SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** 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 SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 22.04 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0 Qt Version: 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. Maik
OK, thanks
