KDE 4.3.0 and Digikam 10.0

Hallo,
I'm new here because before KDE 4.2 I had only a few problems using digikam.
Under 4.2 I was very distressed because of flickering thumbnails. So I hoped
there would be an end when I'm using KDE 4.3.
Yesterday I installed Kubuntu 9.04 again and upgreaded to KDE 4.3.0. First at
all I stored my files and copied it later back. But I cannot see any picture.
So I tried some variations, for example starting Digikam with an empty
directory, ore copying the complete content in a directory and then starting
Digikam. No sucess.
What could I have done wrong?

I had this problem in Debian and recompiled Digikam againts KDE4.3.
Today, a new version of the digikam-package became available in Debian
that was built against 4.3.

So check whether the version of the Digikam-package you have installed
was compiled before the 4.3 release, then it is likely that you have to
recompile it yourself or wait for an updated Ubuntu package.

Greetings,

Michael

You, nothing. Kubuntu did. Yes, I know, we should be one, happy, Open Source
family and avoid harsh words, but when I see how many people were affected by
this and causing them distress - "I lost my photos!"...

Due to kio-slaves architecture  they have to be *very* binary compatible.
Kubuntu didn't recompile digiKam and dependencies against kdelibs they
distribute and this is the effect.

How I can compile it?

(With no digiKam, and kflickr without thumbnails too (for months ago
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=451034 ), my Flickr uploads
are blind at this moment %-)

In fairness, these items (I thought) are *supposed* to be ABI compatible
between kdr-4.x releases.

Make sure you have sources-lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list (take
your lines starting with "deb", duplicate them and make them start with
"deb-src") and then go to an empty directory:

as root:
# get build dependencies:
apt-get build-dep digikam

as user:
# get the sourcecode:
apt-get source digikam

#go into the digikam-... directory
# build the package (can take 30 minutes or so):
debuild -uc -us -b
cd ..

as root:
# install the packages you just created:
dpkg -i *.deb

If you run into trouble, google for a howto on building Ubuntu packages.

Good luck,

Michael

Hmm, I'm probably affected by this as well...

But it might help if this was communicated to the responsible person who
provides the 4.3.0 build in a ppa for ubuntu. A simple measure would be
to add the digikam packages, rebuilt against 4.3.0, to that repository.
Not the most desirable, but since digikam and kde are part of one big
family (in my view anyway), this would not be too strange either...

If I understand it correctly (my german was never very good), it says to
add the following lines to the /etc/apt/sources.list file and run
apt-get update/apt-get upgrade as root (or sudo of course).

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/experimental/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/experimental/ubuntu jaunty main

NB, this will get you digikam 1.0.0-beta1

Cheers

Simon

To be fair I think they finally added proper packages.

I've noticed a small bug when deleting photos on my Canon EOS 350D.
Every few files, it stops and tells me that it could not delete the
file. However, when I OK the messages and eventually check, all the
files were deleted as they should be.

Now, as it works as intended, it's just a minor bug, but it becomes
somewhat annoying when you have to click OK on 1000 messages when you
delete 5000 files. I've resorted to just reformatting the card in the
camera instead, but it would be nice if deleting files was possible
without getting carpal tunnel syndrome.
