           Summary: can't setup camera correctly
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.7.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: musikus1953 yahoo de


Version:           0.7.2 (using KDE 3.4.0 Level "b" , SUSE 9.3)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i586) release 2.6.11.4-21.10-default

1. I'm a new user of digicam. My camera is HP Photo Smart C200
Now the description of my problem follows:
As I started the program the first time logged in as normal user, my cam wasn't found by autodetect. Manual addition from the camera-list was possible, but I ccouldn't set the serial port it is connected to. Each try to access the cam failed.
Logged in as root autodetect also failed, but manual addition worked. I can download pictures and do all the things I want to do under normal user account.
I've tried several things to get it work as normal user. First I added the cam in KDE Control Center, where I also could specify the serial port, but digicam didn't change its behaviour. Even the addition of my user account to group root and set this as standard group didn't allow functionally setup of my cam. Now I have no more idea to get a working setup.
On startup digicam loads 14 KIPI-Plugins, I don't have any other programs running when I use digicam (except programs started during login process), allthough my machine has 512MB RAM installed and works with 1GB swap.

0.7.2 is a too older digiKam version. I recommend you to try a recnt release (0.8.2 for example, or better 0.9.0-beta1) using the last libbphoto2.2 release.

First I have to say sorry...

I have experienced many problems with my system in the last month's... think it was simply a too old pc (amd k6II-500 on a noname-mainboard). Some hardware-defekts in the last weeks caused me to buy a new one and after re-installing my linux-version and update to digikam 0.8.2 now everything works fine. Thank you for your support... I hope it wasn't too much work for you.
