LMDE 201402 MINT Camera glitch

[mike acker]

when I connected my Canon 60D to the computer using the USB cable and switched the camera on -- NEMO didn't respond
connecting the card using an adapter worked but I really don't want to do it that way

[kurotsugi]

it seems that you've succesfully installed LMDE to your system. welcome to our little forum

as for your problem, it's a bug from glibc. the bug have been fixed in debian testing and you'll need to grab the package from there

i'm such a total noob
glibc -- that would be the gnu c library ? so the bug got compiled into something.... ...in the interrupt handler someplace ?

I'm on the RC and notes on this indicate the final dist. will be out in about 2 weeks . I'm thinking it might be best to just wait for the final dist. particularly since the work-around is pretty easy .... ?? ( this is the official question at this point )

my LMDE RC is running very well.... I've got most of my favorite programs running

[kurotsugi]

sorry, it was a typo. the broken package is glib2. there are some modification on the installer and I need some information from your system. please run these command and tell us the result

Code: Select all

inxi -R
dpkg -l | grep glib2
cat /etc/apt/preferences

1. open /etc/apt/conf.d/official-package-repositories.list as root 'sudo gedit /etc/apt/conf.d/official-package-repositories.list'
2. add this line

Code: Select all

deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free

3. run 'sudo apt-get update' followed by 'sudo aptitude install libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-bin libglib2.0-cil libglib2.0-data libpackagekit-glib2-16 libtaglib2.1-cil'.
4. repeat step 1. delete the line on step 2.

[Monsta]

'sudo aptitude install libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-bin libglib2.0-cil libglib2.0-data libpackagekit-glib2-16 libtaglib2.1-cil'.

Is there any reason to upgrade libpackagekit-glib2-16 and libtaglib2.1-cil besides the fact they just been caught by grepping "glib2"?

Also the upgrade of libglib2.0-cil is not needed. It's built from the source package gtk-sharp2, not from the source package glib2.0. In other words, don't rely on grep in such cases.

[Monsta]

It will probably be faster if I write some instructions instead...

1. Add Debian Testing repository to your sources list:

   Code: Select all

   su -c 'echo deb http://http.debian.net/debian testing main contrib non-free > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-testing.list'

2. Update the package index:

   Code: Select all

   apt update

3. Upgrade all glib2.0-related packages:

   Code: Select all

   apt install libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-bin libglib2.0-data

4. Remove Debian Testing repository from your sources list:

   Code: Select all

   sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-testing.list

5. Update the package index once again:

   Code: Select all

   apt update

[py-thon]

I wonder if it works in this case. In my case ( http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 8&t=146167 ) the new packages from testing didn't solve anything.

[mike acker]

ok: all these appeared to execute OK
i have all the data from the terminal if we need to examine it

i tried the camera, but no luck.
so i re-booted my mint.15 system and tried the camera again: ok
next, without touching the usb cable i turned off the camera and re-booted LMDE and tried the camera again. the idea here is to eliminate any problem with the camera or the usb connection
no luck
let me know if you want me to look into any of the output from the above runs. it created a lot of output and i copied it all into gedit.

[Monsta]

Okay, now we at least know it wasn't that known problem in glib, it was something else...

Try this: plug in the camera and look at the output of

Code: Select all

dmesg | tail

and post it here.

[py-thon]

In my case it says

py-thon, now it looks like this bug. Try updating libgphoto2 from Testing.

mike acker, in your case I don't know what to think... maybe someone else will come and advise something.

not a problem: if i load the card into that little card reader it works fine. a simple work-around the only reason i'm concerned is that i'm not sure the Micro-SD socket is intended to be used frequently this way . maybe it's OK, dunno

the new 6D camera has built-in WI-FI -- thus eliminating the need to connect/dis-connect the USB cable.

I think USB connectors are supposed to tolerate a lot of connecting and dis-connecting though.....

[py-thon]

It seems there are no (newer) packages in testing for

apart from libgphoto2-l10n and I don't expect the error to be in the localized messages package.
Even sid has the same libgphoto2-2.

Edit: Do I have to install gphoto2 from sid and libgphoto2-port10 from sid/testing to solve this?

[Monsta]

It's libgphoto2-6 now. You need to either look at the package page or use the source package search to find that out.

Note that according to that info, you also need to install libgphoto2-port10 over libgphoto2-port0.

[py-thon]

Ok, that's what I thought. But I was not sure whether 2-6 would work. Might have been like gnome2 and gnome3. You can't just substitute

[py-thon]

It still doesn't work. But I don't want to take over this thread so I will continue in my own http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 8&t=146167
