So, the only issue that I consistently have in Gentoo anymore is that
there exist periods of time (probably coincident with gphoto2 or gvfs
upgrades) wherein I can't automount my PTP digital camera (a Nikon D60,
if it's relevant) and use gthumb to import my photos. I'm able to use
gphoto2 to do so just fine, and so I do, but it bothers me that the way
I'd prefer to do things doesn't work the way I'd like it to. Currently
I'm in a "doesn't work" phase, as you may have surmised.
To make matters worse, when gvfs/nautilus doesn't see the camera at all,
I have no idea at all how to find out what messages might have been sent
where, or why gvfs might not be seeing it, or what-have-you. None of
the usual suspects (dmesg, /var/log/messages, ~/.xsession-errors) have
anything useful. dmesg does at least tell me that I'm seeing the USB
device properly.
Is there a tried-and-true method of at least troubleshooting this sort
of issue, or am I stuck throwing darts at the different gphoto2 and gvfs
builds in portage?
I've attached emerge --info gvfs gphoto2, for the curious.
Thanks,
-Andy
