I use gnome, but have no camera so I can't give specific advise. But in |
| 8 |
general I try to get behind the gui by starting an app (like gphoto2) from |
| 9 |
a command prompt to see what error messages it may print. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Some gui apps may have an optional flag like -v or --debug that will print |
| 12 |
more messages. (Or start it as "strace gphoto2" for even more fun.) |

I've never actually found a use for the various gvfs commandline apps, like |
| 15 |
gvfs-info et al, but you might be able to use them for debugging this puzzle. |
| 16 |
Worth fiddling with them, anyway. |

I've noticed several times that the gentoo-stable gnome is running mismatched |
| 19 |
versions of gnome apps, and if I just wait long enough the right version of |
| 20 |
something-or-other will be installed and something broken will start working |
| 21 |
again. The ~ version of gnome actually has fewer problems that way than the |
| 22 |
stable version. |
