The picasa media detector does detect when the camera is plugged in,
and brings up
picasa. However, nothing else happens. When I click on import and
select device, it only has
two options, "no devices available" (greyed out of course), and
"Folder".
However, f-spot-import does find the device and f-spot is able to
import. Likewise, if I use
gphotofs to mount the camera, I can grab files that way.
I installed picasa from the apt repository
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free
which currently is at version 2.7 Build 37.3615.0
If anyone has any ideas, I'd much appreciate it.

Uh oh, I see this problem with my camera as well. Will investigate.

It works with gphoto2 because you're using the 64-bit version. If you
download and run the 32-bit version, it does not work - can't find any
ports or cameras. Since Picasa is a 32-bit app, it depends on the 32-
bit version of libgphoto2.
Looking through the strace logs, the 32-bit libgphoto is looking in /
usr/lib/libgphoto2_port/0.8.0/ for its libraries, whereas it should be
looking in /usr/lib32/libgphoto2_port/0.8.0/. I'll file a bug with
Ubuntu if there isn't an existing bug report for this.

Thanks for all of the help. I recalled seeing that ubuntu bug before,
and
I was able to fix the problem using the same trick. You link /usr/
lib32
to /usr/l32 and then sed 's/\/usr\/lib\//\/usr\/l32\//g' on
libgphoto2.so.2.3.0
and on libgphoto2_port.so.0.8.0 (you have to use l32 to have the same
number
of letters and not freak out the dynamic lib stuff, which I figured
out by
using lib32 instead and getting dead libs).
