Previously I used Ubuntu 13 or older versions on my PCs and the Canon IXUS 155 Camera was detected on their USB ports. With Ubuntu 14.04 this is suddenly no longer true.

BTW: My other camera, a Nikon, is still detected easily when I use the same cable. Likewise USB sticks and other USB devices show up when plugged in.

On another PC which I have also updated to UBUNTU 14.04 the same problem occurred.

When I connected the IXUS 155 to another computer with Windows OS there it works. It may not be a problem of the camera I think.

When I started 'lsub' in the terminal and the cam connected I found a Canon device listed.

****-desktop:~$ lsusb

What can I do to solve the problem?

Best regards

Edit: After some trial and error I was able to connect to my camera now and download the pictures using the 'gphoto2' command line interface. (This is just a workaround and not what I really want)

  • Thank you for gphoto2 command line hint; I download files from camera easily with command: gphoto2 --get-all-files . But first I had to kill gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor process.

I could not access my Nikon Coolpix camera after installing Ubuntu 14.04. I opened the Ubuntu Software Center, and downloaded "Camera (camera.app)". It found my camera and downloaded my photos.

  • camera.app worked also for me, but the interface is ugly...
