I've tried importing photos from a Canon PowerShot S45 with Ubuntu 8.10 (Linux ebenezer 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux), but when I plug the camera in, I get the following error:
Unable to mount Canon, Inc. PowerShot S45 PtP Mode Error initializing camera: -1: Unspecified error
lsusb
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 04a9:306d Canon, Inc. PowerShot S45 PtP Mode

[ 112.104122] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
[ 112.269946] usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Any suggestions?
