Linux Mint This forum is for the discussion of Linux Mint. Today I decided to install Mint 13 Mate which I have been playing with in VMWare. I installed the 'restricted' driver for the Broadcomm wireless card just as I had.

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!
If your machine is equipped with a Nvidia gpu and you want to make use of it to the fullest, you need to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers. Furtunately Linux Mint makes it easy to accomplish this. Unfortunately you need to now the following steps, since you otherwise might end up with an unusable system that just tells you that it couldn't load the right driver. Find out which driver you need - because nvidia sometimes decides to not include older cards in the newest driver versions, you need to find out if your card is still supported by the most recent driver (installed by the nvidia-glx package) or whether you might need to install a package with a specific version.
A little program called nvidia-detect helps you with this - open up a terminal window and installĀ it with the following command: sudo apt-get installĀ nvidia-detect - after the install start it by entering: sudo nvidia-detect - if it tells you that you need 'nvidia-glx' your card is still supported by the latest version and you can install the proprietary driver with the commands in the next step. If not replace nvidia-glx with the package nvidia-detect tells you to use 2. Install the proprietary Nvidia driver - for installing the driver, a little helper program to make it work and the nvidia configuration tool, open up a terminal and copy/paste the following: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig - THIS STEP IS CRITICAL: after the installation is finished execute the following command: sudo nvidia-xconfig - nvidia-xconfig creates a xorg.conf file that tells the kernel which driver to use. Other drivers don't need this config file anymore so it has to be created.
Also the installation of the driver ends with the message that the nouveau driver is still active and the easiest solution is to just reboot, without this step you'll end up with system without a graphical interface. If you are allready at that point, just login and enter sudo nvidia-xconfig now - done! Why a restart is mandatory - many things in linux can be done by just restarting a service, but everytime a new kernel is needed you actually have to restart - the proprietary nvidia driver installs a kernel module that has to be loaded on startup to be able to use the driver. If you watch the nvidia-glx install closely you can even see this part.
