Description Rufus Laggren 2006-04-02 04:17:41 UTC
Version:           0.8.1 (using KDE 3.4.2 Level "b" , SUSE 10.0)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15.8-default

Fuji DX-10 camera (old, serial connection)
IBM TP- T23, 1.1ghtz, 250MB ram, 40gh drive

With a 2MB SmartMedia chip app works OK.

With a 16MB SmartMedia chip, the following occurs:

Camera can be set up in "Add Camera". Then it tries to connect and load pics. The Status displays "List folders" then "List files in /..." The spinner revolves for about 15 seconds, then the app completely disappears. The camera displays the pics fine (on the LCD).

Happens every time.

Serial camera are hands by Gphoto2. Sounds like a Gphoto2 problem. 

Have you a backtrace runing digiKam under gdb (if its crash of course)

I'll have access to that machine in about a week. I'm
very familiar with PC's but haven't used the tool you
mention (sorry). I'll run as described if you can
provide a brief procedure. The machine runs Sues10
(default + few multimedia tweaks from GEMReport) which
has most of the likely tools available. 

I can run it in a box from the prompt easily enough or
possibly under a debugger. However, I gave up
programming 20 years ago and I don't want to compile
the app (this is a machine I "watch over" for an old
friend and she's prickly about messing w/it); also, I
haven't compiled under Linux for about 5 years and
wasn't happy w/the process even back then. Time is
also an issue.

Rufus,

This crash still reproductible using digiKam/DigikamImagePlugins 0.9.0-RC2 and Exiv2 0.12 ? 
 
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Rufus,

is this crash still reproducible using digikam 0.9.2-beta3, exiv2 0.14 
and a fresh update of libgphoto2 ?

Many thanks in advance for any feedback!

Comment 5 Rufus Laggren 2007-06-08 00:19:03 UTC
Arnd,

I'm sorry, I can't help here. That camera has been
retired to a shoe box somewhere safe (where I can't
find it); we're using and old HP camera at the moment
with a card reader. IIRC when the HP was originally
acquired we plugged into the USB port and digicam ran
it OK. I could verify that if you like (I think - have
to see if the cable somewhere find-able).

Nice to know people do follow up on the applications.
Thanks for your efforts.

Rufus

Comment 6 Arnd Baecker 2007-06-09 12:14:44 UTC
Hi Rufus,

well, if the HP did work with digikam, I would be surprised to
see it not working anymore (so I don't think you should
spend any time on this ...)
Maybe the original problem Fuji DX-10 is gone now.
If you don't use that camera anymore and can't find it easily,
I am not sure if it is worth the effort to check this.
As there are also no further votes for this bug by other users,
which indicates that no one else has (or had) this problem, 
I would suggest to close this bug and leave it for good.
What do you think?

Best, Arnd
Comment 7 Rufus Laggren 2007-06-10 04:26:20 UTC
You're right. The bug isn't relavant anymore, so
better to kill it and devote available time to current
items.

Regards, Rufus
