I can access my GoPro camera via the GUI when it's plugged in to my Fedora laptop - it appears as StillImage (under Devices), but I don't seem to be able to access it via the command line. Pressing CTRL+L gives the location as "gphoto2://[usb:003,023]/". However, typing ls gphoto2://[usb:003,023]/ in a terminal returns:

ls: cannot access gphoto2://[usb:003,023]/: No such file or directory

Any suggestions?

  • Did you install a new firmware ? I've recently lost the ability to mount a gopro 3+ silver in linux. It shows up as a USB device in lsusb, but not as a scsi storage device, like it used to. – Criggie Sep 26 '15 at 08:51

Those “StillImage” devices are mounted by GVfs. You will usually find such devices mounted under $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs where $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is typically /run/user/$UID. For example, I see my GoPro camera mounted here:

/run/user/1000/gvfs/gphoto2:host=%5Busb%3A002%2C004%5D

If $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR should not be set for you for some reason, you could also try to find the GVfs mount location with grep gvfs /etc/mtab which yields the following for me:

gvfsd-fuse /run/user/1000/gvfs fuse.gvfsd-fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,user=chriki 0 0
