Were you logged in as yourself when connecting your camera hardware
(whether by cable, or putting a memory card in)?

I've had similar problems, once or twice, when I've switched users, and
found I couldn't read a card.  It would appear that when the thingummy
was plugged in, a device was created for it on the fly, and that device
was owned by a particular user.  If I had disconnected, and waited a bit
more before changing user, it would have worked.  As is had done, since
then.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
