Note: Title is wrong, I am not using 13, I am using Linux Mint Debian XFCE and I can't get Kodak EasyShare camera to function the way it was designed to work like it did in Linux Mint 11. Easyshare with the loading dock should detect after the download button on the dock is pushed. I have tried many downloads in synaptic such as Gimp, G Photo, Rapid photo etc, but none auto detect the camera when I push the button on the dock. The purpose is ease of use and a tick box to delete the photos in the camera when finished downloading to make my life easier. I am working with Kodak EasyShare KDX4330 and Kodak EasyShare M753. I lost total camera recognition after deleting the various photo software programs but I discovered some settings in Linux Mint XFCE to bring it back.
I got my camera back by going to: Menu / Settings / Removable Drives and Media Then I made selections to mount. Now when I push the button on the camera dock I get a pop up that says it recognized a camera. This is a step forward but I still must manually select download buttons in Picasa then I must pick up the camera, turn it on then delete pictures on my camera. Still not automated, although with the help of a friend I tried out 'shotwell', it's in my repository, easy download and comes with a clickable icon.
Shotwell is semi-automatic at this point. The way my camera and dock is supposed to work is that when I push the dock button it opens the software. Then when I download the pictures then the software deletes the photos from my camera. At present, shotwell when not already open does not activate when I press the dock button, but when I open shotwell then it recognizes me pushing the button, it offers to download (or upload) the pictures, I agree to do that then it asks me if I want to delete the photos on the camera, I select yes and it deletes the photos on the camera, this makes me happy LOL.
Supposedly shotwell has cropping capability as described in their website, I haven't found how to do that yet but if I can crop in shotwell then I won't need Picasa. I also want to note that it's very possible F-spot and many other software that I had tried would have worked for me if I had first discovered the settings mentioned above. I think it may be the settings that made shotwell work and now I am too worn out to go back, reinstall them and and try them with my new settings. I'll work with shotwell for now to see if I want to keep it.
Thanks so much for all who have assisted me. You mentioned; 'I'll work with shotwell for now to see if I want to keep it' Give it a go (Shotwell) and see if you like it. You said; 'Supposedly shotwell has cropping capability as described in their website, I haven't found how to do that yet but if I can crop in shotwell then I won't need Picasa.' This is just a matter of trial and error.Play around with the app a bit and it might just become apparent. You should be able to click on the outer edges of the picture and the application should show you were to drag to your preferred location to crop. Right.you won't need Picasa if you can get it working in Shotwell; I follow you on that; got it- I stick with Paint Shop Pro; GIMP and F-Spot because that's what works for me. Every Artist has his/her own preferences and techniques.
Over time you'll develop a system that no one will understand but it will work fabulously without flaws- My Kodak Easy share camera is nice but in the future I think I'm gonna go with a digital Nikon. The newer camera's will pick up my Oil Painting's with a lot less hassel on my part. (Adjusting the easel each and everytime etc.) BTW, if your looking.some of the newer digital camera's are pretty pricey!
The new Nikon 16.2 megapixels is: Compare Sale: $549.99 Reg. Price: $799.99 You Save:$250.00 Anyway: Best of luck on deciding your preferences. Your very Welcome; Zpod and 'Happy Thanksgiving' to you!
I just installed Linux Mint 17 (MATE) on an old laptop and everything works amazing, however I can't seem to get it to connect to my WiFi network. All my other computers can get access, plus, before when the laptop has Windows XP, it could also find and connect.
Is there a way to check if it's even detecting the correct network? If so, how would I set up a proper connection to the network? There is nothing wrong with my network nor the laptop, so it must be Mint's fault. Edit: Output of iwconfig: lo no wireless extensions. Eth0 no wireless extensions. Output of lspci -nn grep 0280: 02:04.0 Network controller 0280: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 AirForce One 54g 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller 14e4:4318 (rev 02).
Applies to: Linux Mint 17.3 Because of an apparent bug, if you're using a Broadcom based WiFi card (such as BCM4321) on this edition of Mint, you need an internet connection already established, either from cable all by using an Atheros based USB Wifi dongle. At least this is so, if you attempt to install from a USB memory stick, made from an ISO using. What should happen is that you get a screen under driver manager that look like the picture below, then you select the bcmwl-kernel-source and Mint should download and install the new kernel-driver from the USB memory and after reboot it should just work. This does not happen as the driver manager insists on network connection.
So instead find an alternative connection and install using driver manager. In addition, please note that on some laptops (especially HP) there may be a manual WiFi switch. For some reason, even when on it is starting of as off, so you need to toggle that switch. You can check this status (if the drivers are properly installed) with: # rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes Then, once you've toggled, you should get something like: # rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no If for some reason, it would show as soft blocked, you can run: $ sudo rfkill unblock 1 $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart.
