digikam on Mageia 5 runs slow
Posted: Jul 19th, '15, 07:06I am not sure if this belongs on a digikam or Magiea forum as I am not sure where the problem is.
I have made a clean install of Mageia 5. By clean I mean on a brand new hard drive with no other drives on the system. Mageia 5 is the only OS installed. I use xfce configured to look like Gnome2.
digikam 4.8 is *sometimes* very slow to start. When I connect a camera it is *always* very slow to open the camera page. I have started digikam from a terminal and get the following messages:
At start:
After clicking on camera:
The latter message is repeated several times. Then I get
I have spent some time googling with keywords such as phonon, gstreamer, dfigikam, mageia but have not found a satisfactory explanation or solution. I have tried entering export $(dbus-launch) but it has not solved the problem.
I have compiled digikam 4.9 but it has the same problems. The cmake process cannot find qtgstreamer-devel and I cannot locate an rpm.
Firstly, is this a digikam or mageia issue?
Secondly, does anyone have a solution?
Thirdly, is there a non-kde photo management program that can index 10,000+ images? I use gimp for image processing so it is the indexing function that I need, As an aside I have been using xfce with a mixture of gnome and kde packages but have decided to eliminate as many kde apps as possible.
Thanks
