            Bug ID: 319142
           Summary: Digikam  complains it cannot find the database and
                    then hangs forever.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Database
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

Forever may be an exaggeration - but it is longer than 3 hours.

OpenSuse 12.3 - Digikam installed from OpenSuse site.  Digikam was happy in
OpenSuse 12.1.

storage names have been modified as has the location of Photos and the .db file
(which is and was in the Photos directory.

Is there a way of editing the digikam configuration file with an editor to
refine variables so that Digikam will be able to find the db file and start up.

Note that I am computer literate (to a degree) but still finding my way around
Linux.

Look in your ~/.kde4/share/config/digikamrc file, especially in Database
Settings section...

On installing Libreoffice 4.0.2.2.1.1.1 and Libreoffice 3.6.2.6.4 the
Australian Spell checker and the Australian Dictionary and Thesaurus were not
available. After much searching the following site was located:

http://libreoffice-na.us/English-4.0-installs/dictionary.html#english

The North America LibreOffice Community DVD site.

I installed the English Australian Dictionary – twice – the first install
installed the Spell checker, (clicking on Green English Australian Dictionary
which downloaded and opened the extension installer tool) and the second, the
Dictionary and Thesaurus. I then for good measure installed the
Australian-medical dictionary, closed all of Libreoffice then reopened and was
then able to select the English Australian spell checking.

That this was done automatically for many variations of Libreoffice and then
for it to stop working I found very frustrating and I was on the verge of
removing Linux and reverting back to Windows whose Installation process is much
cleaner, its file structure more logical and it's applications (including
Libreoffice) just work.

Very sorry, I copied the wrong fix here.  Digikam is now working I am running
OpenSuse 12.3 and deleted DigiKam then reinstalled 3.1.0. On first start up, I
cancelled the auto search for Database and DigiKam did not crash!!! I then
modified all the path statements pointing them to all the existing locations
and everything is working fine now.  

Again, sorry about the post about Libreoffice - but it may help lots of users
that seem to be having similar problems with a variety of languages.
