I fully agree - please change this bug status back to "valid". Goodness
knows why this bug (yes it is a bug!) has been flagged as not being valid.
Simply plugging a digital camera into a USB port and expecting to be able to
download digital photographs is a routine menial task that any user can
reasonably expect to run without any workarounds.

Please, somebody there at Ubuntu, listen to our please, pay attention to
this BUG!

Thanks
