Description Karen 2006-09-17 18:01:50 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4KDE 1.2)
Installed from:    00SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          Intell 
OS:                Linux

I go to Digikam, click on camera, click on the camera it detected, it says connecting to camera and then it shows crash handler. It shows this "This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash."  

(no debugging symbols found)
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".


what does this mean and how can i download my pictures from my camera without it doing this.  How do I download the software for my camera

Comment 2 Marcel Wiesweg 2006-09-17 18:49:21 UTC

Digikam crashed, but we cannot say why because all debugging information has been removed from your executable (which is usual for packages from your distributor)

To be able to locate the problem, we need more information.
First, which version of digikam are you using?
Please test with the 0.9.0-beta2 version (available at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42641&package_id=34800&release_id=447678 )
I dont know if there are packages for your distribution.
Alternatively, first try to update gphoto2, which might be the reason for the crash.
If it still crashes, compile 0.9.0-beta2 with debugging information (./configure --enable-debug) and post the backtrace from the crash handler.

How do I find out what version of digikam I am using
and how do I update gphoto2?

Comment 5 caulier.gilles 2006-12-12 09:21:34 UTC

Karen,

This crash still reproductible using digiKam/DigikamImagePlugins 0.9.0-RC2, Exiv2 0.12, and a fresh update of libgphoto2 ?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Karen,

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

Many thanks in advance for any feedback!

Comment 7 Arnd Baecker 2007-06-26 09:51:29 UTC

Closing this bug now. 
This does not mean it is invalid by itself, but
without updated information (with full debug gdb backtrace) 
using the current 0.9.2 version
it is not possible to find the root of the problem.

Please feel free to re-open if there is any new information.

Thanks a lot for your understanding, 

Arnd
