Hi,
I’ve been trying to install digikam from the repos, but when I start it, it won’t launch… crashes immediately. I’ve searched everywhee, tried every online advice, all to no avail. Tried deleting all config files etc and reinstalling.
I’m running GNOME 3.14.2 with Linux kernel 3.18
here’s the roll-out starting it from the command line.
ANyone an idea?

Your digikam crashes inside Qt5, i.e. you installed the KDE Frameworks 5 version that is not even released yet.
It should work (it does here), but you probably have an incompatibe Qt5 installed.
Install digikam (not digikam5) that should work. It is included in the distribution, you don’t need any extra repo.
I wrote up a ticket on the KDE site… it got solved… the newest updates solved it
Yes, digikam5 does work fine here.
But again, why don’t you just use the stable KDE4 version instead, which is included in the distribution?
digikam5 has not been released yet, there are only unstable development snapshots available.
hmmmm, I think there’s some mistake… I’ve been using Digikam 4 all along. I only use what the repos provide. I’ve got Digikam 4.6, but qt5 is on my machine because of some other apps I have the are using it.
But anyhow a developer from the KDE Digikam group replied to me and explained how it happened, it was packaged wrongly and that is now rectified.
YaST uses Qt5.
But digikam 4.6 is not in the standard repos either for any released distribution.
Are you using Tumbleweed?
You should have mentioned that, and better even asked in the specific Tumbleweed forum then.
But anyhow a developer from the KDE Digikam group replied to me and explained how it happened, it was packaged wrongly and that is now rectified.
Well, your backtrace clearly shows that Qt5 has been loaded, causing the crash.
If you used digikam4, which is based on Qt4, it might have loaded Qt5 indirectly somehow (maybe because of that packaging problem you mention).
And when an application uses both Qt4 and Qt5, it crashes.
Yes, I’m using Tumbleweed, I’ll bare that in mind in future…Thanks for trying to help
a backtrace was also given to the Digikam developers along with some other information they required who then responded as I indicated above… the problem is now solved it was updated within 2 days. … They said the problem did not lie with openSUSE or myself
Hm, the only recent change in the digikam package is this:
Sat Jan 24 15:44:27 UTC 2015 - adrian@suse.de
- old libkgeomap package provides older lib with same so name, adding
an explizit requires
Which clearly was an openSUSE (packaging) problem.
Out of curiosity, could you please point me to the bug report?
As I said, according to the backtrace you posted it was crashing inside Qt5, which digikam should not load at all. And if it is loaded indirectly it would rather sound like a packaging error to me, not an upstream bug.
Although, it doesn’t really matter anyway if it is working now… 
Thanks.
But in that bug report the digikam developer actually states that this was probably an openSUSE packaging problem.
As there has not really been a change to the digikam package that might have fixed this particular crash, it might have been a problem with some underlying library that digikam uses.
As I said, according to your backtrace it crashed in Qt5, so probably it loaded some library/plugin that has been built against Qt5 by mistake.
Your backtrace doesn’t really give a hint which one that might have been, but it’s fixed now anyway.
yeah! I get that alright. I read it again … thanks anyway, Wolfi
