digiKam in openSUSE 11.1 and newest KDE 4.4.1

[Micha? Smoczyk]

Dear digiKam users,
I want to ask if someone of you is using digiKam with no problem
(crashes etc.) with openSUSE 11.1 distro and newest KDE 4.4.1 desktop.

Now I've got installed from packages:
digiKam 1.0.0-37.1
Kipi-plugins 1.0.0-48.1
KDE 4.3.90 (KDE 4.4 RC1) release 212
Qt 4.6.0+4.6.20100105

and I am experiencing sometimes crashes when working with Kipi
plug-ins (geolocation, crop, sharpen), caused I suppose by Qt
version. But other components (marble, exiv2) works smoothly and I
can live with it.

And I don't want to experiment and update packages to get broken
installation, I /need/ digiKam which works. So, if someone could
tell, which version of packages it is safely to install to get
working updated installation and from which repository (Trunk of Core).

Regards,

I had some of these bugs using kde sc 4.4 rcs on opensuse 11.2, since kde sc
4.4.1 is out, digikam works fine. I use the kde4 factory repository.

More recent stable versions are available, so the crashes might be solved in
those.

Why would you use RC1 packages, if KDE 4.4.1 packages are available?

Same as above.

Installing RC1 is calling for trouble so if you do not want to get a broken
installation, why did you update to unstable packages in the first place?

Yes, might be, but are you sure? I was asking to be sure. Which
version of packages and from which repository do you use?

Those were the most up-to-date available versions when I've updated
my KDE the last time. And I did not wanted to update later, because
digiKam were running quite smooth for me.

Yes Sven, but that's exactly why I am looking for answer: are new
available packages for openSUSE /stable/? I've got previously a few
times installed openSUSE packages which were broken, for example
Marble was corrupted, exiv2 without possibility to write in some
files or even digiKam was crashed during startup.

However, I've had updated a while ago digiKam and KDE from KDE
Factory repo and everything seems to be fine at first look. It needs
some intensive testing now. Regards,
