*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 289732 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289732
I can confirm that it's a duplicate of 289732. I followed a work-around similar to that described in the upstream report (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=559093) mentioned in bug #289732. I used the following SQL query to identify the folders on my computer that contained a colon: select distinct base_uri from photos where base_uri like "file:///%:%"; I renamed these folders by hand to change ": " to "- " I then use the following SQL statements to update the F-Spot database: update photos set base_uri = replace(base_uri, ": ", "- ") where base_uri like "file:///%: %"; update photo_versions set base_uri = replace(base_uri, ": ", "- ") where base_uri like "file:///%: %"; It seems that we should avoid importing folders with a : in their name. I hope that helps. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #559093 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=559093 -- F-Spot crashes on start-up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469334 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to f-spot in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
