Yikes. Those gnomies do love complexity. I know why our ways parted
long ago.
yes, among the many other assumptions. i'm afraid though
that some of these things creep into MATE in time. :(
You might try disabling gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor.service and see
what changes (possibly you can't access the camera at all, but who
knows).
disabling or masking. i do that along with a few other
things that i don't use or care about.
In any case put pebbles along the way so you can find your way back.
Perhaps someone with more clue chimes in.
Me? I just tell the camera to present a file system, mount it (yes,
manually) on /mnt and do a rsync. It's so much easier than all this
ritual dances that it's not even funny.
yes. someone else downthread says to remove the gphoto2
package but that is useful, i just don't want it automatically
engaged until i specifically ask for it.
