This entry is invalid. Use 1.0.0 final release published few day ago. note: A report like this have been already seen there. Gilles Caulier Well, dear Gilles... I have spent about an hour to make this report useful. Installed packages, and wrote all I could. I find this comment you wrote very unfriendly and it makes me ask myself: should I ever try to send a crash report again? Please, explain to me, why is this report invalid, what is 1.0.0 final release I am supposed to use and how could I set back the little images I used to have for all folders on the left bar. And... I would be glad to make useful and valid reports in case of crash. As I am rather new in this reporting system... some more friendly welcome and support would do good to me. It is our common interest, I think, to have good programs what would not crash... so, what about being friendly and nice to each other? And... again: what may I do to assist better the developpers? Thanks. Have an excellent holiday season... and a happy 2010. Tamas It's not quite your fault, especially if you're unexperienced, but Ubuntu's. We have received dozens of bug reports, for one special crash almost 100 duplicate reports, for the beta5 version which is unstable and old. And that is only because Ubuntu chose to package the explicitly unstable and experimental version beta5 in its stable release. Please understand that we cannot spend time fixing bugs that have likely been fixed months ago. The stable version 1.0 has been released a few days ago. We strongly recommend to use that version and not beta5. Thanks, Marcel. Of course, I had no idea about all that... So, I am using an old version... and there is now a better, a stable one available. GREAT! Now... I would like to install the new version, the 1.0.0. I went to the page: http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download ... and at the Ubuntu package there is only the same "old" beta... How can the new version be activated easily (so, in a way what even I can follow and do... )?? The tarball description seems to be... rather complicated, isn't it? Is there a way from within DigiKam to upgrade? Or version check? Or... anything easy? Thanks a lot... and I am sorry I had sent the same report what many others had sent already before me... without knowing about it. Friendly greetings, Tamas Well, I have started to follwo the description... downloaded... and here I am with this error: light@mind:~/from-the-net/DigiKam/digikam-1.0.0/building$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=relwithdebinfo -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` .. -- The C compiler identification is GNU -- The CXX compiler identification is unknown -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found.

So, how may I continue?? Thanks, Tamas I think you need to install build-essentials on ubuntu and another bunch of other packages ending with -dev. But after you have installed build-essentials you should get a better error message from cmake. And please read README file to see all depencies... Gilles Caulier Tamas, You can find the released version (1.0.0) available for ubuntu here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/digikam Mark Hi Mark, THANKS a lot!!! Great! However, when I download... Package Installer says with red: Error: Breaks existing package 'showfoto' dependency digikam (= 2:1.0.0~beta5-1ubuntu1) WHAT TO DO WITH THIS??? Thanks Johannes and Gilles, too... If possible, I would like to install with the installer... Greetings, Tamas Tamas, If you do not wish to upgrade to lucid, then you must install required packages individually or you could upgrade to the karmic-backports listed above. But that the karmic-backports only has RC, not 1.0.0 final available. Mark Thanks, Mark being with me... Well I went to the page you gave to me: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/digikam and at the bottom I found this: Download digikam Download for all available architectures Architecture Package Size Installed Size Files amd64 7,580.0 kB 31760 kB [list of files] i386 7,596.0 kB 31392 kB [list of files] So, I went for the i386... what gave me the error code. Sorry, I have no idea what this means: "If you do not wish to upgrade to lucid"... What is lucid? And why would not I want to? I just followd the link you gave to me... and got an error code... May be on the page you gave me... I should download from somewhere else???? I find it rather complicated to get the new version of DigiKam... Is it only me? Or it is really complex and complicated? Or I just got used to simple installation with Ubuntu??? Anyhow... thanks again for all your help (you and all others, too... ) And I hope... it will work soon. (As I am a photographer ... I would love to work with the newest ans stable version...) Greetings Tamas Oh, I found it... The Lucid Lynx... the new version coming out in April 2010... :-) I would gladly use DigiKam from there! Tamas, Ubuntu ships with different versions of digikam at different times: http://packages.debian.org/digikam Unfortunately karmic (oct 09) was released with digikam 1.0.0-beta5 which has some serious issues and should of never been released by the Ubuntu team. TO make matters even worse, the crash was fixed shortly by the digikam team as 1.0.0-beta6, but the ubuntu team didn't upgrade and thus there are thousands of ubuntu karmic users who have the broken digikam 1.0.0-beta5 installed . Ubuntu have made a release of digikam 1.0.0-rc (release candidate) available via karmic-backports, which you could install on your system, but I wouldn't recommend that as there were fixes made between 1.0.0-rc and 1.0.0 final. Unfortunately ubuntu have only released digikam 1.0.0 in the lucid release/. As you have encountered there are some dependencies, such as showfoto which must be kept in sync. So I would recommend you also obtain the showfoto .deb for lucid and then install both packages. http://packages.ubuntu.com/showfoto As well as any other packages that are needed.. Personally I don't recommend ubuntu, I'm debian myself. Hello Mark, Thanks for the answer, again and again. I am lost... It seems to me that there is a tention between DigiKam and Ubuntu or between Debian and Ubuntu... what is... for me, rather sad. In the world of OpenSource software... would be so nice to do things together... without ... well... better to say: with respect and care. I am satisfied with Ubuntu. It works fine for me. Of course, I came from Windows... and I am very-very happy for the change from the MS world to the OpenSource world. Should I change to Debian? Why not... it is possible... however, today I live with ubuntu... and it seems to me a very powerful and friendly thing. It seems, that I still cannot install the stable version of DigiKam. How do other simple users do it? I have no idea... I downloaded showfoto, as you indicted... and I got the same red error message... Should I install both of them, even, if they have this red error messages? Will they be "happy" to find eachother afterwards? I do not dear to do to much, as I am still using the program... and, as a photographer... I need it to work with my thousands of images (ten or even hundred thousand of them). All help is welcome...

Yes I would install them both.
If it doesn't work out for your then you can go back to the old version.

Greetings! Thanks to all of you... At the Ubuntu forum I have got an easy solution from Philip ------ If you still use 9.10/Karmic and want to use the latest Digikam 1.0.0 (and kipi-plugins 1.0) then you could grab the packages from my repo: https://launchpad.net/~philip5/+archive/extra --------- You may read the story here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8616351#post8616351 And it WORKS fine! Good luck to all! I hope it is useful... Tamas *** Bug 250418 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 285665 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
