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,

Firstly, I don't use Gnome and our cameras are different. This may not
matter for your setup but thought it worth checking into. I have this
for my Canon in make.conf:
CAMERAS="canon ptp2"
I use the ptp2 and most likely need to remove the other but you may need
to set yours to something that your camera uses. CAMERAS="ptp2" just
may work.
Usually a emerge -pv <package> will show the options available. It does
here anyway.
Hope that helps.
