D700 is recognised on connecting, but "Failed to connect to camera".. etc. when Import is selected. I have checked dependencies using : cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99synaptic apt policy digikam apt recommends digikam none missing. There is no storage device setting on the D700 so selecting D700 PTP mode (in DK) makes no difference. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select Import from auto-detected Nikon D700 2. 3. Actual Results: Red banner saying "Failed to connect to the camera. Please make sure it's connected properly and turned on" Expected Results: Nice pictures to import ! Many thanks for any help offered. I'm not an expert in Linux but can follow most simple instructions.
Nikon and PTP want mean Gphoto2 driver is user to communicate with the camera. Gilles Caulier
Thanks for your reply but Gphoto2 is installed already.
sure installed, else digiKam cannot be use it... but the gphoto2 CLI tool is able to manage the Nikon camera as well ? Gilles Caulier
Gphoto2 --auto-detect is able to find the D700 on USB 006,005 PTP mode. I'm very new to Linux so I'm not great at using the Terminal unless I'm given the commands ! It feels like DigiKam is not able to access the port. Many thanks.
This file still valid using digiKam 5.0.0 ? Gilles Caulier
I'm using DigiKam 4.14.0 with KDE 4.14.13 if that's what you are asking. Thanks.
This problem still reproducible using last DK 5.4.0 bundle ? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWlRJenM Gilles Caulier
Yes, unfortunately. Thanks.

How did you perform the test ? The 5.4.0 AppImage bundle use last libgphoto2 2.5.11 released few days ago. Nikon D700 driver is a gphoto2 one. What do you see on the console as debug statement when you try to be connected to camera ? Gilles Caulier
Dear Gilles, I'm sorry, but I cannot understand how to connect AppImage with DigiKam. This is a bit out of my league. Nothing has updated my libgphoto2 and the latest version I can find online is 2.5.10-3. I will leave this for a while until I have gone through the Forums to see if I can understand what to do with AppImage. Many thanks.

No AppImage in a Linux bundle for application. libgphoto2 2.5.11 is included inside... You have nothing to install on your computer. All the dependencies required to run digiKam are inside. That all... https://www.digikam.org/node/761 The AppImage is and executable. just run it on a console, and you will see all debug statements, as a system based application. Gilles Caulier
Note : the link to download DK AppImage bundle is this one : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWelRJenM Gilles Caulier
Dear Gilles, Thank you for all your help. I uninstalled DK 5.3.0, went to the link you gave me, downloaded and installed DK 5.4.0. Libgphoto2 is still 2.5.9-3 and I still get the same error message. What am I doing wrong??

Help/Components Info from digiKam menu must said libgphoto2 2.5.11. The bundle do not install anything on your system. Your libgphoto2 from your system will still here as well... run the bundle in a console and give me the backtrace. Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 102440 [details] Install Results.docx I'm sorry, I don't know how to do that. I tried to install libgphoto2 2.5.11 but package manager still shows 2.5.9-3. I have attached the install dump from the terminal. I don't want to take up any more of your time, you've been very kind by trying to help me, but I don't have a deep knowledge of Linux.

Stop imediatly (:=)))... Read well my previous comments : YOU DONT need to install anything on your system to run the AppImage bundle. Download the AppImage bundle on your computer, somewhere in your account. Make the file executable and start it as well from a console. That all. The bundle is an archive which will be decompressed in memory as a virtual file system. In this archive you have all shared libs that digiKam need to run. Also digiKam executable is also in the bundle of course. Running the bundle == run digiKam from the bundle. It's simple simple simple. The libgphoto 2.5.11 is already in the bundle and digiKam will use it. Alll system libraries are not use in the bundle. If something is broken on your computer (or is badly packaged), this will not perturb digiKam run time. Voilà... You know all the stuff now... Gilles Caulier
I found the answer. The camera has to be UNMOUNTED for DK to work ! Now we can all get some sleep.
