It's probably a duplicate of #429738

Comment 2 Maik Qualmann 2021-12-09 18:44:09 UTC

The whole thing has at least 2 causes. the Ubuntu digiKam-7.3.0 is absolutely unusable because it is a snap package and uses a sandbox. The other cause is that GPhoto2 is blocked by an Ubuntu system service. digiKam requires direct access to the GPhoto2 driver / USB interface.

Maik,

About the sandboxing, i discovered that KDE provides now a small component for Snap and Flatpak :

@howard,

The solution for you is to use the AppImage bundle for Linux that we provides. It's based on Ubuntu 18.04 for binary compatibility and there is no sandboxing with AppImage. Please try the last 8.0.0 version.

Best regards

@howard,

What's about this file using current 8.2.0 AppImage Linux bundle ? It's
reproducible ?

Thanks in advance
