Additionally I tested starting the camera in Sony Imaging Edge in Windows 10. Let it transition to connected in PC-remote mode. Then connecting it to the Ubuntu OS VMs (Desktop & Server) and it still got PTP timeouts. Even though it was partly initialized. I also tried different microUSB cables. Hence I fully expect this is a bug in gphoto2.

Please also note I tested this rented Sony A6300 camera with the Sony Imaging Edge software over USB to the Windows 10 on that system and it worked perfectly. So there shouldn't be anything wrong with the camera or the multiple PC USB ports I tested the camera with. The version of Imaging Edge tested was downloaded 5/13/2019. I also tested Imaging Edge for Mobile (Android) to the WiFi API in addition to my tests of that API with curl/Python 2.7 from Windows 10 and the Ubuntu OS VMs.
