camera problem

[sergius]

i installed kubuntu yesterday and some problems started immidiately, one of them is that i cant copy pics from my camera, when i load it it gives this error:

  Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
 klauncher said: Could not find the 'kio_kamera' plugin.

I'm guessing it's a packaging error, where kcm_kamera.so and kio_kamera.so are installed to the wrong location. (See Bug #1577379 "Wrong install path for kio_kamera.so and kcm_kamera.so" => "The Shared Library was not found")

IF so, then the (temporary) workaround given in the Bug Description might work for you.

You have to preface the commands with sudo, as you are working with root files.

same

Let's verify where those two files are at.

Type sudo find / -name kcm_kamera.so

Where does it say it's located; the full path?

Type sudo find / -name kio_kamera.so

Where does it say it's located; the full path?

[sergius]

sudo find / -name kcm_kamera.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/kcm_kamera.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/kcm_kamera.so

sudo find / -name kio_kamera.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/kio_kamera.so

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/kcm_kamera.so': File exists

File exists means the symlink is not needed - the file is in the correct place. I believe this bug was fixed.

[sergius]

still same

[Snowhog]

sudo find / -name kio_kamera.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/kio_kamera.so

This indicates that the command to create the link wasn't performed, or performed incorrectly (failed). It, like kcm_kamera.so, should be in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins, so I suggest your redo the command to create the link for it:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/kio_kamera.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/kio_kamera.so
