SUMMARY
***
After OS-upgrade and moving the database to another disk, the links to the individual pictures are lost
***

I have upgraded to the following OS-Release some months ago:
 cat os-release 
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="20.04.2 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian

Datenbanktreiber: QSQLITE
Pfad der Datenbank: /datadisk/imago/Fotodatenbank/

Problem: 
I have moved the databases of DigiKam from the earlier location in /home and to an second disk; /datadisk/imago. Thera are tho directiories one /Fotodatenkank, where the databases of digiKam reside,
and /Bilder, in which the individual pictures are contained in different subdirectories.

OBSERVED RESULT
After database-migration the structure of my collection of photos and the thumbnail are correct, but the link to the "real" photo is lost, see screenshot in the appendix.

is there a chance, to repair these missing links? Or what is to do?

Hi and happy new year,

If you start digiKam from a console as explained here :

https://www.digikam.org/contribute/

Can you post the debug trace at start-up ?

Best regards

The paths and disk UUID must be adapted in the DB. This is only possible with a later digiKam version. There is also the option of updating the old path in the digiKam Settings for collections. Update to a current digiKam version, for Ubuntu our AppImage is the best option.
