Greetings all;

I just took a pix of one of my projects to send to a friend, but
when I had installed digikam to download the pix from my camera,
going thru the usual steps to access the camera, which it did as
usual, but when I had selected the pix, and tried o dl it, the album
selector window was blanked, empty and even when I typed in the
full path to the desired directory, which has around 20G of pix
already in /home/gene/Pictures, there was no response to the
return key aother than the search bar being blacked, the album
window remains blanked and the ok on the lower right of that
album window remains ghosted.

IOW, I cannot download from the camera. How do I go about
troubleshooting this?

The shell I ran digikam from is reporting screens full of
missing this and that despite the installation of digikam
pulling in:
   0 upgraded, 261 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 273 MB of archives.
After this operation, 726 MB of additional disk space will be used.

Then when I run it, there are hundred of missing that and than lines
spit out in the shell I launched it from.  Its obvious to me there are
more kde dependencies missing, that just the 261 listed. I've tried to
install some of them by the names reported, but that universally does
not exit. And I'd druther not install the rest of kde, its not stable
for me.

Thanks all.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
I must be missing something here...

When I plug in my camera to a US port,  it shows up on the desktop,  at which point I can mount it.  Then I can access it and copy/move stuff to wherever,  using mc or whatever utility you like.  Why is some special program needed for this?
Probably the desktop Roy, I'm using xfce4.


Cheers, Gene Heskett.
