digikam not starting

[barry-m]

my system was all Mageia3 but I have just upgraded digikam to Mageia 4 from the d/l DVD. Digikam still fails to start, from a terminal I get 'Illegal instruction".

Running strace -f digikam ends with ' +++ killed by SIGKILL +++ Illegal instruction'. The upgrade did not fix the problem

I see problems have occurred with nvidia drivers. Mine is not nvidia.

What tests can I make to trace the problem

thanks

Did you try an urpmi --auto-update after the upgrade via DVD?
Please provide the output from urpmi --list-media active.

After trying doing that, please try digikam under a freshly created user, does the problem persist?

FWIW I have Digikam running on two machines, one pc an one laptop. No problems. That would seem to say that your problem is local to your setup.
I know it's not an answer but it should narrow down the search for you.

[doktor5000]

Can you try to move away / rename at least (do NOT delete them, or your digikam settings will be reset to defaults) as normal user

Code: Select all

~/.kde4/share/apps/digikam
~/.kde4/share/config/digikamrc

Or maybe there's an issue with your album, to locate it in your home directory you could run as normal user:

Code: Select all

find ~ -iname "*digikam*"

Since my 1st msg I have done a full install of Mageia4 on a clean ptn, then ran update from Mageia control centre. When I run digikam from a terminal I still get the 'illegal instruction' msg.
This has created a new digikamrc file. All updates are installed.
strace -f digikam exits with +++ killed by SIGILL +++

fstab was backed up before the install, and copied back after. The following were then reactivated with 'mount -a '. ~/Photos, ~/Movies, ~/Documents, ~/store are each on separate ptns and are now accessable and have no problems

I think this has dealt with all the suggestions, thanks

More ideas welcome

Nope.

Please provide the output from urpmi --list-media active.

When reinstalling, did you keep your /home or did you format it/create a new one?


FWIW, digikam works fine here on several boxes.

[barry-m]

[root@TheBox barry]$ urpmi --list-media active
Unknown option: list-media Not an option on the man page, what have I missed?
No package named active

The problem is the same with a new user.

/home was copied to another ptn, the / ptn reformatted so giving a new /home. Then .bashrc copied back to the new /home dir

[Ken-Bergen]

It should be

Code: Select all

urpmq --list-media active

Is this related to bug 10815?

Have now tried to run using gdm /usr/bin/digikam - so looks like opencv is the problem.
How do I fix this? please
