gvfs (shotwell)

[onimatrix81]

Does anybody happen to have Shotwell working with libudev-compat? Mine does not detect any sort of camera. both lsusb and gphoto2 --auto-detect detect the camera (model and all) just fine, so I'm thinking this is most likely because gvfs is confused.

All ideas are welcome :).

Hey @onimatrix81,

Just to confirm--Shotwell was working for you with libudev and udevd?

It might be because the gphoto2 rules for vdevd haven't been written yet. They would generate extra data for the camera's device directory, identifying it as a camera to other programs. Can you run fgrep "ID_GPHOTO2=1" -r /dev/metadata/udev and let me know if it finds anything?

Thanks, and sorry for the late reply (we're gearing up for a summit at work on Saturday, so I'm having a hard time replying on the same day).

Yeah Shotwell worked fine before. That fgrep found nothing. I still got the gphoto udev-rule. The rule for my camera is like this (I think):
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3226", ENV{ID_GPHOTO2}="1", ENV{GPHOTO2_DRIVER}="proprietary", GROUP="plugdev"

Heh, again, don't apologize for having a job =). Vdev'll get there and I don't anybody think it's going to be this instant. I for one removed eudev entriely from my system and nothing seems to be broken. What I think a lot of people are expecting and waiting for (dare I say "deserve"? ;) ) are the damn version numbers! =)
