Marvelous Absolutely marvelous. Not.<BR>
<BR>
Whereas digiKam was finally working that way that I wanted it to, today after a update from the PPA that I had used, it has all gone to hell in a hand basket. Something seemed out of the ordinary as soon as the "daily hint" appeared. Well, it didn't really appear at all, since the dialogue box was content-less. And all thumbnails had disappeared. Furthermore, it seems that my nvidia stuff is now acting up as well: The Panel drop-downs remain on the screen after being activated. <BR>
<BR>
I now have a "dead" digiKam 1,7.0.<BR>
<BR>
<B>Belatedly, I just read Sputnik's warning not to use Phillip Johnsson's repository <A HREF="http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/556">http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/556</A> </B><BR>

Yup, I've gotten myself into a fine mess. I suppose that I need to dump everything (after backing-up my Home directory to an external source, right) and start from Absolute Ground Zero, right? I am utterly LIVID (at myself). <BR>
<BR>
So, can anybody give me some directions as to how I should Nuke my dual-boot box and start over? However, if I do this, I'll just find myself right back where I started: Trying to compile my own version of digiKam. Bloody hell <IMG SRC="cid:1293028252.7021.15.camel@hevii-NtBk-1" ALIGN="middle" ALT="X-(" BORDER="0"> Should I try a different distro all together? I know that it's a personal preference but, which one is recommended?<BR>
<BR>
As many would probably be happy to hear, I'm seriously considering tucking my tail between my balls and skulking back to Windoze.
