Linux Mint install

[Chuck Pergiel]

Yes, now that I have a 64-bit OS, Digikam installs and runs.

The Tool Tips are almost illegible: white text on a yellow-ish backrgound.
Found the place where you can configure tool tips and it mentions the font,
but there doesn't seem to be anyway to actually change it.

Tried the digiKam hanbook, but it tells me

Could not launch the KDE Help Center:


Could not find service 'khelpcenter'.
