***
I am having issues with my old PC, running digikam under Ubuntu 22.04. It was running the 8.20 appimage, but kept hanging, so I installed the latest (8.0.0) version from the repository.
It hasn't read the configuration file created by 8.2.0 and is using SQLite as its database engine. I want it to use MYSQL internal, because I have around 150k images.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Remove 8.2.0 appimage
2.  Install 8.0.0 using Ubuntu Software Updater.
3.  Settings | Configure digikam | Database driopdown list only has Type of SQLite

OBSERVED RESULT
digikam stops responding, whilst finding new items.

EXPECTED RESULT
I should be able to use MYSQL Internal service

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Ubuntu Repository Packages are unusable Snap Package. Snap uses a sandbox, so digiKam is only heavily restricted to the home directory. In addition, the Unbuntu Snap packages are compiled without MySQL support. Write a bug report on Ubuntu that you expect native and complete digiKam packages. Alternatively, use our AppImage. If you have problems with the AppImage, create a log from the terminal.
