after upgrade digikam won't start

Hi,

I upgraded and migrated my system from Ubuntu to Kubuntu 13.4. I'm not
sure what the previous version of Ubuntu was.
In any case, digikam won't start. I tried a lot of things, it
obviously also destroyed the database in the process (it was about 4
MB in size, now it's 400 kB). I was thoughtless enough not to make a
backup. Well, that's my fault.
I let it rebuild digikam.rc with no success. Every time I want to add
the folders with images to the album, I get a message saying that
digikam couldn't connect to the database. When digikam is started, it
gives the message that migration (or so) from dabase schema 6 to 7
didn't work.
I don't care much about meta tags and so on, I just want to be able to
use digikam, but it plainly refuses to load/show any of my images.

It's digikam 3.1.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

Martin

I am an openSUSE user, don't know Ubuntu well, but when I have similar issues in openSUSE
I start digikam from the command line (CLI) in a terminal window.

Usually, additional messages/error messages  reveal the issues.

Carl mentioned already to see messages at the cli. If that doesn't solve your problem, you can move the data base out of the way, Digikam will then create a new one. Since you probably have all your tags in the exif fields of your photos, you may not even loose them. Plus, since you're on it, you can also move all your config out of the way. Digikam should also create a clean set again.
