Digital Camera no longer possible to mount in Filebrowser from Firefox

When ever i wanted to connect my camera (via USB connection), i had to open Firefox to find the device within the filebrowser.

While the device was always invisible in Dolphin, but i had the option to reach the device within Firefox>Filebrowser (in the past). Sadly, since today it is no longer shown there.

Is there another way to find my device and mount it, somehow?

My old device path was:

/run/user/1000/gvfs/gphoto2:host=04cb_USB_PTP_592D323236383513112626853WH51559/DCIM/

But without the option to mount the device, i can only reach
/run/user/1000/gvfs/ and the last folder is empty.

Under Disk and Camera i can do only a camera test, which showed successfully… idk what that test is good for :man_shrugging:

I just ran an update on one of my VM’s - even though I had updated it only a day or two ago.

libgphoto got updated as the only package

Perhaps that is the reason for the trouble?

libgphoto was mentioned just recently in another thread concerning Darktable; perhaps it’s a version issue, if indeed it’s related:

Hopefully,
I just open other Program’s for filebrowsing, i think it has something to do about gtk filebrowsing applications which normally showed my digi cam.

But open other gtk program’s and used the filebrowsing there isn’t working either… right now. It looks to me this isn’t firefox related at least and it is system wide.

There is a new stable update just released now, included:

libgphoto2-2.5.32-2

Maybe i have luck, all i can remember that my cam the last time i had to use it, was around 2month ago in early May.

There was no issue at this time.

Did you try? :nerd_face:

I’d recommend looking at the output of
journalctl -f
(have it running in a terminal and then connect your camera
to see what your system recognizes the camera as)

Perhaps some ingredient is missing - mtp protocol, for example.
But this is just a guess.

pamac search mtp

Candidates are:
gvfs-mtp
libmtp
I don’t know whether they are needed or used in Plasma.

There are a lot of PTP errors in the output you shared above.

… perhaps you changed a setting in your camera?
I do not have one - on Android phones you can select whether you want to transfer pictures or whether you want to choose the file browsing method - and then selecting the proper directory yourself …
I don’t know whether that choice also exists for your camera.

Yeah no success after the update :frowning:

There is nothing to adjust on my camera… all i can do is connect the cam to a USB Port and by default the camera will reload its battery but when pressing Power On button the display change from loading to a USB connection info.

But this little info, there is nothing i can adjust around the camera… its all happening around the OS (Filebrowser) and as i said already, even Dolphin won’t show it in the past… but with the old gtk filebrowsers the device was in the past showing up there and with a simple click it would be mounted and the folders are reach able like files on a USB stick, but with really slow connection.

Is there no Terminal Option to mount the device somehow?
