[Digikam-users] Digikam 4.0 won't run on Linux Mint 17.1: vanishes after album scan

[Mick Sulley]

Hi Tom,

I am running DK 4.5 on Mint 17 Qiana 64 bit and it seems to be fine.

PPA's
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu trusty 
main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu trusty main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu trusty main

Synaptic lists digikam as 4:4.5.0-trusty~ppa1kde414

Let me know if there is anything I can tell you about my system.

Cheers
Mick
