Fixed camera import problem

For some time, I had trouble connecting my digital camera (for the record, it’s a Canon PowerShot 430) to my Thinkpad laptop running Ubuntu Edgy Eft. The error message was

An error occurred in the io-library (’Could not claim the USB device’): Could not claim interface 0 (Operation not permitted). Make sure no other program or kernel module (such as sdc2xx, stv680, spca50x) is using the device and you have read/write access to the device.

A quick internet search threw up this page which gives instruction on how to resolve the problem:
