DigiKam won't open from desktop menu
 
|
I downloaded DigiKam to my Acer Aspire One with Linux, using the Add/Remove software feature in the advanced desktop menu. DigiKam, along with DigiKam Theme Design, Gthumb Image Viewer, Paint and ShowFoto all appeared in my desktop menu. When I click on any of the programs, nothing happens. I then went to a terminal and entered /usr/bin/digikam to see if it would open that way and got an error message: "error while loading shared libraires libexiv2.so.0: cannot open shared object file. I've never used Linex before, and the Aspire One uses something called Linex Linpus Lite, so I really need step by step instructions on getting DigiKam to work.
If it makes any difference, since I couldn't get DigiKam to even open, I downloaded Picasa for Linex which opened and works great. Since Picasa didn't appear in my menu, I used the /usr/bin/picasa command and Picasa opened with no problem. Unfortunately, my Canon Powershot S410 is not supported in the Linex version. I read that my camera should work with DigiKam though, so I really would like to try it out.

Did you use the 'add/remove software' program (Pirut) on the One to install Digikam? If so, try using the same route to install a package called libexiv2 (just put that in the Pirut search bar and the full package name will appear). This should contain the library Digikam is looking for, so installing it should solve the problem. _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Yes, I did use the One's add/remove feature to install DigiKam.
I just went to Package Manager and searched for Digikam under installed packages. The libexiv2 program was part of the DigiKam package that was installed, along with libkipi (which appears twice in the list), and libkidcraw. I also noticed that libkipi was for use with the KDE environment. My One is using XFCE and was wondering if that was the problem. If that's the case, how do I delete DigiKam? In the add/remove program, I didn't see any option for deleting. On Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 2:54 AM, David Aldred <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hi Charles,
hmm, this sounds like a distribution specific problem to me.... What is the output of ls -l /usr/lib/libexiv* and ldd /usr/bin/digikam ?

Don't delete it just yet; the Linux distribution on the One is distinctly weird and the chances are it's not got a link set up where it should have, or something like that. Arnd has posted with a couple of things to check: use the commands he's suggested (in a terminal window, if that's not obvious) and post back the output. I've not installed Digikam on my One as I was not planning to use it on that platform yet (and I may have changed Linux distro on the One by the time I do want it!). However if you have further difficulty with finding what's wrong I will install it and see what I can find out. If you do eventually decide to uninstall, you use the add/remove program and remove the tick in the box next to the program you want to remove. I'm not clear on whether this removes all the unnecessary dependencies (i.e. all the libraries it loaded but doesn't need any more): it might be best to ask on the Aspire One user forums about that. It may be that you're better to use the terminal again to completely remove the applications. -- David Aldred _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Sorry Amd, I have no idea where or how to check for output for those commands (codes?) I don't know even what you mean by output. This stuff is like learning a foreign language.
So far, in every forum and web site tutorial for Linux, I feel like a first grade student trying to understand a PHD's explanation of Einstein's theory of Relativity. This is a humbling experience for me, since I'm usually the one my relatives call for help with doing something on their PC with Windows. Now I know how they feel...LOL On Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 9:35 AM, Arnd Baecker <[hidden email]> wrote: Hi Charles, _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

To do what I suggested, you need to start a so called terminal window into which you can type commands. I am not sure what is provided on your distribution, for example it might be called `konsole` or `xterm` in one of the menus available via the GUI. There, for example, you would type (or copy-and-paste: "use the left-mouse to mark the text by dragging and paste the marked text using the middle mouse button") ls -l /usr/lib/libexiv* In the same way you can copy-and-paste the output of this command to the email for reply. I hope this helps a bit, if not, maybe David Aldred can give more distribution specific comments.

Hi, Charles Here are specifics as to how to do this on the One, even from 'basic desktop mode' (the way it was originally set up). Go to 'My Documents' on the front page menu From the 'File' menu, select 'Terminal' At the prompt in the terminal window, type 'ls -l /usr/lib/libexiv* ' Stuff will come up on the screen. Highlight it, and on the Edit menu select 'Copy'. Paste into a reply to this mailing list using whatever mail software you're using. Now the same again, but type in 'ldd /usr/bin/digikam' If you're stuck, do mail me off-list. Over time, with Linux, the command line becomes more your friend than a threat; you may not need to use it very often, but its extremely powerful when you do use it! The information you get will tell us whether the One has libexiv (things starting 'lib' are libraries which programs can call upon) installed where Digikam wants it, and what libraries Digikam is finding where. (Arnd, correct me if that's not right!) [Arnd, for your information, the One runs on an OEM-modified version of Linpus Lite, which is derived from Fedora 8. Some of the modifications are downright weird - like rewriting /etc/hosts file from startup scripts on every boot, for example - so we can't assume anything which works in Fedora 8 will necessarily work on the One, though it seems most things do. It does a good job of driving its hardware (no other Linux yet supports everything fully, though people are working on it), though, so many people are likely to stick with this "distro"; working out how to get Digikam working on it will be helpful]. -- David Aldred _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

It seems that when installing digikam, libkexiv2 was installed (as also the output of ldd suggests), but somehow the dependency of libkexiv2 on libexiv2 was not taken into account.

Re: DigiKam won't open from desktop menu

I installed digikam from the Add/Remove software feature of the advanced desktop menu. I just did a search and even manually checked the list of packages and libexiv2 is not listed.
When installing the digiKam package I didn't install libkipi-devel, digikam-devel or digiKam-doc, because I assumed they were for developers. Could libexiv2 be in one of those? On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 12:38 AM, Arnd Baecker <[hidden email]> wrote:

Charles, wait a couple of hours and I'll be home and can check on my One. I thought I'd seen libexiv2 in the Add/Remove list, but I may have misread libkexiv..... (Arnd, is that definitely the package name? I have vague memories of a package called exiv2-libs instead at some point.....) -- David _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

OK, back home now. Charles, you're right; there's no libexiv2 package in the repository. However, my memory wasn't playing me up: there is an exiv2-libs package (exiv2-libs-0.15-4.fc8.i386). Arnd, according to http://hany.sk/~hany/RPM/libexiv2.so.0.html this package would provide libexiv2.so.0; I'd say it was worth trying it - do you agree? If it works, presumably there's just a dependency error in the Fedora 8 package for Digikam. -- David _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Well, I've come this far, might as well see what happens.

In reply to this post by Arnd Baecker
That did it. The DigiKam program works. Thanks a lot!!! Now I have another problem. I selected my camera from the list, clicked OK, a new window opened up which shows the name of the camera I added. The problem is that window is cut off at the bottom and I don't know if there is a save button or not. When I close that window and look at selections on the menu bar, the add images is grayed out, also no media is detected under Camera menu, and if I click on import only the Folder option is available. When I go back to the cameras added list, it's empty. I did it several times and it did the same thing. I tried to auto detect and it detected another model Canon camera instead of the one I own. That one disappears from the added camera list too. Is there a Save button I can't see on that list of added cameras?

Me neither, as I don't use that route to get my images into digikam. Maybe you can find the corresponding screenshot in the manual, http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/extragear-graphics/digikam/index.html but to me it sounds very likely, that something is cut-off ...

Great stuff!
If you hold the ALT key and left-click somewhere on the dialogue window, you should be able to drag it around with the mouse/trackpad so that you can see what's further down. Not ideal, perhaps, but an awful lot of programs are written for a bigger screen that these small machines have (1024x600). -- David _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |
