[Digikam-users] 2.9 compiling woe on F16: QtKOAuth??? (plain text)

[J Albrecht]

Hi Stuart,

I hope that you don't mind me writing to you via this address but, since 
this isn't a DigiKam issue (and I wonder if you might be able to provide 
some guidance) I thought that it would be better this way...

I'd be happy to install F17 yet it always hangs from the Live USB 
because apparently the proper drivers aren't installed. I spent all of 
last week on the 'net, trying to resolve this issue. In the end, I went 
back to F16.

Very basic question ahead: So, how can I ensure that the functional 
driver that I'm using now will be the one that the Live USB refers to? 
Is there a risk of it conflicting with the new kernel used by F17? Which 
driver is your machine using (Proprietary or, OpenSource)? Can I somehow 
load these drivers from the command line prior to the Live USB 
attempting to start the GUI (but hanging miserably prior to that point)?

Many thanks in advance if you can point me in the right direction.
