How Can I Set Default Photo Manager In Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS 64 bit.
Recently, everytime I now run Shotwell (which I got from Ubuntu Software Center), it starts auto-importing photos, then abruptly crashes.

I've used it for a couple years w/no problems like that.

I tried today removing it and reinstalling it with same problem.

I am new to Bash scripting.

I have a main directory called Photos which has many subdirectories like People, Places and Things. Each of these subdirectories is populated by other subdirectories and lots of JPG photo images.

The digital cameras name the files in a way that is difficult to manage with web hosting.

I would like to go to each directory and subdirectory and rename the photos 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc. so that I can use a simple XML template to access them by specifying only a hosting directory.

I tried to use the following script:

#! /bin/bash

cd /home/paul/test

find . -name "*.jpg" -print0 | rename -v 's/.+/our $i; sprintf("%d.jpg", 1+$i++)/e' * -vn

exit 0

It successfully renames all of the files in all of the directories, but it does not restart the numbering for each new subdirectory. So first it goes through Photos and renames the three JPG files there 1.jpg, 2.jpg and 3. jpg, and then it opens the first subdirectory People and names the three JPG files there 4.jpg, 5.jpg and 6.jpg. Next it moves to the next subdirectory and continues sequential renaming until it is done.

I want it to restart sequential renaming with each new subdirectory, so that after renaming the three JPG files in Photos to 1.jpg, 2.jpg and 3.jpg, it moves to the first subdirectory and renames the JPG files there starting with 1.jpg again.

That way I use the links 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc in the XML template and just change the directory name to download the photos from the web.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi guys !
I need a good download manager for my Ubuntu 14.04 pc.For small downloads Mozilla's doing good.But for downloading big files like movies,I need a better option.So please suggest me a real good download manager like IDM in win****.But of course a free one.
Thanks in advance.....

Running Xubuntu 14.10 (and out of patience). Got a Nikon Coolpix L15 and hooked it up to my Dell Optiplex 170L via a USB cord. The camera icon pops up. I double click on it and get to the photos, but then the whole thing starts bogging down and I can't copy the photos and something crashes. (Not the whole computer.) I'll attach the report. (It's in two screenshots because it didn't fit in one.)

And when it bogged it also gave me an error message window with 'One or more applications are keeping the volume busy. (PID-0)'

And I thought it was kind of treating the camera as a usb drive. When I hovered the cursor over the camera icon it showed:

'Mounted in "gphoto2://[usb:004,002]/"

and it showed:

0 bytes left (0 bytes total)

And there was four photos and a video on the camera.

I checked and was able to download the photos and video on a Windows computer, so I don't think the issue is with the camera or the files.

Because of the 'volume busy' error message I closed out everything on the computer and was still getting the same messages when I tried to transfer.

It seems close to doing it. I can highlight a photo but then it all bogs down and crashes.

Hi,

Although I've been using linux several years back. I am not a fast learner so here goes a question I should understand long ago.

I have installed fresh Ubuntu 15.04 netinstall.

After that install xorg and windows manager.
Sound was working.
Then I wanted to check the mixer and I used to alsamixer, and strange the app was not there.
I have tried all alsa* binaries but none of them was installed.

How can I findout what sound system is running?

Thanks

hi,

what file manager is everybody using?
does it really matter...

cant find what the default file manager there is for centos 7
but it has dolphin installed as well but doesnt use it by default
im running gnome 3

i read that konqueror is good...is it mostly just preference

lastly

do most linux systems have components of kde and gnome installed by default...even if you arent using those desktops? cause i dont have kde desktop installed yet i read that dolphin uses kde.

In Windows, when a folder is right clicked, I can see the number of files and folders in that folder and the detailed size of the total of files and folders down to the byte. In Linux Mint when I do the same thing in the default file manager, it gives me a total nunber of "Items" and a size rounded to xx.x GB. Is there a file manager that will give me the same information as Windows does, or another way to get that information?

installed digiKam 4:3.5.0-Oubuntu 10 and dependent packages from Synaptic Package Manager.

Graphics/digiKam selected - no action

Operating system Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. (LUBUNTU)

I have used digiKam successfully in previous versions of Ubuntu.

(In your LQ tutorial you refer to using 'how-tos' -where are these?-and search for occurence of 'digikam' - have attempted this without success)

(Your tutorial suggests I introduce myself - I have used Ubuntu for many years but only in GUI. My Unix knowledge is near zero - whenever I attempt to understand descriptions in the forums I get stumped by acronyms and terms that are common to other Linux users)

I hope you can help.

hi experts

I got a bit of problem with the below situation:

Code:

root@kvm_host1:/mnt/nfs# virt-manager &
[1] 4663
root@kvm_host1:/mnt/nfs# X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

[1]+  Done                    virt-manager
root@kvm_host1:/mnt/nfs# su test
test@kvm_host1:/mnt/nfs$  virt-manager &
[1] 4679

As you can see, I ssh into my ubuntu host with user test, but during some nfs config I su into root, then try to launch virt-manager GUI via X11. Which obviously fails I guess since root wants to launch X11 session but I established the session as user test.

My question is this: Is there a way to stop this from happening? to allow my root to launch the GUI as well?

Thanks
