Hi naomi,
I'm sorry to hear you're leaving. If you want to give it another try the
cleanest workaround I've found is to do the following:
1) Open a terminal
2) cd /usr/share/
3) sudo mv gphoto2.monitor ghoto2.monitor.ren
I'm not sure if this will break anything else, but I've been using it on
my system for 6 months and all my USB devices are working fine.
Hope it helps,
David
