Bug Description

I have Mustek gSmart 300 web cam. It worked fine under Ubuntu 8.04 with the gspca drivers manually compiled and installed. When I plug the cam it beeps showing that it is being recognized by the system. Then It beeps again and I get a window with the following message:

Unable to mount Mustek Systems, Inc. gSmart 300
Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device

After I click OK, there is an icon present at the desktop Mustek Systems, Inc. gSmart 300. by clicking on the icon i can open the location gphoto2://[usb:002,010]/. This probably gives me access to the photo function of the webcam. I can copy pictures from this directory(representing the cams internal memory), but I can't delete them. If I try to delete a picture, I get this message:

Error while deleting.
There was an error deleting Image001.jpg.
Show more details->Not supported

The webcam function is not functioning completely. There is no /dev/video created for it.

Hi! this could be a bug with intrepid kernel, gvfs with gphoto2 backend or gphoto2 itself.

Please add as separate attachments the following debugging output:

Initiate the problem situation, then quickly get the output of dmesg

Output of uname -a

Output of lsb_release -a

Output of lsusb -v

cat /proc/version_signature > version.log

Please execute this command just before connecting the webcam

 /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd -r

and attach as separate file the output from this command when you try to access the folder.

Thanks!

There is also something wrong with the USB cable connecting my webcam to the computer so the duplication of some messages in dmesg might come from that. But the last message

[135979.261677] gspca: disconnect complete

is not because i'm disconnecting the camera by myself. It's what happens after hearing a second beep from the web cam (with the cable still attached).
