After upgrade to current, kde problems, camera won't display in dolphin


I recently upgraded from 14.0 to current, and I've had a couple of issues with kde. I upgraded as I always do by following the instructions in UPGRADE.TXT and CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT. The only difference is that I upgraded to current. In the past I've always upgraded from one release to the next. Are there extra considerations for upgrading from a previous release to current, beyond what applies to upgrading from one release to the next?

When I connect my camera to a USB port, I get the pop up notification in KDE that gives me the options of downloading the images with Gwenview or opening with file manager. I normally do the latter, but since my upgrade, neither one works.

For the file manager, I get a Dolphin window for "camera:", but no folders appear. Reloading doesn't help.

In syslog, I see what look like normal messages when I plug in the camera, although I'm not sure what the mtp probe messages are referring to.

Code:
May 28 10:25:03 ixian1 kernel: [318869.056056] usb 1-2: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci

May 28 10:25:03 ixian1 mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 4 was not an MTP device
I don't see anything in syslog.

In dmesg, I see messages like these... This is from several connect/disconnects of the camera.

What else can I check to look for problems, or what else can I try?

Upgrading from 14.0 to -current is not a good idea. You've skipped over 14.1

My thought was that current was built on the base of 14.1, so it would be equivalent to upgrading first to 14.1, then installing all packages since 14.1 on top of that. Is that not how it works?


Code:
root@ixian1:/dev/bus/usb# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 04cb:0280 Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd 

root@ixian1:/dev/bus/usb/001# ls -al
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root        80 May 28 18:25 .

If I open a terminal, su to root, then enter "dolphin camera:/", it works. I can access all the folders and files in the camera storage. If I do the same as a non-privileged user, I get the blank dolphin window that shows nothing. Perhaps there is a permission problem somewhere?

"gphoto2 --summary" works correctly as regular and root user.

"kcmshell4 kamera" works correctly as regular and root user.

Found this bug report. I guess this is for ubuntu.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...n/+bug/1256591

Someone found that if you open a terminal (as normal user) and run kdeinit4, then you can plug in your camera, open it in dolphin, and all is well.

I confirm that it works properly if you run kdeinit4 in a terminal before connecting your camera.
