Verified that path wanted was not setup for NFS. I had digikam-0.7.4-r2 & digikamimageplugins-0.7.4-r2 installed then upgraded
to 0.8.1 for both.  I noticed digikam would crash as a regular user on startup.
 When ran as root it would startup and prompt for almbum path.
I decided to delete all references to digikam i.e. config files for the regular
user and started digkam up and it would startup and prompt for album path.
If I chose a path not originating from my users home directory the app would
crash.

Comment 1 caulier.gilles 2006-07-26 16:12:02 UTC

please give us a backtrace using gdb. Note that 0.9.0-beta1 is available. Please give us a fresh feedback

Comment 2 Arnd Baecker 2007-06-06 19:44:48 UTC

is this crash still reproducible using digikam 0.9.2-beta3?

Many thanks in advance for any feedback!

Comment 3 Arnd Baecker 2007-06-26 09:42:11 UTC

Closing this bug now. 
This does not mean it is invalid by itself, but
without further information (gdb backtrace
and check with current 0.9.2 version) 
it is not possible to find the root of the problem.

Please feel free to re-open if there is any
new information.
