Regarding OS for digiKam

[Swati Lodha]

Hello.

digiKam is not properly functional on my system. So I plan to format and system and build it again.

Would it okay to use Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu (my current Linux distro)? (since digiKam uses many K packages and libraries)

Regards

Swati

I run Digikam in xubuntu.  When you install it lots of kde libraries
are pulled in, but it works fine.

Mine is Mageia Linux, Cauldron currently (next release 6).

This Linux box integrate very well KDE technologies. The guy who package Plasma and KF5 and Qt5, release also digiKam tarballs source code !

So digiKam is very well integrated.

But Mageia 5 is old now and use a non stable KF5 release. This is why i work on beta version of Mageia.

So, i cannot recommend Mageia 6 for you. The system can be unstable in time when update is processed.

Hello Swati,

I use digiKam on Ubuntu and it works nicely. It installes a lot of KDE
packages as dependencies, though. If I understand the developers
correctly, the dependencies will be much reduced in the next/a future
version. But if the amount of installed packages does not bother you,
there is no problem with digikam on Ubuntu.

Cheers,
Joram

For Kubuntu 16.04 you need to add the repository of phillip5 https://launchpad.net/~philip5/+archive/ubuntu/extra

And then install digikam5.

That works quite fine for me with my image database from digikam 4.

Best regards
Christian
