digikam finds images only as root

Armond Paiva
   As non-root user, all folders are scanned by digikam, but according
   to digikam's image display,  it's as if all folders are empty... no
   images.

   Immediately after reinstalling KDE, all images were displayed fine
   from a non-root user.

   However, after a reboot, it's back to the initial scenario....
   images are only 'detected' by the 'root' user.  According to all
   non-root users, there are no images.

   Any help will be appreciated.  Digikam is quite handy when it works.

   Thanks, -Armond

I am not sure if we have all bits of information needed
to help you ;-). So let's see:


1) Did you compile digikam yourself (from the tarball, or svn?)
   a) If so, to which place?
   b) Have you tried to you run kdeinit after setting
      the environment variables correctly, after installation?

   (For installation from svn have a look at
    http://www.digikam.org/?q=download/svn
   For tarball installations:
2) If you used packages from your distribution:
   a) which distribution
   b) which packages?

   For information on pre-built packages see:
   http://www.digikam.org/?q=download/binary/


Best, Arnd

Re: digikam finds images only as root

Bugzilla from gandalf.lechner@esi.ac.at
In reply to this post by Armond Paiva
I experienced a similar behaviour when having images in my collection which
were owned by root. Maybe you should check the read/write permissions of the
images.

Regards,

Gandalf
