from 11.3 to 11.4. No thumbnails, and frozen. I have to kill the app.
In terminal I get this:
oug@linux-rvej:~> digikam

I run digikam 2.5.0 from the KDE48 repo on 11.4, works well.
From the looks of the forum, you are in the middle of a bad upgrade experience, I have been on 11.4 for a while and it has been very stable with good performance. I see the upgrade gurus are already on your case.
Once you get the mess sorted out, a well running digikam is waiting for you.
On my openSUSE-11.4 digikam ‘just works’. Some of the errors I see (while my digikam works) are similar. From my PC:

The only unusual errors on your PC (that I do not get) appear to be the thumbnail image errors.
I have digikam-1.8.0-4.4.x86_64.
I was going to suggest renaming /home/username/.kde4/share/apps/digikam/ but I note it is empty on my PC, and likely empty on yours, so that won’t likely help.
I think the digikam database is kept under /home/username/Pictures (in a file called digikamX.db) and the thumbnails kept in a database under /home/username/Pictures in a file called ‘thumbnails-digikam.db’. I suppose you could (1) backup those files into a DIFFERENT directory, and then try removing one of them (such as removing the thumbnail directory) and see if that lets you start digikam and regenerate the thumbnails.
This is rather wild speculation on my part, so take it with lots and lots of salt.
That was it! Success. All my problems solved. I deleted the digikam.db files(2 of them). Now it works just fine. Thanks for the help! Very happy will 11.4 now.
