Since last kernel updates my Canon 40D doesn't work anymore

[elect86]

Describe the bug

I was used to get my Canon EOS 40D working as webcam but since the last kernel updates, right now being

Linux 5800x 5.13.0-28-generic #31-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 13 17:41:06 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

it doesn't work anymore

Name the camera

Canon EOS 40D (PTP mode) usb:001,017

libgphoto2 and gphoto2 version

gphoto2 2.5.27
gphoto2 2.5.27 gcc, popt(m), exif, cdk, aa, jpeg, readline
libgphoto2 2.5.27 standard camlibs, gcc, ltdl, EXIF
libgphoto2_port 0.12.0 iolibs: disk ptpip serial usb1 usbdiskdirect usbscsi, gcc, ltdl, EXIF, USB, serial without locking

To Reproduce

This is my workflow

kill all gphoto processes:
ps aux | grep gphoto
load the module:
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback exclusive_caps=1 max_buffers=2
and get the stream:
gphoto2 --stdout --capture-movie | ffmpeg -i - -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -threads 0 -f v4l2 /dev/video0

"could not claim usb device" usually means another process is blocking the camera, likely gvfs

try
gio mount -s gphoto2

or moving away the gphoto2 gvfs parts

it's interesting to mention that after running the above gphoto2 command, the camera menu icon and notification popup again, like if I had just connected it..

or moving away the gphoto2 gvfs parts

What do you mean, sorry?

[elect86]

Found the problem, it was one of my old phones connected for charging

elect@5800x:~$ gphoto2 --auto-detect
Model Port

---

Google Inc Nexus/Pixel (MTP) usb:003,004
Canon EOS 40D (PTP mode) usb:003,007

as soon as I disconnected it, it worked again

[msmeissn]

good to hear. thanks :)

[elect86]

I still have this though.

Any idea?
