n900 images and videos problem
 
salam. i have a strange problem with my n900. this occured right after using my device with my pc in mass storage mode,also maybe i deleted few files which i think were something like .aptcache.

UPDATE:

try type this in xterminal:

sudo gainroot (I assumed you've got this rootsh installed, you can ignore this part if you want. I got used to do things as super user lol so this is my habit. But for you, you are a beginner therefore being as super user will harm your device than good. Stay away from Super User if you are a newbie to Linux. It's ver dangerous.)
cd /home/user/MyDocs
ls -A (You'll see a list of files, now try find DCIM.)

cd /home/user/MyDocs/DCIM ("this will get into DCIM folder")

if you can get inside it then your DCIM folder is there. Type

ls to show everything in the DCIM folder but excluding the hidden files

And also if you got a memory card then do this also

cd /media/mmc1/

ls -A

cd DCIM
ls

"ls" = LS in lower case. It is not "is", all Linux commands are typed in lower case. Remember this.
hope this helps.

Good Luck

I can see the DCIM folder in there. You typed the command incorrectly.

Type LS in lower case "ls" not "is".
"is" is not a command
"ls" is a command

Try again.

Re: n900 images and videos problem
 
The filemanager uses localized(?) names for directorys like
Documents, Photos, ....
In german the DCIM folders is named "Kamera".

Dear Nicolai, I dont know if u understood my problem. The xterminal shows all of the folder, but the folders are not seen in filemanager, so there is some error. Even when i opened Ansel-A to edit pics, all pics were loaded, but they fail to be seen when i use filemanager.
Thanks

Re: n900 images and videos problem
 
did you renamed your folders?
for example from .sounds or .videos to pics or vids?

The question is, which folder do you see in the filemanager?
I, for example have this folder with all pictures take with the camera
/home/user/MyDocs/DCIM
This is how the real folder name is, as it is seen in xterm.
N900/Kamera is the path from within the filemanager

For "images"
/home/user/MyDocs/.images (in xterm)
N900/Bilder (from the filemanager)

regards
Nicolai

hi superkoolguy

Solution 1: copy the DCIM folder to folder Video of your mobile, for this execute follow in xterminal

root
cp -R /home/user/MyDocs/DCIM /home/user/MyDocs/.videos

Now simply open file manager> videos> u can c DCIM folder there.

Solution2: copying the files from DCIM folder into folder video of your mobile may help, for this execute follow in xterminal

root
cp /home/user/MyDocs/DCIM/*.JPEG /home/user/MyDocs/.videos
cp /home/user/MyDocs/DCIM/*.MP4 /home/user/MyDocs/.videos

Now simply open file manager> videos> u can c DCIM folder there.

Re: n900 images and videos problem
 
It may be that the fs is corrupt, probably from removing it from a PC when it wasn't ready. That causes lots of strange things, including behavior like you're seeing. Try the following:

Code:
root
umount /home/user/MyDocs
fsck -a /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /home/user/MyDocs
exit
That should make things stable again if that was the cause.

Once you've done that, tell tracker to re-start AS USER (not as root) like this:

Code:
tracker-processes -r

Re: n900 images and videos problem
 
Hey guys, I have a problem where my Photos app that comes with the N900 does not recognise any recently taken photos and when I go into file manager to view file really they have the "?" icon and the Details option can't recognise they "type" of file.

Thank you for the help

Re: n900 images and videos problem
 
I had same problems with DCIM and other media folders on N900. The solution I found was:
1) Backup any file in problematic folder. Use usb pc connection or other method.
2) Remove entire problematic folder. Use Filebox (file manager wont allow). Install it if you dont have it.
3) Take some photos and videos with defalt camera software (this will recreate the deleted folders automaticly). Notice that you must select internal memory to save files (not sdcard)

After that, all must work well.
