When digikam starts, i see empty window. I dont know what windows belongs. It has title only digikam. But its probably related to geoiface ( it appears when in log i see geoiface related informations )

I suspect a problem with Marble library under Mint. Here is an even older bug report bug 412591. It turned out that many Marble plugins could not be loaded. I myself could never reproduce this problem.

One more note about your screenshot, you should install the Breeze Icons and set them in the digiKam setup.

Thanks for advice, now digikam is more usable :)
I started new bug in marble project, because when i run marble-qt, same issue is there. 
Its bug #467898

Hi,

Problem is now fixed in next 8.3.0 release when digiKam is compiled with Qt6.

Best regards
