Ubuntu :: Camera Pictures In Natilus Not Updating / Get That?
Oct 15, 2010
Got a wierd one. Customer of mine has a digital camera that appears to mount just fine and can retrieve pictures fine. However, The thumbnail view of the pictures does not change when the old pics are deleted from the camera and new ones are put on.
If you mount the camera and click on one of the pics and open it in the default pic viewer it appears to be a different picture than what the thumbnail shows.
Now has anyone experienced a problem similar to this? Id love to hear how you got around this.
Customer is running Karmic Koala with all updates.
I plug my camera into my computer and a window pops that says a camera has been detected. There are two buttons, "Ignore" and "Import Photos". I click on "Import Photos" and nothing happens. I'm wondering if I can just navigate to a folder where I might find the pictures, kinda like /media/cdrom/ to get to a cd.
I have Fujifilm A850 camera and i wanted to know how to get it working with ubuntu 10.04 LTS Linux so i can upload all my photos,as when i plug it in screen comes on and goes off,it is cos aint compatable?cos it works fine on windows.
I have Fujifilm A850 camera and i wanted to know how to get it working with ubuntu 10.04 LTS Linux so i can upload all my photos. Basically the camera uploads the photos but i cannot view them for some reason,it wont let me but they appear as blank,yet my partner plugs her sony ericson phone in and it uploads and shows all of her photos i can not understand this as all photos are jpeg.
I'm trying to set up my parent's PC to automatically import pictures (in the background without any prompts)from the digital camera when it is plugged in via USB. And also to back up their Home/Pictures folder via ftp. Is there a way to automatically import pictures in the background without any prompts? I am using Deja Vu to back up via ftp and it seems to work fine. There is an option for daily backup, but I don't think I can pick what time of day it backs up. Is there a better option than Deja Vu?
Ubuntu 10.04. In order to get my photo application (digikam 1.2) to download photos off my digital camera/SD card I have had to configure Ubuntu not to 'mount' the usb connected camera when it is plugged into the pc. I can use digikam to download pictures off the camera/SD card into the pc. I'm having a problem when it comes to deleting the original pictures off the sd card/camera. Googling this problem it seems the issue is around Ubuntu only having read access to the SD card. It appears in windows world when an sd card is presented one has read/write access so things tend to 'work out of the box'.
In Linux/Ubuntu world I'm reading that digital cameras/SD cards do not (always?) work out of the box because you only have read access. If I close down digikam and launch nautilus I can see the camera/SD card but cannot write to it - I'm told I only have read access. I have also convinced my father-in-law to switch to Ubuntu but at the moment although he can download photos and view them I see no way of (ideally through digikam) of deleting the pictures off his camera/SD card.
I have overlooked some very important tools that would give me the information I'm looking for. What I'm trying to do is -
Plug in a USB camera find /dev/camera-pseudonym mount /dev/camera-pseudonym /camera cp * ~/pictures umount /dev/camera-pseudonym
and then work on adding this camera to /etc/fstab so that it will automatically mount to the usual place. I don't know how to find the pseudonym. I can, lsusb and see Bus 004 Device 009: ID 040a:05c1 Kodak Co. Digital Camera I can fdisk -l and not see any new partitions (which, with most USB devices with storage, I can usually see the partition listed in fdisk -l) After these two commands related to search FOR the pseudonym, I draw a blank and resort to manually searching /dev for things that may be useful.
This is difficult, though, because there are dozens of files named usb-something, and they're all very similar to one another, and not related to typical pseudonyms I'm used to (like /dev/usb[0-9], /dev/sd[a-z], etc) I would like to be able to find the /dev entry based on the ID 040a:05c1 because every USB devices I've tried has been listed by lsusb, and is accompanied by an ID number.How do I find the pseudonym in /dev for any usb device?
I have this problem, however the solution given there is outdated- There is no such menu entry (I tried to see if it was disabled, but it wasn't in the menu editor either).
So how would I do this in Karmic?
Edit: I found it. As a reference: Open Nautilus, go to Edit-> Preferences -> "Media" tab -> Photos -> Your choice.
I'm running 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4 and I'm trying to get my camera to work. DigiKam sees it and knows what it is but can't see or download any of the pictures on it. I'm wondering if there's some step or file that I'm missing.
Running Ubuntu 10.10 along side Windows7 on a 64-bit HP Pavilion dv7 Laptop. Everything works in Windows. Everything works in Ubuntu, except for 2 things.1) I can live with not being able to enable/disable wifi.) I cannot read photos from an SD card plugged into the laptops SD card reader. When I open the SD card in Ubuntu, I can see the file name, but the thumbnails show messed up pictures. Usually, the bottom half of the photo is solid green, and there are usually lines running through the photo, or it is divided into quadrants with one quadrant being ok, but the rest having the green and/or lines.I assume the driver for the card reader is not correct. Card reader works fine in Windows. So I have to reboot into windows, copy pictures from reader to a folder, then reboot into Ubuntu and I can see and open the photos just fine. Just cannot read and copy them from the card while in Ubuntu.
I was looking to iphone and i was surprised the quality of such tiny camera.
Is there any alternative camera for my laptop to have similar or much better then the one in iphone? So that i can use it from my laptop, but have very sharp HD quality with maximum megapixel + highest frame per second.
I have a 3dsp pci wifi card, and the last kernel it supports is Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32-(21-24) I want to update but dont want to accidentally update the kernal.
On several websites, such as WordPress and Facebook, when I go to upload pictures, in the window that pops up, all that I see is a big, empty box, even if pictures are in there. For example, let's say I navigate to my picture folder to choose a picture of my dog to upload. Neither the picture nor any of the other pictures in the folder will appear. Just a big, gray box, almost as if the folder were empty. Strangely, random pictures that I have downloaded from the web, such as one of Martin Luther that I have, show up. But even then, not all the pictures that I have downloaded!
This is perplexing to say the least!
Is this happening/has this happened to anyone before? Is it a bug in Ubuntu or have I neglected to download something important?
i decided to install ubuntu 10.4 and in the process i deleted my files (pictures).. i did not move from windows xp or 7. i was using ubuntu 9.10..please tell me there's a way to recover my pictures.
I need to copy an image from a pdf file to a open office word document. I click save picture or copy picture, and in both ways, the picture ends up a black square when opened or pasted.
It shows them only when loading but once loaded, pictures go bye-byeShot1: how it looks when loadedshot2: while loading (this was hard to take due to fast download speeds)
I have 8.04 installed on my laptop by WUBI that I don't use often it is no longer working because of a graphical error is it possible to get the pictures I want from ubuntu from windows or a live CD. If so where does ubuntu save files that I could access through windows.
How do I print 4 pictures to a page. I can't figure out what to use to do this. It's very annoying to have to use 8 sheets of paper when I could use but one
i decided to go ubuntu all the way in my laptop... it's already a week and freaking happy, however i'm new in linux so i wonder if someone can tell me how to add pictures to my iphone.
i can't even get that far on the ebay website. i've been using ubuntu on this computer for years, it all seems to be set up correctly, i have flash installed and can view videos, i have java installed and can view applets.go to url... and click the link on the top right that says sell. log in if you have to, enter a keyword, choose your category to sell in and go to the next page. on this page there's a picture section and the header says, "bring your item to life with pictures." next to it there's a link which allows you to show/hide options for where the picture comes from so you can upload one, link to a website, plus other options. i click the link to show the option for uploading a picture and it just brings me to the top of the page. each time i click that link it just brings me to the top of the page.
i thought maybe it was trying to open a popup window that got blocked but there's no notification in the url like there usually is, it just moves me to the top of the page and that's it.
If I want attach some images to e-mail or facebook, I can see just a names of files, usually numbers only. It is dificult to choose the right one, if I can not see prewiews. How can I do it?
I am using Open Office 3.1 and I am working on a presentation, that I have to give in march and I am wondering how to crop pictures after pasting them into the presentation. Could not find any way to do this yet.
I am preparing a poster using draw and impress. Everything go well till I save the file and quit the impress. When I open the previous prepared poster in impress, none of pictures embedded retrieved. I have also prepared a diagram using draw. There is no problem importing it into impress. The problem comes when I close the poster and re-open it in impress. It goes crazy. 1.png is before closing the impress and 2.png is after re-opening it.
I have a large collection of pictures, that are arranged in lots of directories such as pictures/june/001.jpg, pictures/july/005.jpg.I was wondering if it would be possible to move these pictures around so that they are also renamed to their parent folders name, such as moving picture/june/001.jpg to picture/june_001.jpg Is there an easy way to do this or will i just have to write a shell script?
when I first started with tbird version 3.0.5, under that version everything worked fine and attachments etc. downloaded, but tbird was automatically upgraded to 3.1 since then attachments don't download and pictures don't appear in emails.What do I need to do to correct this?
I have been having issues with my desktop background pictures overlapping.
