Created attachment 176407 [details] debug log generated as the bad splash page is generated *** If you're not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org If you're reporting a crash, attach a backtrace with debug symbols; see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports Please remove this comment after reading and before submitting - thanks! *** SUMMARY launching digiKam-8.5.0-Qt6-x86-64.appimage worked at first. but now on launching it it generates a *mirror image of the current desktop* as its window, and NOT the standard digikam layoout. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. ./digiKam-8.5.0-Qt6-x86-64.appimage OBSERVED RESULT i attach a screenshot of the digikam window. it may LOOK like a bunch of other apps' windows, but that is because on launch digikam takes ~screenshot of the current desktop and using that as its splash page?! Note also that clicking the "X" close button in the upper-right corner DOES quit the digikam process. EXPECTED RESULT I expect it to launch with a standard digikam splashpage. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Ubuntu 24.04.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I'm attaching the debug log produced via QT_LOGGING_RULES="digikam*=true".
do you use Wayland or X11 ? https://www.howtogeek.com/900698/what-is-wayland-on-linux-and-how-is-it-different-from-x/ Which GPU video card did you use ?
hi caulier.gilles@gmail.com, thanks for your help. X11 Nvidia Geforce RTX 3050 Is this (https://bugs.kde.org) the way digikam bug reports/discussion is supposed to occur? I was looking for issues (re: v8.5) on your repo but didn't find that.

Also note that my configuration (Ubuntu 24.04, NVidia drivers for X) was working fine with an earlier 8.2 version of digiKam.

I use also Ubuntu 224.04 with X11 and NVidia T1000 without problems Bugzilla is the official project to report issues
Note : i dont use the Nouveau opensource driver for NVIDIA, but the proprietary driver
I suspect there is an incompatibility between Qt6 and the graphics driver. Try using digiKam with software OpenGL. Edit the following file: ~/.config/digikam_systemrc [System] softwareOpenGL=true Maik

But of course it wasn't a guess; how did you come up with that? Can I report this to anyone usefully? Thanks very much Maik.
