Description ned 2008-12-23 17:41:56 UTC

Version:           svn r900734 (using Devel)
Compiler:          cmake gcc4 all dependancies provided by Ubuntu Jaunty repositories
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

All my existing albums show up as empty. The images are there, and digikam recognises them, it just doesn't display them in album view (and therefor I can't select and view them).

I know it sees the images, because the tools (like tools>rebuild all thmbnails) see the images, and actually display the thumbnails too.

Will attach console output.

Marcel,

It's always the same with kioslaves :

ned,

digiKam installation is wrong on your computer. You must install it to KDE4 directory.

Comment 3 Marcel Wiesweg 2008-12-29 22:24:47 UTC

ned, you have compiled digikam yourself. Now when it is started, the platform cannot find the necessary kioslave files, which produces the effect seen. This is an installation problem on your machine and nothing we could fix.
The files are named kio_digikamalbums.so and similar. Here they are installed in /usr/lib/kde4/. This may differ in Ubuntu. You may have installed in /usr/local and need to point KDE to this directory, or install to your default kde prefix, which you  can find out with the kde4-config utility.
