Description jgoerzen 2018-06-10 04:19:15 UTC

While using Digikam from https://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/digikam-5.9.0-01-x86-64.appimage, I was unable to get ALSA to play sound at all.

I got results similar to those listed at http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/digiKam-users-Digikam-Cannot-access-file-share-alsa-alsa-conf-td4705967.html, namely:

Cannot access file ././/share/alsa/alsa.conf 

No amount of ALSA tweaking would make it work.  I was eventually able to work around this by running alsoft-conf on the host, removing ALSA from the "Backends in use", and adding PulseAudio to that list.

Can you reproduce the dysfunction using the last digiKam 6.0.0-beta3 just
released ?

Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2019-03-06 15:33:17 UTC

Good news,

After 2 weeks of works, the Linux AppImage bundle 64 bits is now reconstructed from scratch with:

- All OpenCV options for CUDA, OPenMP, and OPenCL disabled
- A large upgrade of Qt5 from 5.9.7 to 5.11.3.
- An upgrade to KF5 5.55.
- An upgrade to Ffmpeg 3.3.9
- The fontconfig/freetype integration in the bundle to reduce system dependencies


Files can be downloaded here :

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Please test and report.

Thanks in advance

jgoerzen,

After 3 weeks of work, i finally completed the compilation of AppImage using Qt 5.11.3 + QWebkit 5.212.

New 6.1.0 pre-release AppImage bundle can be found here (64 bits only for the
moment) :

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Please check if the problem remain.

Unfortunately still no sound. The "capi" entry is also missing, but if it is related at all...
