Public bug reported:
After plugging in a camera, gvfsd-gphoto2 launches and locks the camera.
This prevents gphoto2 from doing its job, since it does not acces the camera
via GVFS/GIO:
Steps to reproduce:
1) Plug in the camera.
2) 'ps x | grep gphoto' shows gvfsd-gphoto2 and/or gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor
running
3) 'gphoto2 --auto-detect --capture-image-and-download' fails with "Error (-60:
'Could not lock the device'"
4) 'killall gvfsd-gphoto2 gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor'
5) rerun (3), and have your picture taken and downloaded.
I don't know if the daemon is only locking the camera as soon as some
process starts accessing it. (well, maybe nautilus does acces it). It
would be great, if it could release the lock as soon as possible, or
(don't know about the locking) don't lock for read-only access.
