[Solved] Failing to download photos from CIFS

and how did you define “unlimited”? I ask like this, because “Dr. google” told me, the HISTSIZE just need to be eliminated!?! Or I got something wrong…

You are great!!!
I still have errors, but the right hint came as well. Below you can see, ccache makes me headaches, as usual it is not meant to be used by normal users. I’ll fix that later, Now have to go to the office.

I wish I’d have seen that errormessage earlier :slight_smile:

I have the following:

Then I did, as you suggested:

$ pip install --user gphoto2
Collecting gphoto2
 [...]
    ccache: error: Failed to create temporary file for /home/Datengrab/tmp/ccache/tmp/widget_wra.stdout: Permission denied

@robertvalik

Thank you so much! I made it…
temprarily disabled ccache and update sudoers and all fine… It worksa

Come back to my HISTSIZE question. Is it just HISTSIZE=0 ??? (sometimes =0 disables and somtimes it means unlimited…)…

Again thanks for everything

@Claes it works!!! You probably may also like RPD

0 means disabled. -1 should be unlimited (I have 99999999 for some unremembered reason).

And congrats on the working RPD! :slight_smile:

Didn’t try it out yet, but using digikam just for downloading the fotos, that was a little OTT :smiley:

@AxelG @robertvalik the install.py in 0.9.17 should now run better on GenToo. But you still need to figure out the dependencies yourself.

dear @damonlynch

Thanks a lot. Didn’t try 0.9.17 yet, as I have successfully installed 0.9.16 already but even there, for the very relevant things the script asked me to install via my repository and the rest I installed acc. to your documentation, as far as available in my repos. Currently runs great and hundred times faster than digikam, which is, as we have the saying, shooting with a canonball to a bird…

A bit tricky is the installation as user, that is a very rare case in gentoo and hence the system behaves a bit “stiff” …

Dear @damonlynch,

sorry for late reply…

As in-app update didn’t work on my side for 0.9.17 finally I used the new installer with --force-this-installer (due to former experience) and it worked like a charm.
Thanks a lot!

I’m glad to hear worked out. One note, however: there is no need to use --force-this-installer. All that does is stop the default behaviour of the installer checking to see if the tarball has a newer version of the installer. By default, if there is a newer version, that newer version will be run instead.

Thanks again.
Yes, understand. I got used to it, as it was necessary with the hand modified installer acc. to @robertvalik 's “trick”. There it happened, that the internal installer was not modified and then again failed :slight_smile:
