digikam for VL7

[rkonrad]

So perhaps I should wait until you finish building digikam 2.8 with the new kde?  Let me know when you think it's safe enough for me to try.  Thanks.

[hata_ph]

I have build digikam-2.8.0, any who want to try it you can get it from the untested repo...

32bit: http://vlcore.vectorlinux.com/pkg/untested/veclinux-7.0/x86/
64bit: http://vlcore.vectorlinux.com/pkg/untested/veclinux-7.0/x86_64/

PS: Remember to disable the untested repo once finish install digikam and don't run packages upgrade with the untested repo...

[rkonrad]

I'm afraid I got the same error message as in the last version of Digikam.

libdc1394 error: Failed to initialize libdc1394

  Meaning something about not able to move from database version 5 to 6 (from gui).
Also Chrome is now broken

[(chromium:28283): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'apps.gecko-mediaplayer.preferences' is not installed

When I opened up my system to the untested repo, did I also download the dependencies for Digikam from there as well?  I'm assuming so.  That repo is now removed.

[hata_ph]

do you have /dev/raw1394 in your system?

Remember to disable the untested repo

I don't see an "untested" repo in gslapt.

sledgehammer,

You have to manually add the untested repo to your slapt-getrc

modprobe raw1394
FATAL: Module raw1394 not found.

This is what I get when "modprobe raw1394" as root.

[rkonrad]

libraw1394 is installed on my system. 

[hata_ph]

rkonrad,

I assume your system have a firewire port...pls post your lspci and lsmod out...thanks...

PS: can you try run modprobe firewire-core in terminal as root?

[rkonrad]

modprobe firewire-core

rkonrad,
You do have a firewire port, right?

[rkonrad]

I don't know.  I'm not sure what I should be looking for.  I built the computer about 5-6 years ago.  Am I looking for a port off my video capture card?

[rkonrad]

I've used digikam off an older computer than my present one.

[hata_ph]

u connect your USB camera and start digikam, right?

[rkonrad]

I have not yet tried to upload images from my camera.  The first thing it wants to do is make a library out of the images already on my hard drive.  This is where it claims the error I've mentioned.  I can not manually import albums either.  I like digikam for a number of reasons, one in particular is that it does a duplicate search. (which it can't do with the database issue)
