I have a Canon 20D and seem to have the exact same problem. I've tried connecting the camera via usb (normal, not PTP, mode) on 3 computers:
- Laptop 1 with Ubuntu 12.04 - Laptop 2 with Ubuntu 12.04 - Desktop with Ubuntu 10.10 On both Ubuntu 12.04 machines, in Nautilus: 1) I can open the [Camera]/DCIM directory; 2) When I try to open a xxxCanon directory the computer will freeze, hard drive will start to be hammered and will stay like that indefinitely I'm currently reporting this on my desktop with 10.10 *while* importing the pictures from the exact same camera and usb cable. It's importing without any problems or hickups. How can I help you guys figure this out? It's a blocker bug for using the computer with the camera. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995886 Title: browse/import photos from camera broken in 12.04 Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04 gvfs-backends: Installed: 1.12.1-0ubuntu1 I have a Canon A20. Camera is detected OK, can display directories. But when I try to enter the directory with photos in it, the window stops responding and process gvsfd-gphoto2 starts continuously increasing its memory usage until I turn the camera off or kill the process. This problem has been repeated on several different machines. Camera and photo browsing works no problem in 11.10.
