Can't open picture database located at /home/egh/Pictures. Lists of Folders is shown in Digikam but on clicking them to open the Pictures in them, the page appears Blank. Have tried several times including reinstalling Digikam, logging off and rebooting, without success. I am a user of Linux since Mandriva 2 I have been a user of Digikam for ages and it is my preferred photo enhancing program.....Help! TIA Edward G. Howard Registered Linux user No. 224802
Why do you assign this file to Database-migration ? What do you see in the console ad debug trace ? Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 106571 [details] attachment-27671-0.html Greetings Gilles, On a new installation: Digikam comes up with Albums and below that Pictures, listing all the folders in the database, but then, when you try to open a Folder to access the pictures the Folder is blank! (nothing shows up). Therefore I tried going in the settings, migration; to no effect. Tried settings, Configure Digikam, add collections and again no result. I have experienced this in the past and after a lot of fiddling managed to get the pictures appearing, but not this time. Have tried with "Permissions" on the HDD in case they were set as root instead of the user (myself) and that showed OK. Your help will be greatly appreciated. TIA Kind regards, Edward G.

I really need to see the console trace when you try to access to image. Gilles Caulier

Your file attached to this entry are not relevant. Run digiKam from a console. It will print a lots of debug traces. Please copy the console text trace to a text file and attach it to this entry. Gilles Caulier

As i can see the Database cannot be used. I don't know why. So, you use a mysql database. A local (internal) or remote server (from a NAS for ex) ? Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 106580 [details] attachment-15389-0.html I have my pictures in my sda1 (/home/egh/Pictures). I have always used this setup. In addition I have an sda2 (/mnt/Backup2), wherein I back up my pics. as above. I have checked both sda1 and sda2, their contents and their permissions, and both are OK (owner being egh in both). "mysql" is the default database used by Digikam and that is why I am using it. I would not mind using an alternative database if this was recommended, however I have always used this database since I have been using Digikam, from quite a number of years ago. I will retire for the day now. We are at GMT +12.... on wed 12 July. Good night for now. Kind regards, Edward G.

>"mysql" is the default database used by Digikam and that is why I am using >it. I would not mind using an alternative database if this was recommended, No I want to know just if it's a local mysql database (files on hard drive as sqlite), or if it's a network database (as running on a NAS for ex). Can you go to SDK setup dialog, and give me all the settings from Database and Collections sections ? Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 106585 [details] attachment-9766-0.html where do I find the SDK setup dialog? If you let me know, I will forward the info to you. I believe this is the Microsoft Virus (EUFI) that is causing the problem. I thought I had overcome it. Digikam is working perfectly in one of my other computers with an Intel i7. I have booted with Mageia -6-rc-Live on a USB, this time, only to find the problem persists. Find the Dolphin does not show all the places (devices) as it did in previously in earlier versions.

>where do I find the SDK setup dialog? Not SDK but DK ==> digiKam (:=)))... Go to digiKam main menu, Settings/Configure... Note : if it's due to an Anti-virus side effect, so this file can be closed, as you tested with other system which don't have this kind of problem. Right ? Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 106588 [details] attachment-28513-0.html I haven't found a way to eliminate/close the Windows virus EUFI, which is in the motherboard firmware. If you know of a method to do this, please let me know, as it is become a problem to install Linux in PCs. I have gone frequently to Digikam's Settings....Digikam Migration and Configure Digikam. Tried multiple different settings, all to no avail. Kind regards, Edward G.

Created attachment 106646 [details] attachment-23075-0.html Greetings Gilles Caulier, Have solved the problem.....After disabling practically all the options in the settings of the Motherboard (MSI 970A-G43 MS-7693(V3.x)) I reinstalled Mageia-6-sta-2-x86_64-DVD.iso using a previously installed HDD thereby using the the autoalloacated patitions, which would not allow me to do previously claiming the partitions: /, Linux swap and /usr, were to small (under 8.4GiB each). This done under "expert mode". At the end of the installations it further installed the "Grub2" boot system and the tried to add an additional entry which surly had to do with the UEFI, which I deleted. I booted Mageia 6 and proceeded to install mi WiFi, them did the updates, all before opening Digikam. Then, using Dolphin copied the picture files from sdb1 to /home/egh/Pictures in sda7 This went OK. Having completed this, I opened Digikam and followed the opening prompts which found the path /home/egh/Pictures, but I still could not open them. On further exploring, found a new slider at the bottom right corner of Digikam which starting showing an incremental percentage figure which was a new copying into Digikam. On completion of 100% I opened the picture list to find they were all there; all 411 folders with their pictures in them......Hooray, after a lot of fiddling! Thanks for all your help and have a nice weekend. Kind regards, Edward G.
