This was a known problem with the 1.0 beta 5 installation that came with ubuntu 9.10. You should update to the latest version. For ubuntu it's easy, just a<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">dd this PPA and update as normal<br>

Running Digikam 1.0.0-beta5 on my new Ubuntu 9.0 distribution, but can<br>
no longer download from my Canon Powershot A 710S, as I could without<br>
any problem when I was running digiKam 0.6.2 on my old Mandrake 10.1.<br>
<br>
Keep getting error messages like "error connecting to camera" "could<br>
not lock the device" "connection failed" "failed to connect to<br>
camera". I'm using my camera's cable connected to the USB port as<br>
before, and have tried to list the camera as USB class camera, and as<br>
auto-detect, with no success.<br>
<br>
BTW I can download the pix in my old distribution and version of<br>
digiKam, and then move them over to the new digiKam and work with them<br>
just fine, so it seems to be a problem connecting with my camera.<br>
<br>
Help?<br>
