Pictures still not showing, reopen 165885?

[Dotan Cohen]

Bug 165885 (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165885) complains that
for some users Digikam does not display photos. Some users must supply
environment variables before starting Digikam, and others must move a
specific splitter to work around the bug. The bug is reported as fixed
in SVN as of 2008-07-12.

However, in the digikam that I build this morning from SVN the problem
is not fixed. See my last comment
(http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165885#c12) with screenshot
illustrating the problem. Should I reopen the bug?

I think it is a problem with your system setup... digiKam is unable to find
the appropriate kioslave.

What are your env settings?

Another note: If I setup my system so that it can't find the kioslaves, I get
the same result as you have: The splitter is gone (due of an "empty" album I
guess) ...

Oh right now I have read your comment again in the bugreport: You really can't
find the kioslave. Try to make sure that your settings are correct, this is
not a bug in general!

Please post your env settings for *KDE* and LD_LIBRARY_PATH

And this is the base of all problem to run digiKam on your computer.
Solve kioslave in first before to continue to test and report

I have no problems running digikam, or was this answer for Dotan...?
(I'm a little tired so I might have understood something wrong :-))

I will try to do that, Gilles. I really don't know where to start,
though, but I'll hit google. Which KDE mailing list is appropriate to
ask on?

Thanks for the help, and I apologize if I'm taking up more developer's
resources than I'm helping with.

I'm pretty sure than it's a problem of env. variables not set.

Here, under Mandriva 2008.1, KDE4 is installed to /opt/kde4

if i run digikam like this : /opt/kde4/bin/digikam, i have the same
problem than you...

I need to use the "k4" script to run an application outside KDE4
desktop (this is the case here. i don't run KDE4 but KDE3 desktop,
because this one is stable and need something _stable_ to work)....

So, from shell, i do "k4 digikam"... and all work fine. kioslave run
properlly...

Now, we will see what the k4 script set. Form a fresh konsole instance
under KDE3, i do the following lines :

[gilles@localhost ~]$ export > before.txt
[gilles@localhost ~]$ k4
[gilles@localhost ~]$ export > after.txt
[gilles@localhost ~]$ diff before.txt after.txt

I have two questions right away:

1. Are you running in a pure KDE4 session?
2. If not, where is your KDE3 install folder?

Those are the most important env vals you mentioned:

KDEDIRS=/usr/lib/kde4
KDE_FULL_SESSION=true
KDE_MULTIHEAD=false
KDE_SESSION_UID=1000
KDE_SESSION_VERSION=4
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/lib
PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/bin:/usr/lib/kde4/bin/:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/hardy/.kde4/lib/kde4/plugins/:/usr/lib/kde4/lib/kde4/plugins/

First, try also to set KDEDIR to your current running KDE installation:

KDEDIR=/usr/lib/kde4

Then assign this variable to KDEDIRS, either with the kde3 installation
appended or with the KDE4 install path again:

KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR:/usr/lib/kde4

The rest looks normal to me...

Do you run a script before executing digiKam? A script that might alter the
variables and so change your setup?
Have you tried running kdeinit4 before starting digikam?

Just to be really sure:
Do you have digiKam installed in your system or do you try to run it from
within the source code? This would work except for all the kioslaves that are
started by kdeinit4 / klauncher... the kioslaves have to live under the kde4
install path.

Another little tip:

start digikam and in another console type

whereis digikam
ldd <path_to_digikam_bin>

This shows the linked libraries for that binary...
it should read
/usr/lib/kde4/kio_digikamsearch.so
somewhere. This is the search kioslave. If nothing is listed or "could not be
found" or something like this is listed, some env var is still wrong.

Also try to

lsof | grep -i digi

and look if any kioslaves where started and to which libs they are bound.

And finally look where the kioslaves are installed to:

locate kio_digikam | grep ".so"

Maybe this helps, too.

תודה רבה I do believe that it will help.

I will play with setting environment variables again. I will also look
into doing my Digikam testing on your distro (Mandriva) though I will
probably keep my daily driver on Kubuntu. Like you, I use KDE 3.5.x
for my daily work.

In any case, in ~/.kde

I must cd into ~/digikam-notes/DEV_digikam4/bin/ and I start digikam
from there. I see your point, it's not installed in the right place. I
will try installing it into the system and report back. I don't yet
know how to do that, but I'm pretty sure that changing the environment
variables at the top of the install script will do it. Currently, they
are:

DIGIKAMKDE4=$HOME/digikam-notes/DEV_digikam4
export PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/bin/:$PATH
export LANG=C
export KDEDIRS=$DIGIKAMKDE4:/usr/lib/kde4/

Your KDE3 installation lives under your home folder? This is even more strange
then having KDE4 under /usr/lib...

This is the problem, I'm pretty sure now. KDE4 will never find your kioslaves
in your home folder, you have to install digiKam before you can use it.

Take a look at http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download?q=download/svn
for compile instructions.

I see my folly. KDE4 lives in /usr/lib/kde4 and kde3 lives in /usr/lib/kde3
I was confused with the user's kde settings directory, which is the
true occupant of ~/.kde

Thanks, I am very familiar with that document! My install script is
based on it and on your own notes, Andi.
