Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

Tom Rank
Hi

Version 3.5 of Digikam on Ubuntu 14.04 crashed too often for my liking,
so I hoped that an upgrade to a newer version would help. Version 4.0
runs fine on my Linux Mint laptop (with a small photo collection) so I
reckoned that an upgrade on my desktop might be an improvement.

I've just completed a fresh install of Linux Mint 17.1, which runs fine,
and installed Digikam Version: 4:4.0.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa2. I've
put my large photo collection (about 300 GB) in Pictures.

First run routine says images will be in:
/home/tom/Pictures

That's correct (but any attempt to browse elsewhere leads the setup
window to vanish and Digikam stops)

Scanning collections was very quick (too quick, I thought) - but then
nothing. Digikam didn't run, no crash report, nothing.

Run Digikam again: same quick scan of albums, then nothing.

I can easily upgrade to a more recent version - version 4.0.0 is the
default for Mint 17.1, which is based on Ubuntu 14.04 (though 14.04 is
stuck at 3.5). Should I try to add an additional PPA to install a later
version?

Please can anyone help? I've found Digikam a really useful program for
managing a growing photo collection and now feel lost!

(Yes, I did first try to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10 - but for some reason
my hardware didn't like it: Mint 17.1 installed without a hitch)

Thanks!

Tom

I don't really understand your problem. "Run Digikam again: same quick scan of albums, then nothing." What does "nothing" here mean that is your problem? As I understand it digikam doesn't crash on you?

If you update Digikam (or even otherwise) from a PPA or other way I suggest that you make sure that you don't use sqlite3 3.8.2 that comes with Ubuntu 14.04 as that version is buggy with Digikam. So check which version of the package libsqlite3-0 you are using. Ubunt 14.10 comes with version 3.8.6 that works much better so either install it from Ubuntu 14.10 or backport it some how.

Re: Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

Tom Rank
Thanks for the reply.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. When I completed the initial set up, Digikam
appeared to start, and seemed to be scanning the albums - but only for a
second or two, then the program vanished - no Digikam workspace, no icon
on the task bar, etc. So I take that to be a crash, even though it
doesn't open the error reporting window (as version 3.5 used to give me).

As a temporary measure, I decided to set up Shotwell: it took about 8
hours to scan and 'import' all my images. I don't expect Digikam to take
so long, but 2 or 3 seconds doesn't seem right, especially when it
doesn't then display anything.

I did try to load libsqlite3-0 version 3.8.6 on Ubuntu 14.04: that gave
me various warnings about incompatible programs - and didn't seem to
work with Digikam. I tried an upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10 - but that caused
me a significant graphics problem with my hardware, so I went for Linux
Mint 17.1, which had no such problem. It's based on Ubuntu 14.04, but
loads the more recent Digikam 4.0.0. I'll see if I can get a more recent
version of Digikam and libsqlite3-0 running and report back - I realise
now how much I'm missing Digikam!

Re: Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

Philip Johnsson
Open a shell/terminal and start digikam from there by typing "digikam" (without the "")and hit enter. Hopefully you will get some error messages there that can give clues about what's going on. I would guess that you somehow have installed KDE and/or exiv2 versions other than your installed Digikam is built against to use.

Most likely you have more than one package from sqlite3 installed on your system. You might have to install/update them at the same time with the same install/update command (not install one of the sqlite3 packages and then the other) to not have a conflict as they depend on each other. Shouldn't conflict with other packages but it's own version.

Re: Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

Tom Rank
Hi Philip

Thanks for the two suggestions. First, here's the error report when I
ran Digikam 4.0.0 from a command line:

So: I then followed your suggestion to look at Dmitri Popov's solution,
which is at:
http://scribblesandsnaps.com/2014/12/12/making-digikam-stable-on-ubuntu-14-04/

I downloaded the two packages and tried to install the first - but got
this error message (I was installing the amd64 package for my AMD64 system):

Preparing to unpack libsqlite3-0_3.8.6-1_amd64.deb ...
De-configuring libsqlite3-0:i386 (3.8.2-1ubuntu2) ...

dpkg: error processing package libsqlite3-0:amd64 (--install):
  package libsqlite3-0:amd64 3.8.6-1 cannot be configured because
libsqlite3-0:i386 is at a different version (3.8.2-1ubuntu2)
dpkg: error processing package libsqlite3-0:i386 (--install):
  package libsqlite3-0:i386 3.8.2-1ubuntu2 cannot be configured because
libsqlite3-0:amd64 is at a different version (3.8.6-1)
Errors were encountered while processing:
  libsqlite3-0:amd64
  libsqlite3-0:i386

So: do I need to install the i386 version as well, even though mine is a
64 bit system? Or do I ignore this and go on to install
sqlite3_3.8.6-1_amd64.deb?

Sorry - I don't pretend to be a super-user! But I do want Digikam to
work - I've been reduced to using Shotwell and am missing a lot of
features that I'd become used to in Digikam.

Tom

Re: Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

Philip Johnsson
The error from when you start digikam suggest that something is missing when it comes to KDE runtime files. Try to install the package "kdelibs5-data" and see if that helps.

And yes you need some base packages as both i386 packages and amd64 packages to get 32bit compatibility. sqlite3 is one of those packages. Therefore installed both i386 and amd64 versions of it as suggested by the error message when you tried to update them.

So: I then followed your suggestion to look at Dmitri Popov's solution, which is at:
http://scribblesandsnaps.com/2014/12/12/making-digikam-stable-on-ubuntu-14-04/

I downloaded the two packages and tried to install the first - but got this error message (I was installing the amd64 package for my AMD64 system):

Preparing to unpack libsqlite3-0_3.8.6-1_amd64.deb ...
De-configuring libsqlite3-0:i386 (3.8.2-1ubuntu2) ...

dpkg: error processing package libsqlite3-0:i386 (--install):
 package libsqlite3-0:i386 3.8.2-1ubuntu2 cannot be configured because libsqlite3-0:amd64 is at a different version (3.8.6-1)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libsqlite3-0:amd64
 libsqlite3-0:i386

So: do I need to install the i386 version as well, even though mine is a 64 bit system? Or do I ignore this and go on to install sqlite3_3.8.6-1_amd64.deb?

Sorry - I don't pretend to be a super-user! But I do want Digikam to work - I've been reduced to using Shotwell and am missing a lot of features that I'd become used to in Digikam.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. When I completed the initial set up, Digikam
appeared to start, and seemed to be scanning the albums - but only for a
second or two, then the program vanished - no Digikam workspace, no icon
on the task bar, etc. So I take that to be a crash, even though it
doesn't open the error reporting window (as version 3.5 used to give me).

As a temporary measure, I decided to set up Shotwell: it took about 8
hours to scan and 'import' all my images. I don't expect Digikam to take
so long, but 2 or 3 seconds doesn't seem right, especially when it
doesn't then display anything.

I did try to load libsqlite3-0 version 3.8.6 on Ubuntu 14.04: that gave
me various warnings about incompatible programs - and didn't seem to
work with Digikam. I tried an upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10 - but that caused
me a significant graphics problem with my hardware, so I went for Linux
Mint 17.1, which had no such problem. It's based on Ubuntu 14.04, but
loads the more recent Digikam 4.0.0. I'll see if I can get a more recent
version of Digikam and libsqlite3-0 running and report back - I realise
now how much I'm missing Digikam!

If you update Digikam (or even otherwise) from a PPA or other way I
suggest that you make sure that you don't use sqlite3 3.8.2 that comes
with Ubuntu 14.04 as that version is buggy with Digikam. So check which
version of the package libsqlite3-0 you are using. Ubunt 14.10 comes
with version 3.8.6 that works much better so either install it from
Ubuntu 14.10 or backport it some how.

Re: Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

Tom Rank
Hi Philip

Thanks for your patient and helpful responses. I've made some progress:
installing kdelibs5-data did indeed get Digikam started (it's odd it
wasn't already there, as this is a clean install the same day of Linux
Mint 17.1).

I also installed both the i386 and amd64 versions of the libsqlite3-0
and sqlite3 packages - and the system seemed happy with those.

However, although Digikam 4.0.0 now loads and seems to scan the albums,
so that all the folders are listed in the Albums pane, it won't show the
images - the display pane is blank and no files are listed.

I then tried to install the latest version, adding (as advised) these
ppa locations (and their sources):

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/extra/ubuntu trusty main

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu trusty main

Yet despite running

sudo apt-get update - and
sudo apt-get install digikam

... all that's installed is version 4.0.0 again.

Do I need to change "ubuntu trusty main" to "ubuntu utopic main"? I
hesitate to do this without checking in case I break something else!

Thanks

Tom

Re: Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

Philip Johnsson
Good to know that you are having progress.

I don't use Linux Mint so I'm not sure which versions are based on which Ubuntu versions. You should use trusty if your Linux Mint is based on ubuntu 14.04 and utopic if it's based on Ubuntu 14.10.

Before you add my "kubuntu-backports" PPA you should make sure what version of KDE libs your system is using. If it's using KDE 4.13 then you shouldn’t use the "kubuntu-backports" PPA at all. "kubuntu-backports" PPA is meant to be used with KDE 4.14 and then you use BOTH the "extra" and the "kubuntu-backports" PPA.

Hi Philip

Thanks for your patient and helpful responses. I've made some progress: installing kdelibs5-data did indeed get Digikam started (it's odd it wasn't already there, as this is a clean install the same day of Linux Mint 17.1).

I also installed both the i386 and amd64 versions of the libsqlite3-0 and sqlite3 packages - and the system seemed happy with those.

However, although Digikam 4.0.0 now loads and seems to scan the albums, so that all the folders are listed in the Albums pane, it won't show the images - the display pane is blank and no files are listed.

I then tried to install the latest version, adding (as advised) these ppa locations (and their sources):

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/extra/ubuntu trusty main

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu trusty main

Yet despite running

sudo apt-get update - and
sudo apt-get install digikam

... all that's installed is version 4.0.0 again.

Do I need to change "ubuntu trusty main" to "ubuntu utopic main"? I hesitate to do this without checking in case I break something else!

Thanks

Tom

The error from when you start digikam suggest that something is missing
when it comes to KDE runtime files. Try to install the package
"kdelibs5-data" and see if that helps.

And yes you need some base packages as both i386 packages and amd64
packages to get 32bit compatibility. sqlite3 is one of those packages.
Therefore installed both i386 and amd64 versions of it as suggested by
the error message when you tried to update them.

    I downloaded the two packages and tried to install the first - but

    So: do I need to install the i386 version as well, even though mine

    sqlite3_3.8.6-1_amd64.deb?

    Sorry - I don't pretend to be a super-user! But I do want Digikam to
    work - I've been reduced to using Shotwell and am missing a lot of

            Sorry if I wasn't clear. When I completed the initial set
            up, Digikam
            appeared to start, and seemed to be scanning the albums -
            but only for a
            second or two, then the program vanished - no Digikam
            workspace, no icon
            on the task bar, etc. So I take that to be a crash, even
            though it
            doesn't open the error reporting window (as version 3.5 used
            to give me).

            As a temporary measure, I decided to set up Shotwell: it
            took about 8
            hours to scan and 'import' all my images. I don't expect
            Digikam to take
            so long, but 2 or 3 seconds doesn't seem right, especially
            when it
            doesn't then display anything.

            I did try to load libsqlite3-0 version 3.8.6 on Ubuntu
            14.04: that gave
            me various warnings about incompatible programs - and didn't
            seem to
            work with Digikam. I tried an upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10 - but
            that caused
            me a significant graphics problem with my hardware, so I
            went for Linux
            Mint 17.1, which had no such problem. It's based on Ubuntu
            14.04, but
            loads the more recent Digikam 4.0.0. I'll see if I can get a
            more recent
            version of Digikam and libsqlite3-0 running and report back
            - I realise
            now how much I'm missing Digikam!

                If you update Digikam (or even otherwise) from a PPA or
                other way I
                suggest that you make sure that you don't use sqlite3
                3.8.2 that comes
                with Ubuntu 14.04 as that version is buggy with Digikam.
                So check which
                version of the package libsqlite3-0 you are using. Ubunt
                14.10 comes
                with version 3.8.6 that works much better so either
                install it from

                     Version 4.0 runs fine on my Linux Mint laptop (with
                a small photo

                desktop might be an
                     improvement.

                     I've just completed a fresh install of Linux Mint
                17.1, which runs
                     fine, and installed Digikam Version:
                     4:4.0.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~____ppa2. I've put my

                large photo
                     collection (about 300 GB) in Pictures.

                     First run routine says images will be in:
                     /home/tom/Pictures

                     That's correct (but any attempt to browse elsewhere
                leads the setup
                     window to vanish and Digikam stops)

                     Scanning collections was very quick (too quick, I
                thought) - but
                     then nothing. Digikam didn't run, no crash report,
                nothing.

                     Run Digikam again: same quick scan of albums, then
                nothing.

                     I can easily upgrade to a more recent version -
                version 4.0.0 is the
                     default for Mint 17.1, which is based on Ubuntu
                14.04 (though 14.04
                     is stuck at 3.5). Should I try to add an additional
                PPA to install a
                     later version?

                     Please can anyone help? I've found Digikam a really
                useful program
                     for managing a growing photo collection and now
                feel lost!

                     (Yes, I did first try to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10 -
                but for some
                     reason my hardware didn't like it: Mint 17.1
                installed without a

Re: Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

Tom Rank
Hi

Thanks again. Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu 14.04, and my version uses
KDE 4.14. I've added the "extra" and the "kubuntu-backports" PPAs to my
software sources - but it still loads version 4.0.0, which has the
problem that it won't show my photos. I even tried:
sudo apt-get install digikam=4.5.0

But it replied:
E: Version ‘4.5.0’ for ‘digikam’ was not found

With other software, I recall that adding an extra PPA gave me the
newest version when it was not available in the official repository.
That doesn’t seem to be happening here.

Thanks for  any help!

Tom

Re: Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

Philip Johnsson
If you don't have it available then something is wrong how you added the repository. Maybe you don't have included the PPAs key that makes the PPA trusted? This can be done automatically if you use the add-apt-repository command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip5/extra
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip5/kubuntu-backports   (only use this PPA if you are sure that you use KDE 4.14 and not with KDE 4.13)
sudo apt-get update

If digikam is installed before then:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

This will either just update all what's needed from my PPAs or tell you if there is some kind of conflict that holds anything back that needs to be solved.

Hi

Thanks again. Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu 14.04, and my version uses KDE 4.14. I've added the "extra" and the "kubuntu-backports" PPAs to my software sources - but it still loads version 4.0.0, which has the problem that it won't show my photos. I even tried:
sudo apt-get install digikam=4.5.0

But it replied:
E: Version ‘4.5.0’ for ‘digikam’ was not found

With other software, I recall that adding an extra PPA gave me the newest version when it was not available in the official repository. That doesn’t seem to be happening here.

Thanks for  any help!

I don't use Linux Mint so I'm not sure which versions are based on which
Ubuntu versions. You should use trusty if your Linux Mint is based on
ubuntu 14.04 and utopic if it's based on Ubuntu 14.10.

Before you add my "kubuntu-backports" PPA you should make sure what
version of KDE libs your system is using. If it's using KDE 4.13 then
you shouldn’t use the "kubuntu-backports" PPA at all.
"kubuntu-backports" PPA is meant to be used with KDE 4.14 and then you
use BOTH the "extra" and the "kubuntu-backports" PPA.

Still no progress, I fear:

I've carried out these tasks (having first removed the repositories from
the software updater in case of problems):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip5/extra

Digikam is still stuck on version 4.0.0 (KDE 4.14.2), still no photos

Any help?

Re: Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

Mick Sulley
Hi Tom,

I am running DK 4.5 on Mint 17 Qiana 64 bit and it seems to be fine.

PPA's
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu trusty
main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu trusty main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu trusty main

Synaptic lists digikam as 4:4.5.0-trusty~ppa1kde414

Let me know if there is anything I can tell you about my system.

Cheers
Mick

Re: Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

Tom Rank
Hi Mick

Thanks: it seems that this must be possible. My version is Mint Rebecca
(17.1) - which should be the same, and I think my PPAs are the same too,
but I don't seem able to force Mint to install the newest version. It's
late here now, so I'll check everything properly tomorrow.

Best wishes

Tom

Re: Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

Tom Rank
In reply to this post by Mick Sulley
Hi Mick

Thanks: it is helpful to know you're running DK 4.5 on a similar system.
In fact, my laptop is running Mint 17.1 and Digikam 4.0.0 without
complaining - but it only has a dozen photos to handle, and there isn't
room to install my photo collection on the laptop, even if I wanted to.

However, now I've had time to look at it carefully, it hasn't got me
much further.

Your list of PPAs includes:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu trusty main
http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu trusty main

But not this suggested by Philip:
ppa:philip5/extra

Anyway, using the PPAs suggested by Philip (ppa:philip5/extra
and ppa:philip5/kubuntu-backports), I've again reinstalled Digikam - but
still only get 4.0.0 (with KDE 4.14.2)- and still it won't open any
image folders, and won't show any images, JPEG or RAW.

Using right click on a folder (where I know there are images) or the
menu item 'open in file manager' just crashes the program.

Here are some reports from the terminal:

It seems I have installed:
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.14.2
digiKam: 4.0.0

Suggested additions at install time included:
digikam-doc systemsettings libqt4-sql-mysql hspell kdelibs5-plugins

[Should I install these myself?]

Re: Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

Philip Johnsson
Could you run this commands from a terminal/shell and tell me what it outputs (without the "")?

"apt-cache policy digikam"

It should display all the versions of digikam that your system have in its resources available for apt to install. If you use both my PPAs it should display them both as possible versions and also other older versions.

There must be something missing or conflicting when it comes to repositories or packages.

Hi Mick

Thanks: it is helpful to know you're running DK 4.5 on a similar system. In fact, my laptop is running Mint 17.1 and Digikam 4.0.0 without complaining - but it only has a dozen photos to handle, and there isn't room to install my photo collection on the laptop, even if I wanted to.

However, now I've had time to look at it carefully, it hasn't got me much further.

Your list of PPAs includes:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu trusty main
http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu trusty main

But not this suggested by Philip:
ppa:philip5/extra

Anyway, using the PPAs suggested by Philip (ppa:philip5/extra
and ppa:philip5/kubuntu-backports), I've again reinstalled Digikam - but still only get 4.0.0 (with KDE 4.14.2)- and still it won't open any image folders, and won't show any images, JPEG or RAW.

Using right click on a folder (where I know there are images) or the menu item 'open in file manager' just crashes the program.

Here are some reports from the terminal:

It seems I have installed:
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.14.2
digiKam: 4.0.0

Suggested additions at install time included:
digikam-doc systemsettings libqt4-sql-mysql hspell kdelibs5-plugins

[Should I install these myself?]

        ubuntu 14.04 and utopic if it's based on Ubuntu 14.10.

        Before you add my "kubuntu-backports" PPA you should make
sure what
        version of KDE libs your system is using. If it's using KDE 4.13
        then
        you shouldn’t use the "kubuntu-backports" PPA at all.
        "kubuntu-backports" PPA is meant to be used with KDE 4.14 and
        then you
        use BOTH the "extra" and the "kubuntu-backports" PPA.

Re: Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

Philip Johnsson
Mick,

You should add my "extra" PPA too as source if you want to be able to use my packages in the future, even though it might happen to work for you now. My kubuntu-backports PPA only have packages that need to be rebuilt against an updated version of KDE than found in standard Ubuntu of that release version (i.e trusty, utopic, etc). The "extra" PPA will always be my main PPA that might have updated packages not found in my kubuntu-backports PPA but that it will depend up on.

"apt-cache policy digikam"

It should display all the versions of digikam that your system have in its resources available for apt to install. If you use both my PPAs it should display them both as possible versions and also other older versions.

There must be something missing or conflicting when it comes to repositories or packages.

Hi Mick

Thanks: it is helpful to know you're running DK 4.5 on a similar system. In fact, my laptop is running Mint 17.1 and Digikam 4.0.0 without complaining - but it only has a dozen photos to handle, and there isn't room to install my photo collection on the laptop, even if I wanted to.

However, now I've had time to look at it carefully, it hasn't got me much further.

Your list of PPAs includes:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu trusty main
http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu trusty main

But not this suggested by Philip:
ppa:philip5/extra

Anyway, using the PPAs suggested by Philip (ppa:philip5/extra
and ppa:philip5/kubuntu-backports), I've again reinstalled Digikam - but still only get 4.0.0 (with KDE 4.14.2)- and still it won't open any image folders, and won't show any images, JPEG or RAW.

Using right click on a folder (where I know there are images) or the menu item 'open in file manager' just crashes the program.

Here are some reports from the terminal:

It seems I have installed:
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.14.2
digiKam: 4.0.0

Suggested additions at install time included:
digikam-doc systemsettings libqt4-sql-mysql hspell kdelibs5-plugins

[Should I install these myself?]

Error messages on running:

So it seems I still have things missing. Is this information any help to someone better informed than me?

Digikam is still stuck on version 4.0.0 (KDE 4.14.2), still no photos

Any help?

If you don't have it available then something is wrong how you added the
repository. Maybe you don't have included the PPAs key that makes the
PPA trusted? This can be done automatically if you use the
add-apt-repository command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip5/extra
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip5/kubuntu-backports   (only use this
PPA if you are sure that you use KDE 4.14 and not with KDE 4.13)
sudo apt-get update

If digikam is installed before then:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

This will either just update all what's needed from my PPAs or tell you
if there is some kind of conflict that holds anything back that needs to
be solved.

Re: Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

In reply to this post by Philip Johnsson
Philip,

Thanks for the advise, I have added the "extra" PPA and everything appears to still be working, which is always a bonus :)

I now see -

Mick,

You should add my "extra" PPA too as source if you want to be able to use my packages in the future, even though it might happen to work for you now. My kubuntu-backports PPA only have packages that need to be rebuilt against an updated version of KDE than found in standard Ubuntu of that release version (i.e trusty, utopic, etc). The "extra" PPA will always be my main PPA that might have updated packages not found in my kubuntu-backports PPA but that it will depend up on.

Could you run this commands from a terminal/shell and tell me what it outputs (without the "")?

"apt-cache policy digikam"

It should display all the versions of digikam that your system have in its resources available for apt to install. If you use both my PPAs it should display them both as possible versions and also other older versions.

There must be something missing or conflicting when it comes to repositories or packages.

Hi Mick

Thanks: it is helpful to know you're running DK 4.5 on a similar system. In fact, my laptop is running Mint 17.1 and Digikam 4.0.0 without complaining - but it only has a dozen photos to handle, and there isn't room to install my photo collection on the laptop, even if I wanted to.

However, now I've had time to look at it carefully, it hasn't got me much further.

Your list of PPAs includes:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu trusty main
http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu trusty main

But not this suggested by Philip:
ppa:philip5/extra

Anyway, using the PPAs suggested by Philip (ppa:philip5/extra
and ppa:philip5/kubuntu-backports), I've again reinstalled Digikam - but still only get 4.0.0 (with KDE 4.14.2)- and still it won't open any image folders, and won't show any images, JPEG or RAW.

Using right click on a folder (where I know there are images) or the menu item 'open in file manager' just crashes the program.

Here are some reports from the terminal:

It seems I have installed:
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.14.2
digiKam: 4.0.0

Suggested additions at install time included:
digikam-doc systemsettings libqt4-sql-mysql hspell kdelibs5-plugins

[Should I install these myself?]

Error messages on running:

So it seems I still have things missing. Is this information any help to someone better informed than me?

Digikam is still stuck on version 4.0.0 (KDE 4.14.2), still no photos
visible. I tried right click over a directory name: 'show in file
manger' - that crashes Digikam.

Any help?

If you don't have it available then something is wrong how you added the
repository. Maybe you don't have included the PPAs key that makes the
PPA trusted? This can be done automatically if you use the
add-apt-repository command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip5/extra
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip5/kubuntu-backports   (only use this
PPA if you are sure that you use KDE 4.14 and not with KDE 4.13)
sudo apt-get update

If digikam is installed before then:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

This will either just update all what's needed from my PPAs or tell you
if there is some kind of conflict that holds anything back that needs to
be solved.

    Hi

    Thanks again. Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu 14.04, and my version

    But it replied:
    E: Version ‘4.5.0’ for ‘digikam’ was not found

    With other software, I recall that adding an extra PPA gave me the

    That doesn’t seem to be happening here.

    Thanks for  any help!

        "kubuntu-backports" PPA is meant to be used with KDE 4.14 and

        use BOTH the "extra" and the "kubuntu-backports" PPA.
