This is a QWebEngine problem. There are no problems in my native digiKam version. Maik 2501664 4 metzpinguin 2026-03-08 18:34:12 +0000 Use Marble as a workaround; switch in the digikamrc to the Marble backend. [Geolocation Edit Settings][Map Widget] Backend=marble Maik 2501920 5 hesmith1029 2026-03-09 15:52:56 +0000 Thanks for the quick response. To change to Marble backend normally requires that I be able to get the GeoLocation editor open. So the crash blocks that. I found that starting DigiKam 8.8 and changing the settings there allows DigiKam 9.0 to load with the Marble settings in place. Switching 9.0 to Google instantly crashes. In fact if I switch 8.8 back to Google I can not even launch 9.0, it crashes when loading tools. I am not a big fan of the Marble map, so I may just stick with 8.8 until this gets fixed. You mentioned running Digikam native. Is that an option on Ubuntu? 2501971 6 hesmith1029 2026-03-09 19:33:43 +0000 Just tried golocation with the Marble settings. Same result. Immediate crash after enter CTL-Shift-G 2501978 7 hesmith1029 2026-03-09 19:42:44 +0000 (In reply to Herb Smith from comment #6) > Just tried golocation with the Marble settings. Same result. Immediate > crash after enter CTL-Shift-G False alarm. Apparently the map settings for right hand display to not carry over to the Geolocation module, nor to map center panel option. I configured all three to use the Marble option and for now it is NOT crashing. 2504423 8 metzpinguin 2026-03-18 17:39:39 +0000 Use the pre-release version of digiKam-9.1.0 from here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Maik 2504756 9 hesmith1029 2026-03-19 14:48:42 +0000 Confirmed fixed on my machine, thanks
