I'm trying to control my EOS 1000D with gphoto2. But can't detect with gphoto2 it. enter image description here

with lsusb I can find the Camera. enter image description here

Any idea what is going wrong?

My setup: VirtualBox Version 5.2.18 r124319 (Qt5.6.2), Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, gphoto2 2.5.15, libgphoto2 2.5.17, libgphoto2_port 0.12.0

apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev 

+ compiling, install libgphoto and gphoto2 by hand did the trick.

For some reason libgphoto2_port 0.12.0 did not suport USB (you can check withgphoto --version). It require libusb (see here) . libusb-1.0-0 was installed. Looks like you need libusb-1.0-0-dev to run it proper.
