Greetings all;

I've run out of patience with digikams inability to see existing
albums, or to create a new one. That is disabling its importing
from the camera, making me take the card out and put it in a
reader.

Questions to this list have not been helpful.

You said it :)! How about the answers?

They were from folks who obviously were not digikam users, so not all
that helpful. suggesting script based solutions. They meant well but did
not actually address the problem.

One item of note, there's very little I can run from a console that doesn't
log these two errors:
tk-Message: 17:10:28.754: Failed to load module 
"window-decorations-gtk-module"

Gtk-Message: 17:10:28.754: Failed to load module "colorreload-gtk-module"

but goes ahead and runs ok anyway. Searching for them in synaptic isn't 
fruitfull.
But I  have the feeling that fixing that will not  fix digikam. The 
error it spits out
on a console is pointing at the old install on /media/sda5 which I can't 
find a way to
 redirect to the present copy of that dir but on my /home raid10, which 
not mounted
in this boot because both are links to this raid10. Or something like 
that, but ALL the
album related buttons are ghosted, inactive, so no way to make a new 
album exists.

What mailing list do I complain on?

https://www.digikam.org/support/

But you do not neend to moan or complain. Act out of character
and request help in a reasonable way :).
At my age, that would indeed be out of character.  I subbed to their 
list above  so we'll

see what that might provide.

Thank you.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.

If digikam is punching your buttons - apt-get remove it and purge it.
There are always other applications to try. I know you prefer TDE
but you've had the issues with installing TDE.

Complaining about digikam to upstream developers may or may not be
helpful.

Digikam busted on bullseye.

[gene heskett]

Greetings all;

I've run out of patience with digikams inability to see existing
albums, or to create a new one. That is disabling its importing
from the camera, making me take the card out and put it in a
reader.

Questions to this list have not been helpful.

What mailing list do I complain on?

Thanks all.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
