[karmic] Digikam does not display anything in the main pane

I have a similar issue on karmic. Digikam claimed it could not load the kio's but they were actually there.

digikam(24012): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_digikamdates'.
"
digikam(24012): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_digikamalbums'.

It happened only when I was going through kdm. If I didn't run kdm, i.e. xinit and then digikam (or xinit, startkde and then digikam), digikam had no issue in displaying the albums.

 It looks like kdm may have caused an issue on klauncher/digikam, probably a path, an environment.

I've not figured out what is wrong yet.

Apparently, Digikam just needs to be rebuilt against the KDE 4.3 libraries, and possibly other Karmic-specific things. I did a test build with my pbuilder, and it seems to be working fine. I am uploading it to my PPA now, so maybe you could give it a shot once it finishes uploading and building.

The Ubuntu machine is at work. I'll try it out monday. I am running Debian unstable at home. Digikam works with respect to the kio issue on the Debian.

I hit quit a bit of issues in kde4 on both machines. Kde3 has been solid for a long time.

Thanks,
P. C.

Micheal,

Sorry to send you a blank, the hotmail user agent bug hit again.

When should I be downloading the new digikam?

Regards,
P. C.

It is in my PPA. https://edge.launchpad.net/~thefirstm/+archive/karmic-testing You can either add the PPA to your sources, or just download the package and install it manually.

Hi,

Same problem here (nothing is displayed in the main panel).
KDE 4.3 b1 and Kubuntu 9.04.

Have you tried the package from my PPA yet?

The digikam package in your PPA is only for Karmic, isn't it ?
It will be ok if i download the .deb and install it on my Jaunty ?

It should work fine, since you are running KDE 4.3. Just make sure that you manually install the one package, because some of the other packages I have there might break your system.

I've just tried and it doesn't work.
It miss some newer versions of the following libs :
libgphoto2-2 (>= 2.4.3) (Jaunty version is 2.4.2)
libgphoto2-port0 (>= 2.4.3) (Jaunty version is 2.4.2)
libqt4-phonon (>= 4.5.1) (Not installed (not useful ?) in Jaunty)

Oops. I wasn't thinking about dependencies. You shouldn't try to install the packages from Karmic, because the QT package would probably break your system. My recommendation would be to contact one of the maintainers of the KDE 4.3 PPA and ask him/her to upload the digikam package, referencing this bug.

Yes I have and it works.

Did you get a blank message again?

Sorry I lost my change to general.useragent.vendor setting on firefox restart again, probably when there was another useragent switch extension enabled.

It is very annoying when hotmail keeps doing strange things when vendor string was set to ubuntu.

Before we could not write anything into the mail content, now it would blank out the entire content on save or send. MS has made it less obvious and more evil since.

Same issue here. I get this in my .xsession-errors:

kdeinit4: preparing to launch
Could not open library '/usr/lib/kde4/kio_digikamalbums.so'.
Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kio_digikamalbums.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_digikamalbums'.

I did file this at bugs.kde.org (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195079) but was told this is a Kubuntu issue with libmarblewidget.

This appears to be fixed by the latest build.

Yes after the updates today this is now fixed.

The problem is still present in Kubuntu 9.04 (KDE 4.3 Beta2). Any solution ?
Thanks.

The fix, right now, is only for Karmic. You need to send an email to someone on the kubuntu-ppa team and ask them to upload DigiKam. I am sure they will.

Ok, I'll do that. Thank you.

Fix for Jaunty released in kubuntu-experimental ppa (beware it contains KDE 4.3 beta too).
A big Thanks to alessandro ;)

The bug doesn't occur, though, unless you have KDE 4.3.

What do you mean ? I had the problem before KDE 4.3, and also after 4.3, And now it is fixed.

Shura, where exactly does it appear in kubuntu-experimental?

I am experiencing the same bug as described before, running Kubuntu 9.04 + KDE 4.3 rc1

The fix was here : https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/experimental
Now there is the 1.0.0 beta1 version, but it fixes the bug too I guess.

beta1 works, but it has other significant bugs. So be careful.

Due to crashes and weirdness, I've had to switch to gwenview for doing photo file management, until some glorious day i have time to build myself beta3 since no one seems to be updating any ppa's since beta1.

I still use beta1 for tagging, editing, importing and viewing though.

I have beta3 in my PPA.

I can confirm that beta1 works for me although I haven't tested it thoroughly for other bugs.

I can confirm that beta1 works for me with KDE 4.3 final although I haven't tested it thoroughly for other bugs.

I just updated my desktop which is Debian to 4.3, the 2.1 beta3 digikam there stops working the same way. I put beta1 from Ubuntu onto the Debian, it actually worked. It shows all the pictures and videos. It looks like we are not out of the woods yet.
