[SOLVED] digikam segfaults

Hi there,

I've got three machines here at home. The first one is on "testing" and has digikam installed.
As I opened digikam today the startup splash was shown and suddenly shut down due to a segfault.

I tested digikam on the two other machines.

The second one is also on "testing". Same result (segfault) here even though digikam was never installed before.

The third one was not on "testing" and digikam was not installed before either. The result was seeing digikam working here.

This ist the console output of the first machine:

Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. please move it to /home/marcus/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf manually

Re: [SOLVED] digikam segfaults

Here the same problem. I deleted the digikamrc and the digikam folder in .kde4 and the databases, but this doesn't work. I also installed the latest updates. Hopefully there is a solution for this.

I've found something about it: http://kaosx.us/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=358
Removing gstreamer0.10-good gstreamer0.10-good-plugins made digikam works again!

Re: [SOLVED] digikam segfaults

Confirming that the workaround does the trick. Removal also implied deletion of some kde-telepathy packages

All kde-telepathy packages can be build with gstreamer 1.0 depends, just a matter of getting the right sources, been working very well since March/April.

Re: [SOLVED] digikam segfaults

I have to the best of my knowledge no packages from [testing] installed but experienced the same almost right after doing some
experimenting re sqlite/mysql; this thread saved my sanity!

Three points:

1. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Digikam explicitly suggest installing gstreamer0.10-good -- under Troubleshooting.

2. community/subtitleeditor depends on gstreamer0.10-good-plugins (no problem for me, though).

3. What happened anyway? My logs say

       [2014-08-21 09:46] upgraded digikam (4.2.0-1 -> 4.2.0-2)
    and
       [2014-04-24 12:22] upgraded gstreamer0.10-good[-plugins] (0.10.31-5 -> 0.10.31-6)

    It may have been in August that I did my database fiddling but the crashes started around the same time as in the op. From the
    log entries it doesn't look like there was anything disruptive happening.

Re: [SOLVED] digikam segfaults

In fact, if you use phonon-qt4-vlc, you don't need gstreamer0.10-good to use digikam.

Thanks, that was vital to see videos in Digikam again.

Re: [SOLVED] digikam segfaults

Digikam 4.3.0 is out by the way!  I've installed it and works fine (with phonon-vlc).
