Google shows this could be a problem on Ubuntu 9.10. *Are you using
9.10? *If so have you made sure the system is up to date? *If so then
it might be worth looking through

I know this is a little off topic, but you people have helped me
immensely in the past, so I want to wish the best of the new year to all
of you.

Hi!
I have tried to control a Nikon D40 using the gphoto2 application as
shown at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KLIGlc3tS0 but without success.
Gphoto2 says Error-6, the camera doesn't support the capture function.
Cheers,
Matthias
Happy new year!
