I have found a partial solution here from Petr:
https://bugs.launchp...linux/+bug/331681
Quick fix - run script in terminal "sudo killall gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor" then connect the camera.
Long-term fix (Prevent the process from starting) - run script in terminal "sudo chmod -x /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor"
Then go to System -> Preferences -> Removable drives and media -> Cameras and remove the "f-spot-import" with "gthumb --import-photos" or etc...
The quick fix works for me, have just tried it. However, there is no 'Removable drives and media' menu in Karmic so I don't know how to complete the action. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in.

Worked form me (Kodak EasyShare Z915). It's a bug in Ubuntu, Mandriva recognized my camera out of box.
Try to right-click in the system menu, and select "Edit Menus". The "Removable drives and media" is probably there, it's just disabled. Homever, you can execute it with:
$ gnome-volume-properties
However, lots of people reply and say it didn't work for them.
HTH a little.
Cheers,
Scott.
