Canon RemoteCapture 2.7.5 Camera error

[JD Hupp]

I'm trying to use Canon RemoteCapture 2.7.5 for a USB-connected Powershot G1 on Lubuntu 12.04 running WINE 1.4.

In Windows, RemoteCapture connects to the camera when it is in PC-communication mode and allows the user to snap preview shots, adjust camera settings, and also snap shots that are copied to the PC.

When I run the program in WINE and choose Connect (to Connect to the camera), it responds with:

Camera error:
Check the lens cover and the cable connecting, then reconnect.

The program output in a terminal window:

WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-ZFgwvv/pkcs11: No such file or directory
fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented.

Because of the wiadevmgr messages I tried to Install Canon's WIA driver via WINE also. It arrived at a point where the installer said something vaguely like "Make sure your camera is on and connected. When you click OK to close the installer, Windows will continue the installation. Of course, clicking OK at that point simply closed the WINE/Wia-installer window.

Results were still the same after the above attempt.

Results are the same whether the camera's memory card is mounted or unmounted. (In Lubuntu, the gphoto2 command-line-interface for remote control/access only works with the card unmounted.)
