OK, this is bizarre. To test default behavior, I restarted the system, logged in, then issued this command in a terminal:
sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/
I did this in order to restore the system to default behavior, disabling the workaround quoted previously in the bug report.
Then I rebooted, logged in, and connected the Kodak C533.
First pop-up was the "error -60" pop-up. Then, two (2!) "you have connected a camera, do you want to open f-spot" pop-ups appeared. I chose to open f-spot, f-spot started, the second "you have connected a camera" pop-up went away on its own, I dismissed the error pop-up, and f-spot was able to talk to the camera just fine.
I then turned the camera off, started a guest session, turned the camera on, and got exactly the same behavior.
For whatever reason, it has gone from "doesn't work at all" to "works with bizarre extra dialogue and scary dialogue behavior".
The only differences between today and last time I tried this are:
a) My daughter was also logged in last time (she had logged in first), and
b) the chmod -x, chmod +x steps done to make things work last time and to test this time.
When my daughter gets home, I will try this again. This is what we will do:
Start the machine. She will log in. She will attempt to connect the camera. She will disconnect the camera. I will log in. I will attempt to connect the camera. I will disconnect the camera. I will log in as guest. I will attempt to connect the camera as guest.
