I am very happy to see that the indi driver for the Canon DSLR in the 3.3.7 release works reliably. The problem I am experiencing now is that when the camera is connected to the RPi, it is automatically mounted as a USB storage device which prevents SM from connecting to it. There is a short window of time after the physical connection is made in which the SM connection can be done. Does anyone know how to prevent the automatic mounting of the camera by the OS? I assume this is a Ubuntu issue.
This issue has been addressed many times om the forum. The solution is to install libgphoto2 from an additional ppa from Jasem. See for instance this comment
