Kubuntu's Kamera
Apart from my monitor issue with Ubuntu I’ve also had Camera issues. With Debian GNU/Linux I install the gphoto2
package and I can extract the photos from my Canon Power Shot A75 on the command line, no problem. Kubuntu comes with KDE’s kamera
package, but when that opens up my digital camer is a window it says:
An error occurred while loading system:/media/camera/camera/camera:
Unknown error
Bad parameters
with no hint where to adjust the parameters, I tweaked things for a couple of hours, nothing. I was happy with this, I was just going to uninstall kamera
and install gphoto2
and use the command line. However, even though kamera
uses the libgphoto2-2
, the gphoto
command line package was not included in the default repository, just the library. Reading the Ubuntu forums implied it stould be there, but using apt-cache
found nothing.
This just might be the red card for Kubuntu.
