Bug 372380

A similar bug to this has been reported in 2014, but is now closed:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334045

This is a package problem. Mediawiki is available here.
Please test digiKam-5.3.0 AppImage bundle for Linux:

http://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/

Maik

Problem is not reproducible with AppImage, as Maik, said. Please try with the Linux Bundle...

Gilles Caulier

I will try with the appbundle ASAP. However, it would be appreciated if this could be resolved with the Ubuntu package, since this is a common installation. How can I help get this issue fixed in the Ubuntu packages?

Generally, users are coming to Digikam through a package manager such as KDE Discover or the Ubuntu Software Store. The AppImage approach may work, but is not perhaps the most natural way for end-users to discover/install software.

I can confirm, also, that the 5.3.0 AppImage installation contains the MediaWiki export option. What steps can I take to help the KDE Neon packagers support this plugin?

If the plugin is listed in tools setup page this want mean that desktop files from kipi-plugins is installed. this will not check if tool can be loaded in memory.

At run time, of course, the plugin is loaded. If an error occur, this will be printed to the console.

Run digiKam from a console and look the debug statement. Mediawiki and libkipi will be print if something is wrong as a version diff or a broken dependency.

In all case, this is a package problem, not a digiKam implementation problem.

Here is the output of my console when running the digikam command:

It has been over two years that the Mediawiki export plugin has not worked for the Ubuntu digikam package. Please help me troubleshoot this issue, so that it can be resolved in the Ubuntu packages.

In your config file ~/.config/digikamrc, what the content of section [KIPI/EnabledPlugin] ?
