[Digikam-users] problem connecting with Canon Powershot

[N Fuller]

Running Digikam 1.0.0-beta5 on my new Ubuntu 9.0 distribution, but can 
no longer download from my Canon Powershot A 710S, as I could without 
any problem when I was running digiKam 0.6.2 on my old Mandrake 10.1.

Keep getting error messages like "error connecting to camera"  "could 
not lock the device"  "connection failed" "failed to connect to 
camera".  I'm using my camera's cable connected to the USB port as 
before, and have tried to list the camera as USB class camera, and as 
auto-detect, with no success.

BTW I can download the pix in my old distribution and version of 
digiKam, and then move them over to the new digiKam and work with them 
just fine, so it seems to be a problem connecting with my camera.

Help?
