Summary: Plugins not available unless logged in as superuser
Product: digikam
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
ReportedBy: bbrandal gmail com

Version: 0.9.0 b1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux

I have installed digikam 0.9.0 ubuntu packages. When starting digikam none of the installed plugins are available. But the images display correctly and everything else seem to be OK. The konsole view displays the following error:

digikam: ERROR: : couldn't create slave : Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'digikampreview'.

If i start digikam as superuser (sudo digikam) the plugins are available both in the preferences and the tools menu, but then no images are shown. Starting digikam as su gives the following error :

digikam: WARNING: Failed to list url: Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'digikamalbums'.

The owner of the digicam folders are root, and i have tried to changed the owner to <my username>, but still no plugins available unless logged in as root

I also tried to compile the plugins and digikam from the source tarballs at digikam.org, but with same result, no plugins available (did not try the sudo approach with the compiled version).

I have googled extensively for solutions, but found none. But I have seen several others mentioning the same problem.

It seems the ioslave are not found, at least some of them. That is not good, but certainly an installation issue, or an Ubuntu specific KDE installation problem.

I don't know how Ubuntu does it. Here, the relevant libs can be found at
/usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/kio_digikamalbums.so
(and -dates, -preview, -search, digikamimageplugins_* for image plugins)
The corresponding .desktop files can be found at
/usr/kde/3.5/share/services/digikamalbums.protocol
(etc.)
