I thought I would add my 2 cents to this frustrating mess called gphoto2. Like many others I have suffered through many releases with broken digital camera import support. In Lucid. I cannot even gphoto2 -l or gphoto2 -P my photos! Which I used to do most of the time under Karmic. I have gone through the suggestion in the bug reports to see if anything would work and nothing has thus far to rid the "Locked Device" on Lucid.

I have a Kodak DX7590... both gphoto2 --auto-detect, lsusb, and gnome-devices recognize the device. I notice though that there is no folder within /.gvfs to indicate the camera was mounted... this is proven by the fact that gvfs-mount - u complain "Error finding enclosing mount: Containing mount does not exist"

I am at a loss as to how Canonical or Upstreams would let this drag out over so many releases.
