gPhoto Does Not start
Support knowledgebase (swiegra_gphoto)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 8.0
Symptom
You want to start gPhoto via the SuSE menu (graphics -> gPhoto ->
gPhoto), but it does not start when you click gPhoto.
Cause
SuSE Linux 8.0 contains gPhoto 2.0 that can be started by entering /usr/bin/gphoto2.
The entry in the SuSE menu refers to the previous version. gphoto2 is
a command line tool.
The package 'digikam' can be used as a graphical front-end.
Solution Options
- Install the package 'digikam' with YaST2. Start it, for example, by pressing Alt+F2, entering
digikam, and clicking "Execute". Use the wrench icon to access a configuration dialog.
- Start gPhoto2 directly from a console and the possible options will be displayed.
