. lock the camera USB device only when user starts some application that actually wants to use it (or user has enabled a setting asking it to index photos automatically from random connected camera-like USB devices on background). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388712 Title: gvfsd-gphoto2 locks camera To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/388712/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
