Some suggestions throughout

This could be
if x.lower().endswith(".jpg"):

>                    count = count + 1
>                    operation = 'make_db ' + root + '/' +  x

This could be also
operation = "make_db %s/%s" % (root,x)

>                    os.system(operation) # Call the command line with the 
> operation above
>                    print root + '/' + x #This is optional, I did this for

print "%s/%s" % (root,x)

>            print str(count) + " files done"
print "%s files done" % count

I don't know much about ubuntu, so I can't answer the question. Also you 
might consider os.path.join
And since you are doing this root+'/'+x so many times, perhaps you should 
just assign it to a variable once
and use it instead? Say~  fullpath = root+'/'+x
