[SOLVED] Digikam won't open

[Talisman]

I am unable to start digikam.  Output from a terminal is:

Code: [Select]

[user@localhost ~]$ digikam
KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work
QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'ConnectionTest' is still in use, all queries will cease to work.
[0x8d90eec] main services discovery error: no suitable services discovery module
digikam: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/phonon_backend/phonon_vlc.so: undefined symbol: libvlc_audio_filter_list_get
I can install package phonon-xine and remove phonon-vlc and digikam will open, but I'm not sure of the implications of doing that.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Working OK, here.

This is the output from the terminal (I ran digikam, open a RAW file with Gimp, and then close it).

I have both phonon-vlc and phonon-xine installed...

[Talisman]

Thank you for the reply Pags.  I have also tried it with phonon-xine and phonon-vlc both installed and it does not work.  I saw this topic after my 1st post:  http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,108000.0.html.  Maybe my problem is related.?.

Now that the KDE 4.8 update appears official (it came through in updates with manual intervention)...I updated a VM install, and am now getting this when running digikam (I don't have the install I normally use up and running, at the moment):

Code: [Select]

[jpaglia@localhost ~]$ digikam
libdc1394 error: Failed to initialize libdc1394

hmmm...

Try to run the KDE Control Center in 4.8, in an attempt to modify the Phonon setting, but when I click "Phonon" in the "Multimedia" section, the program terminates...

Code: [Select]

I was getting the same error after the KDE 4.8.3 update but found this:

http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,108226.0.html

Worked for me, but now wondering what other problems if any might be caused by uninstalling phonon-vlc??

[JohnW_57]

Removing the phonon-vlc package with synaptic did fix for some users.

Removing phonon-vlc fixed it here...

...do we know the root cause (and why this fix works)?

Thanks!

After a successful KDE 4.8.3 upgrade I get this:

Code: [Select]

[user@localhost ~]$ digikam
QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'ConnectionTest' is still in use, all queries will cease to work.

Digikam works if I install phonon-xine or phonon-gstreamer.  I haven't noticed any problems by doing this, so I will mark this thread solved.

Thanks for everyone's help.
