Darktable doesn't start in PCLOS LXDE
« on: September 08, 2011, 03:28:55 AM »
This is a bit of a mystery.

Darktable works perfectly on my new PC loaded with PCLOS KDE. But although it installs on my old PC in LXDE, the program fails to start.

I haven't got the expertise to sort this out. Can anyone help ?

Thanks.

May want to consider a Package Request to update Darktable as a new version was released a little over a week ago.

http://darktable.sourceforge.net/

we released version 0.9.2, with a few bugfixes on top of release 0.9.1. this is a new point release in the stable branch thus there are no new features, just

updated translations
tiling for memory hungry operations and as workaround for old opencl 1.0 drivers
new color matrices and white balance presets
a lot of stability issues have been resolved
a lot of performance improvements (more sse code, better opencl code)

========

The 0.9 release has the following new features

run-time switchable opencl to exploit all the power of your GPU whenever you decide to install the driver

many new plugins, including a spot removal tool, better denoising (on raw pixels and non-local means) and many more

blend operations, overlay your plugin only 20 percent if you want
spot removal tool
low light vision tool
non-local-means denoising (relatively fast for nlmeans, but still slow)
first part of the google summer of code project already merged
framing plugin (adds postcard borders to match given aspect ratio)
tonemapping a lot faster now
changed images come with the darktable|changed tag

PCLinuxOS 32bit KDE 4.10.1; kernel-3.4.11-pclos1.bfs & 64bit 3.2.18bfs; NVidia GeForce 8400GS 1GB 310.19 driver
