I had a similar problem with a Canon IXUS 500/Powershot S500, it would hang on picture import and I could not get capture to work. My solution was to remove it from the list of cameras that the canon driver would feel responsible for. The PTP2-driver of libgphoto2 would then take over and work perfectly.
I'm attaching the patch that worked for me. Maybe an IXUS 30 would only need a similar patch, removing the lines pertaining to that model. Step by step: - install build-essential and libltdl3-dev - get the source: apt-get source libgphoto2-port0 - patch canon.c - ./configure --disable-nls; make; make install I got errors while compiling, "--disable-nls" fixed that. The new library is installed under /usr/local/lib, I used export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib in order to use it. Good luck. ** Attachment added: "Patching canon.c to not recognize Canon IXUS 500/Powershot S500" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10326864/libgphoto2.patch -- Photo Import from Canon IXUS 30/Powershot SD200 failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
