Created attachment 174486 [details] Tried to start Digikam from command line. SUMMARY Started Digikam and did the setup for a new installation. After that completed Digikam was unrsponsive. I had to kill the process. Tried again. I didn't need to do the initial setup this time but it was still unresponsive. Removed Digikam and re-installed. Still not working. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start Digikam 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Completely unresponsive EXPECTED RESULT Be able to open files, access settings, import photos, etc SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.1.5 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Started Digikam from the terminal to see if there was any useful information. Attaching the result. Oddly this version of Digikam works fine on my other machine, also on Fedora 40. It was installed long ago and has received each update.
Do you see an empty digiKam window or is the GUI still being fully built? Maik
And start digiKam in the terminal for more debug output with the Qt environment variable set: export QT_LOGGING_RULES="digikam*=true" Maik
export says that "digikam*=true" is not a valid identifier. The GUI seems to be loaded completely. Welcome to DigKam 8.4.0, , tool bars and folders shown.
What? The export command is not a parameter for digiKam and is executed beforehand, so no error message can occur. Maik
Normally the binary file download window should open, the dialog is modal. Is this dialog possibly in the background? Maik
Good guess. The first time I started digikam it asked if I wanted to install extra binaries. I ticked the boxes and proceeded with the start up. I think that dialogue stayed in the background. I started digikam again and looked for any hidden windows. Sure enough the extra files window was hidden. I removed the tick marks. Now Digikam starts normally.
With other apps for instance kmail, when secondary window is opened it shows up in the task manager. Not so wiht digikam.
Yes, I can confirm under Wayland. Under Wayland the dialog opens in the background, I am in the process of fixing it. Maik
Here under openSUSE the window is also in the taskbar, but behind the digikam window. Maik
