Hello, Same than Serguei for me, the folder .cache/shotwell had bad permissions : d---rwxrwx 2 amael amael 4,0K juil. 6 2013 shotwell/ The timestamp is over two years ago so it might be a very old bug that left over the folder in this state.

Hmm maybe solved?.. I had the same problem, so I started shotwell via console and I got some output there: snip L 20406 2014-09-27 11:55:05 [WRN] Debug.vala:95: Unable to open or create log file /home/dn/.cache/shotwell/shotwell.log L 20406 2014-09-27 11:55:05 [MSG] main.vala:385: Shotwell Photo Manager 0.18.0 L 20406 2014-09-27 11:55:05 [MSG] main.vala:43: Verifying database ...

But then I observed that my user didn't have the permission to write in ~/.cache/shotwell (see output), very strange. So i deleted ~/.cache/shotwell, restarted Shotwell, did an import again and then it worked successfully. So - Make sure your user *can* write import destination (~/Pictures by default), chown that - Make sure your user *can* write ~/.local/share/shotwell/data AND ~/.cache/shotwell, chown'ing or possibly delete so it gets re-created.. Also LTS 14.04 on AMD64 with Shotwell 0.18.0.. Does that help others maybe? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to shotwell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1287594 Title: Import fail with error message about photo library not being writeable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/1287594/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1287594] Re: Import fail with error message about photo library not being writeable
I'm seeing the same error on my machine, 14.04, AMD64. Shotwell copies the photos to the library location, but fails to add them to the database or display them in the program. I've tried deleting the library location, changing it to default location of ~/Pictures, checked the permissions on the folders to be sure that they're 770. I've also checked the permissions on the library database and have deleted the database a few times to see if that's the issue. I've checked the photo.db file in ~/.local/share/shotwell/data folder, and the PhotoTable table is empty after each import. I've also tried turning off the Write tags titles and other metadata to photo files option and the rename imported files to lowercase option. This also had no effect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to shotwell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1287594 Title: Import fail with error message about photo library not being writeable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/1287594/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
