Ubunt 14.10 comes with version 3.8.6 that works much better so either install it from Ubuntu 14.10 or backport it some how.<br><br></div>/Philip<br><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Dec 13, 2014 at 9:20 AM, Tom Rank <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tom@literaryconnections.co.uk" target="_blank">tom@literaryconnections.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi<br>
<br>
Version 3.5 of Digikam on Ubuntu 14.04 crashed too often for my liking, so I hoped that an upgrade to a newer version would help. Version 4.0 runs fine on my Linux Mint laptop (with a small photo collection) so I reckoned that an upgrade on my desktop might be an improvement.<br>
<br>
I've just completed a fresh install of Linux Mint 17.1, which runs fine, and installed Digikam Version: 4:4.0.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~<u></u>ppa2. I've put my large photo collection (about 300 GB) in Pictures.<br>
<br>
First run routine says images will be in:<br>
/home/tom/Pictures<br>
<br>
That's correct (but any attempt to browse elsewhere leads the setup window to vanish and Digikam stops)<br>
<br>
Scanning collections was very quick (too quick, I thought) - but then nothing. Digikam didn't run, no crash report, nothing.<br>
<br>
Run Digikam again: same quick scan of albums, then nothing.<br>
<br>
I can easily upgrade to a more recent version - version 4.0.0 is the default for Mint 17.1, which is based on Ubuntu 14.04 (though 14.04 is stuck at 3.5). Should I try to add an additional PPA to install a later version?<br>
<br>
Please can anyone help? I've found Digikam a really useful program for managing a growing photo collection and now feel lost!<br>
<br>
(Yes, I did first try to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10 - but for some reason my hardware didn't like it: Mint 17.1 installed without a hitch)<br>
<br>
Thanks!<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
