Version: (using KDE 4.2.85) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages All albums appear empty in Digikam. I've seen a few bugs with similar problems but nothing seems to apply directly to what I'm experiencing. I've tried restarting Digikam and deleting my database file but without any effect. I get this output in the terminal: void SunLocator::update() digikam(4659): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_digikamalbums'. I've installed Digikam from the Ubuntu 9.10 repositories.
digiKam kio-slaves cannot be found in KDE4 dir. check your system... Gilles Caulier
Looks like the libraries are there, I get this in my .xsession-errors: kdeinit4: preparing to launch Could not open library '/usr/lib/kde4/kio_digikamtags.so'. Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kio_digikamtags.so: (/usr/lib/libdigikamcore.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZN6Marble12MarbleWidget16addPlaceMarkDataERK7QStringS3_) digikam(3955): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_digikamtags'. Is this a bug in Digikam or Kubuntu?
This is no bug in digiKam. Have you tried to restart your system? The slave might not be registered properly after install. Andi
Aha ah, it's not a digiKam bug. it's a binary compatibility not respected from Kubuntu package, especially marblewidget, used by digiKam Check your system.. Gilles Caulier
Ok thanks, I'll file this on Launchpad for Kubuntu.
Restart didn't help? This is usually the solution to this problem (especially in Kubuntu).
No I've tried two restarts now without any change.
It's normal. Look : Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kio_digikamtags.so: (/usr/lib/libdigikamcore.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZN6Marble12MarbleWidget16addPlaceMarkDataERK7QStringS3_) A symbol is not found in libmarblewidget by digiKam kio-slave. update or check marblewidget package before to retry... Gilles Caulier
This seems to be caused by Kubuntu's latest "backports" release. It causes an upgrade in libmarble4 from 4.2.2 to 4.2.90, which breaks digikam. Adam, did you create an issue in launchpad? I can't seem to find it.

This problem is relevant of digiKam KIO Slaves and all of these have been dropped in favor of a multi-threaded interface to query the database.
