bt before digikam settings dialog hangs
The backtrace documents my attempt to do a clean install on my distro: after setting up db connection the dialog to choose a folder for the base collection hangs. In this example the plasma-desktop crashed after the freeze of the file dialog, so digikam was able to continue and I tried to set the collection path again which caused another freeze.
Also the db-dialog hangs, the dialog to define author templates - like all other dialogs of the digikam settings.
Note - this bug is similar to the issue in Bug 337443 - digikam hangs when opening the preferences window on the collection management ta Reported: 2014-07-14 15:40 UTC by Mathias Homann (In reply to Mathias Homann from comment #0) > I can't add a collection to digikam, it freezes up when i try to open the > preferences window. I suffer from the same symptom using OpenSuse 13.1 with digikam build 14.1.0-1.11. Sometimes I can open further dialogs if I act quickly, but there is no way e.g. to select the folder of the root collection or to edit the author template in the settings menu after a couple of seconds. See attachment with backtrace - this example shows what happens before and after the freeze of a digikam setting dialog window (in this case: the file dialog to select collections). The freeze is not related to a particular window, it also freezes when I try to change db settings, color profile settings and the like. The KDE desktop is not blocked, but all digikam windows. Some additional infos: - I use nvidia native driver on all workstations - large filesystems (> 4 TB) with many folders - on this pc there are two high resolution monitors (2x 2016x1200) I should contact the package provider. Do not think this package is ready for production. The bug is related to specific KDE Settings, large Fonts, or KDE Service Settings. It is obviously not an migration issue (3.5 - 4.1) or database issuse. Proof: In a virtual machine with a vanilla installation of openSuse 13.1 with a new user digikam 4.1.0 (build 11.1 and 11.8) and KDE 4.13.3 the settings windows can be opened, and none of the dialogs (database, collection ...) freezes. I will try to change KDE Settings similar to the one used on my workstation where this bug is a severe blocker at time of the installation, but also later on, as all settings have to be configured in the kede rc file without gui. This bug was closed because it is not focused on the real cause of the problem: The digikam 4.x settings window (and collection setup at installation) freezes once a mysql connection was setup successfully with latest mariadb and mysql libs at least in OpenSuse 12.3 and 13.1. This bug is moved to a new one. |
