gphoto2 - digiKam 4.14.0 cannot download photos from my PTP camera in Kubuntu 16.10 - Ask Ubuntu


ubuntu 16.10/kubuntu 16.10 ship photo management program digikam 4.14.0.

digikam 4.14.0 can detect ptp camera (canon powershot g1 x); camera listed under "import -> cameras -> xyz". when click on camera name nothing happens. when run digikam console can see error message failed detect camera gphoto2 solid information.

digikam 4.12.0 (shipped kubuntu 16.04 lts) used open new window previews of pictures stored on camera.

for reason digikam kubuntu 16.10 built without library libgphoto2 , because of ptp cameras not supported.

until digikam supports ptp cameras again gtkam can used instead.

a way check if ptp cameras supported build of digikam using check shared object dependencies of digikam binary command:

ldd /usr/bin/digikam | grep gph 

the digikam binary inside digikam_4.12.0-0ubuntu7_amd64.deb has following matches:

$ ldd digikam | grep gph     libgphoto2_port.so.12 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgphoto2_port.so.12 (0x00007fadff8dd000)     libgphoto2.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgphoto2.so.6 (0x00007fadff658000) 

the digikam binary inside digikam_4.14.0-4ubuntu6_amd64.deb has no matches:

$ ldd digikam | grep gph $ 

a bug report available on launchpad.
