Version: (using KDE 3.5.10) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs Hello, the applications "digikam" and "showfoto" are crashing since a few days ago I performed the regular software update for the software repositories with "zypper". There is no problem to open "digikam" and "showfoto". In "digikam" it is possible to open a video with kaffeine or to use the DIA-mode for the pictures in a folder. But as soon as "digikam" tries to show the picture information ("meta data") when the cursor is over the picture icon in the picture window and changes from the "arrow" symbol to the the "hand" - symbol, digikam will crash. Only if I click as soon as possible on the picture icon, then the picture is shown in "digikam" but cannot be modified. The crash report show the following messages: Überprüfung der Systemkonfiguration beim Start deaktiviert.

() And here are some installation information for "digikam" on my laptop: Information for package digikam: Repository: Update-11.0 Name: digikam Version: 0.9.3-70.2 Arch: i586 Vendor: SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date Betriebssystem: Linux 2.6.25.20-0.1-default i686 System: openSUSE 11.0 (i586) KDE: 3.5.10 "release 46" Can you please give me a hint to solve this problem? Thank you in advance for your support and for your help. Kind regards Wolfhard Langer
You use a very old release 0.9.3 !!! It's not maintained. Last stable for KDE3 is 0.9.5... Please use right version. Also your backtrace is unsuitable. Debug messages are missing. Andi, your viewpoint. For me the file is not Valid Gilles Caulier
I'd say that digiKam 0.9.3 is linked against some lib that has been updated now, but digiKam is not able to use it correctly. It seems to work as long as no image is opened, but if an image is loaded, it crashes. So this is definitely no digikam problem but a distribution issue, so marking this as DOWNSTREAM or closing it as INVALID is ok. You / the distribution either needs to recompile or you need to upgrade digiKam to a higher version. I'm pretty sure openSUSE has newer versions than 0.9.3
Hello, thank you very much for your hints and for your immediate answer. I will look for a higher version of digiKam that will work together with the updated library of distribution openSUSE. Have a nice day. Wolfhard Langer
