[digiKam-users] Connection to Mariadb

[mippo]

Hello, I'm trying to migrate database to Mariadb (5.5.57).
Due to more than 50,000 photos.
But during  "Test connection"  I get an error "Driver not loaded" (written
twice)

Did someone already experienced this ?

Which digikam version ?

Which OS ?

Did you try to use the offcial AppImage bundle instead the official native package ?

Hello Gilles,

Digikam version is 5.9.0.
OS is KDE (Neon)
NAS I use is QNAP (TS-251+)
Running Mariadb (5.5.57)


About AppImage , I've just tried for the first time, but without success, it
doesn't install it.
if you deem important I could try again.

Appimages are not for install. They are not installed, they are launched from
the folder you put it.
I think you should first uninstall Digikam native version of you operating
system, then you should make a backup of the Digikam database and the last
step is to make the appimage executable, changing file properties.

Then you can launch Digikam by clicking on the Appimage.

Hello Rafael,

actually I don't want to uninstall Gigikam ...
I have some customization, prefer to wait for the next 6.0 release (please,
when is it planned?)

anyway I've tried the Appimage on a Ubuntu (16.04), activated by double
click, got this error:
<http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/file/t376715/Schermata_del_2018-08-19_16-26-36.png>
(no file_to_app result to show)


also, please, why not to put the link to this Forum in the "Support" section
in the Digikam web page?
(it seems missing...)

You DONT need to uninstall your current native package using AppImage, as it's already mentioned in this thread. Do you read well the contents.

 

I have some customization, prefer to wait for the next 6.0 release (please,
when is it planned?)

digiKam 6.0.0-beta1 tarball just pushed on download server. The release announcement will be written soon.

 

anyway I've tried the Appimage on a Ubuntu (16.04), activated by double
click, got this error:

Double click ? you want mean to set appimage file as executable and run it with double click through file manager.

Seriously, this is a simple task to do without to see this kind of error. Read this :

also, please, why not to put the link to this Forum in the "Support" section
in the Digikam web page?

Mailing list are listed to digiKam.org :

What else ?

Dear Gilles,

about *Appimage*:
tried again, and now with one click only, it starts, but:
1) the release of DK appears to be as 5.9.0  (and not as 5.9.0-01)  
    so how I can be sure it is running the Appimage, instead of the current
installed 5.9.0 release ?
2) the error now I get, after testing connection command, is:
   
<http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/file/t376715/Screenshot_20180820_190800.png>
    please note the difference in the internal IP code, where my NAS (host)
has the final as 158, but the error reports as 139 (?!?)


about the *Forum link*:
I meant this link-->  http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/
it could be very useful to have accessible in the
https://www.digikam.org/support/ page.

I'm sorry to boring you, but Linux require a lot of patience, and hopefully
it seems we have it.
