Import issue on SVN version

[Dotan Cohen]

When trying to import photos (Import -> Add Images -> Select All ->
Download Selected) from /home/hardy/shalom on a clean ~/Pictures I got
this error:
"""
Window with title "Images found in /home/hardy/shalom - digiKam" is
not responding. This window belongs to application digikam (PID=11603,
hostname=localhost).
Do you wish to terminate this application? (All unsaved data in this
application will be lost.)
"""
There was nothing unusual in the terminal output, just the list of
files and some info about them. After about two minutes (the time it
took me to write this) the dialog box disappeared and this was written
to the terminal:

digikam(11603): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave:

digikam(11603): Failed to list url:  "Could not start process Unable

Digikam does not have the new files in it. In other words, it is as if
I performed no import.

More details:
I see in Dolphin that the photos were imported to the correct album,
however, in Digikam I do not see the photos.

Hmm, somehow it does not find the kioslaves stuff.
Might be a similar issue as Geoff reported with the same
solution (see his last mail).

Thanks, it is the same issue. I have set this environment, but it did not help:
DIGIKAMKDE4=$HOME/digikam-notes/DEV_digikam4
export LIBDIR=$DIGIKAMKDE4:/usr/lib/kde4
export DBUSDIR=$DIGIKAMKDE4:/usr/lib/kde4
export KDEDIR=$DIGIKAMKDE4:/usr/lib/kde4
export KDEDIRS=$DIGIKAMKDE4:/usr/lib/kde4
export KDEHOME=/home/hardy/.kde4
export KDETMP=/home/hardy/tmp/hardy-kde4
export KDEVARTMP="/var/tmp/hardy-kde4";
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DIGIKAMKDE4/lib:/usr/lib/kde4:/usr/lib/kde4/lib
export LDPATH=$DIGIKAMKDE4/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DIGIKAMKDE4/lib
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt4
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/lib/kde4/plugins
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$DIGIKAMKDE4/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/kde4/lib/pkgconfig
export PATH=$DIGIKAMKDE4/bin:$PATH

The only environment variable that I did not set was DBUSDIR because I
don't really know what it is. All the rest were educated guesses, too,
based on info like this:
$ ls /opt/kde4/
$ ls /usr/lib/kde4/
bin  etc  include  lib  share
$

Is there a way to check what parameters I need? There really is no way
to google this from what I understand. I'm sorry for filling up the
mailing list with noobie questions, but I'm not getting very far by
myself.

I should probably add that although Geoff and others in the bug report
mention that the non-existent photos phenomenon only happens upon
first start, in my case it happens on _every_ start. That is, I've
_never_ gotten Digikam 0.10 to show me my pictures. Should I add that
info to the bug report?

Well, I've tried every combination of setting and not setting every
variable that I could. I cannot get Digikam to show pictures, I always
get a different error accompanied by "klauncher said: Unknown protocol
'digikamalbums'". I have tried running "update-desktop-files" as
suggested here (http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-kde-extras/2005-December/000383.html).
I don't see anything related to digikam in .xsession-errors, which was
suggested in several pages that I found.

Should I recompile without using prefixes? I have read here
(http://mlblog.osdir.com/kde.digikam.user/2006-06/index.shtml#00010)
that might help. According to here
(http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-users/2005-November/000615.html)
I have not set properly the kde install path. How should one know what
that path is? If I don't use prefixes, then will Digikam find it
automatically in compilation?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure, the whole kio-slave stuff used to cause me a lot of
trouble in the past. Recently I somehow luckily got around problems ....

Just in case: the paths I set are
IGIKAM4DEST=/home/abaecker/NBB/SOFTWARE/DEV_digikam4
export PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/bin/:$PATH

export LANG=C
export KDEDIRS=$DIGIKAM4DEST:/usr/lib/kde4/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DIGIKAM4DEST/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LDPATH=$DIGIKAM4DEST/lib:$LDPATH
export PATH=$DIGIKAM4DEST/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$DIGIKAM4DEST/lib/pkgconfig

export MARBLE_PATH=$HOME/NBB/SOFTWARE/Marble/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MARBLE_PATH/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LDPATH=$MARBLE_PATH/lib:$LDPATH
export PATH=$MARBLE_PATH/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$MARBLE_PATH/lib/pkgconfig:$DIGIKAM4DEST/lib/pkgconfig
export INCLUDE_DIR=$MARBLE_PATH/include:$INCLUDE_DIR

export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=$MARBLE_PATH/include:$DIGIKAM4DEST/include
export CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=$MARBLE_PATH/lib:$DIGIKAM4DEST/lib

(Several of them only needed during compile .. ;-)

Maybe running
  /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kdeinit4
would help (in contrast to 0.9.x I never had to do that for 0.10,
but maybe I was just lucky ...).

Hmm, but now I am running of ideas ...

Best, Arnd

I used them all, switching only your first line to this line:
DIGIKAM4DEST=$HOME/digikam-notes/DEV_digikam4

Interesting thing, that the Digikam icon in the taskbar before running
the command was to be a black SLR, and now it is the HAL 9000. Other
than that, no change in operation. I still get the "klauncher said:
Unknown protocol 'digikamalbums'."

I'm already out of them! I had asked on the Ubuntu list as well, but
nobody answered. From what I understood in bugzilla
(http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165885) this may be fixed in SVN.
I will recompile as I did before, and if that does not help I will
recompile without prefix flags. If that doesn't help I will simply say
thanks for teaching me to compile, and I will try my best every now
and then to see if I can get the then-current SVN to compile, run, and
work properly.

In any case I will report back. Thank you for being so patient Arnd
(and Gilles and everybody else).

Hello Dotan,

I also had some trouble getting the digikam svn up and running on my Kubuntu
Hardy (using KDE4 Beta2 packages). In the end, the following method was
successful: I used precisely the same variable setting and command line
options as Arnd wrote in his "private notes" email, with the only difference
that instead of

DIGIKAMKDE4=$HOME/NBB/SOFTWARE/DEV_digikam4

I used

DIGIKAMKDE4=/usr/lib/kde4

(I ran into problems with the former setting.) The marble related settings
were probably unnecessary for me since I have marble in its default path; but
they don't hurt either.

So maybe you want to give that a try as well?

Good luck,
Gandalf

PS: I paste Arnd's notes here for reference:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe the following private notes for my installation on a kubuntu
machine are  helpful (or maybe not ;-):
((No claim of completeness ...))

Needed stuff
------------

aptitude install kde4libs-bin kde4-devel
(there is surely more, depending on the packages which
are already isntalled ...)

Environment variables
=====================

# ### Modifiy according to your destination:
DIGIKAMKDE4=$HOME/NBB/SOFTWARE/DEV_digikam4
export PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/bin/:$PATH

export LANG=C
export KDEDIRS=$DIGIKAMKDE4:/usr/lib/kde4/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DIGIKAMKDE4/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LDPATH=$DIGIKAMKDE4/lib:$LDPATH
export PATH=$DIGIKAMKDE4/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$DIGIKAMKDE4/lib/pkgconfig

# ### Modify according to your place where marble is located:
export MARBLE_PATH=$HOME/NBB/SOFTWARE/Marble/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MARBLE_PATH/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LDPATH=$MARBLE_PATH/lib:$LDPATH
export PATH=$MARBLE_PATH/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$MARBLE_PATH/lib/pkgconfig:$DIGIKAMKDE4/lib/pkgconfig
export INCLUDE_DIR=$MARBLE_PATH/include:$INCLUDE_DIR

export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=$MARBLE_PATH/include:$DIGIKAMKDE4/include
export CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=$MARBLE_PATH/lib:$DIGIKAMKDE4/lib


Checkout KDE4 version
=====================

- exiv2
  wget http://www.exiv2.org/exiv2-0.17.1.tar.gz
  tar xzf exiv2-0.17.1.tar.gz
  cd exiv2-0.17.1
  ./configure --prefix=$DIGIKAMKDE4
  make
  make install

- http://lensfun.berlios.de
  svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/lensfun/trunk
   ./configure --prefix=$DIGIKAMKDE4
   make install


- kdegraphics libs svn source for KDE4
  (includes libkipi, libkdcraw, libkexiv2, libksane) :

  svn co -N svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdegraphics
  cd kdegraphics
  svn up libs
  svn up cmake

- Checkout the latest digiKam and Kipi-plugins SVN source for KDE4:

  cd ..
  svn co -N svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/extragear/graphics
  cd graphics
  svn up digikam
  svn up kipi-plugins
  svn up cmake

- Installation for KDE4 in your system (/opt/kde4)
  cd ..


To compile the source code under linux you have to give these commands
in the source code folders. You should use a seperate build folder to
help cleaning up sources if something goes wrong.

cd ~/NBB/INSTALL_SOFTWARE/DIGIKAM4/kdegraphics/
rm -rf build
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$DIGIKAMKDE4 ../../kdegraphics
make
make install



Now for digikam itself:
-----------------------

cd ~/NBB/INSTALL_SOFTWARE/DIGIKAM4/graphics/
mkdir build
cd build
rm CMakeCache.txt
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$DIGIKAMKDE4 ../../graphics
make
make install

Thank you, grey wizard. I am now compiling without using -prefix but
if that does not work I will try like you suggest. But I am having a
hard time, I keep encountering this:
"svn: Can't read from connection: Connection reset by peer "

I will update the thread with my progress. Thanks.

Thank you Gandalf, compiling into /usr/lib/kde4 did the trick. I can
now see the photos. It was a rough compile: it took over an hour, and
the CPU temp went up to 69 degrees. The computer was doing nothing
other than compiling Digikam at the time, and as soon as the
compilation ended the temp started dropping. At 65 degrees when the
fan went to high speed (and I realized that the machine was getting
hot) I put frozen foods near (but not blocking) the air input, I'm
scared to think how high it would have gotten otherwise.

That's not digiKam's fault! :-D
I had to compile / calculate / train a classifier for eye detection last
summer. My laptop was running at full speed 1 week... all the time. I took
the time and went on a holiday this week :-) But I also was a little bit
scared, because 1 week is really a long time for my old laptop here. But he
survived it.
I don't think compiling digiKam will harm your system...
Do you had to eat all the food after that? What food was it? Special computer
cooling food :-) ?

Well, you can save some power not using your oven this way ;-)
I'm glad it worked out, have fun,

But a general problem when installing *hot* software ... ;-)

P.S.: And I am happy that the compile worked out in the end!
      (It seems that my preferred way of installing it to a
      separate place did cause a lot of pain ...)

I had a lot of problems before, too. But since I created a separate user,
compiling works like a charm and my .kde folder is not messed up... :-)

I didn't suspect it was digikam's fault. I was just expressing myself,
I don't like seeing Intel processors go above 60. I once had an AMD
Duron up to 108 (that's not a typo) and it's still running, but I've
had a Pentium4 brick at 72 degrees.

It actually was special computer cooling food! We buy frozen spices in
individually compartmented bubble packs, like upside-down ice cube
trays. This makes for lots of surface area, and channels for air. I
sat the laptop right on the container. I haven't eaten of it yet, but
we will soon enough I'm sure. I'll post a photo of the container as a
best misuse of food when the wife returns and brings the camera home.

I've once seen someone fry an egg on an aluminium exhast manifold heat
shied and eat it! The only modifications were straightening out the
heat shield so that the liquid egg would not run off, and
disconnecting the electric radiator fan so that the liquid egg would
not blow away. We should not give him any ideas.
