4.12.0 is a really older version (more than 3 years ago). Please test with current 5.9.0 pre release Linux universal AppImage Bundle available here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier
Tried V 5.9.0 as suggested. Scanning now works OK. But manual face naming, editing and auto face recognition are a disaster! Features that worked perfectly in V4.12 are now simply rubbish. I am building a list of problems and will submit as a bug under V5.9.
manual face naming, editing and auto face recognition work fine here. Please open na new file in bugzilla to explain where is the problem. Gilles Caulier
Hello, I find I am running V7.5 and I also have V6.0 installed :-( Can you advise how to uninstall the V6.0 copy? I have searched but cannot find a way to o it. I will then test again using V7.5 Many thanks.
Hi, If you have installed using a native package, well the package manager must do the job. Anyway, the AppImage linux bundle that we provide can be used as well. Nothing is installed and it run in a chroot env. Backup your database first or use another account to prevent possible dysfunction. The current digiKam 7.6.0 pre-release bundle is here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Best Gilles caulier
I have uninstalled both V6 and V7.5 because V7.5 would not run after V6 was uninstalled. Have tried a Snap install - does not run. Have tried an Appimage install of V7.5 from your website. I have the file in a folder and it is marked as Executable. Click on it - nothing happens. What have I done wrong? Thanks for your help.
1/ use the current AppImage 7.6.0 pre-release. https://files.kde.org/digikam/ 2/ run the AppImage executable from a terminal, and look the message printed. Gilles Caulier
OK, I made the V7.6 file Executable and run it, got lots of errors: digikam: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found digikam: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found I tried to install these but get: E: Unable to locate package GLIBC_2.28 E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'GLIBC_2.28' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'GLIBC_2.28' E: Unable to locate package GLIBC_2.28 E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'GLIBC_2.28' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'GLIBC_2.28'
Well the binary compatibility of your system with the AppImage bundle is broken. Your system use a kernel/glibc too old. Gilles Caulier
Thank you Gilles, Now I have a good idea what to do! I am running Mint 19.3 with the latest kernel: 5.4.0-97 so I guess I have to upgrade to Mint 20.x if I want to run Digikam 7.6. Thanks again, Bob
Hi Gilles, It has taken me a long time to get updated to Mint 20.2, I had lots of difficulties and finally had to do a clean install. Everything is now reinstalled and I have been able to test the original fault with DigiKam. I have run this test: 1.Scan collection for faces 2. Detect Faces 3. Whole album collection 4. Skip images already scanned 5. Fast Accurate =100% 6. Work on all processors 7. Run detection Digikam runs to the end of the job and completes correctly. Many thanks, Bob
Thanks for the feedback Bob... Gilles
