Thanks for the two suggestions. First, here's the error report when I ran Digikam 4.0.0 from a command line:<br>

I downloaded the two packages and tried to install the first - but got this error message (I was installing the amd64 package for my AMD64 system):<br>
<br>

Errors were encountered while processing:<br>
libsqlite3-0:amd64<br>
libsqlite3-0:i386<br>
<br>
So: do I need to install the i386 version as well, even though mine is a 64 bit system? Or do I ignore this and go on to install sqlite3_3.8.6-1_amd64.deb?<br>
<br>
Sorry - I don't pretend to be a super-user! But I do want Digikam to work - I've been reduced to using Shotwell and am missing a lot of features that I'd become used to in Digikam.<br>

Thanks for the reply.<br>

Sorry if I wasn't clear. When I completed the initial set up, Digikam<br>
appeared to start, and seemed to be scanning the albums - but only for a<br>
second or two, then the program vanished - no Digikam workspace, no icon<br>
on the task bar, etc. So I take that to be a crash, even though it<br>
doesn't open the error reporting window (as version 3.5 used to give me).<br>
<br>
As a temporary measure, I decided to set up Shotwell: it took about 8<br>
hours to scan and 'import' all my images. I don't expect Digikam to take<br>
so long, but 2 or 3 seconds doesn't seem right, especially when it<br>
doesn't then display anything.<br>
<br>
I did try to load libsqlite3-0 version 3.8.6 on Ubuntu 14.04: that gave<br>
me various warnings about incompatible programs - and didn't seem to<br>
work with Digikam. I tried an upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10 - but that caused<br>
me a significant graphics problem with my hardware, so I went for Linux<br>
Mint 17.1, which had no such problem. It's based on Ubuntu 14.04, but<br>
loads the more recent Digikam 4.0.0. I'll see if I can get a more recent<br>
version of Digikam and libsqlite3-0 running and report back - I realise<br>
now how much I'm missing Digikam!<br>

I don't really understand your problem. "Run Digikam again: same quick<br>
scan of albums, then nothing." What does "nothing" here mean that is<br>
your problem? As I understand it digikam doesn't crash on you?<br>
<br>
If you update Digikam (or even otherwise) from a PPA or other way I<br>
suggest that you make sure that you don't use sqlite3 3.8.2 that comes<br>
with Ubuntu 14.04 as that version is buggy with Digikam. So check which<br>
version of the package libsqlite3-0 you are using. Ubunt 14.10 comes<br>
with version 3.8.6 that works much better so either install it from<br>
Ubuntu 14.10 or backport it some how.<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
Version 3.5 of Digikam on Ubuntu 14.04 crashed too often for my<br>
liking, so I hoped that an upgrade to a newer version would help.<br>
Version 4.0 runs fine on my Linux Mint laptop (with a small photo<br>
collection) so I reckoned that an upgrade on my desktop might be an<br>
improvement.<br>
<br>
I've just completed a fresh install of Linux Mint 17.1, which runs<br>
fine, and installed Digikam Version:<br>
4:4.0.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~_<u></u>_ppa2. I've put my large photo<br>
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<br>
window to vanish and Digikam stops)<br>
<br>
Scanning collections was very quick (too quick, I thought) - but<br>
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<br>
default for Mint 17.1, which is based on Ubuntu 14.04 (though 14.04<br>
is stuck at 3.5). Should I try to add an additional PPA to install a<br>
later version?<br>
<br>
Please can anyone help? I've found Digikam a really useful program<br>
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<br>
reason my hardware didn't like it: Mint 17.1 installed without a<br>
hitch)<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Tom<br>
