But also when it is so I agree a message for the user is better than quietly do nothing or just crash. Anyway, maybe I have a little more information which might help. I tested with an nfs mount and also (the same album folder) with a samba share mounted with cifs. The behaviour of digikam is the same. I can't say if file locking (and that seems to be the problem with sqlite) is working with samba or not. I can work with V. 0.8.x and 0.9b1 having the album on the network mount. Importing images from the camera works, creating album folder and adding comments or tags - no problem. What's not working is ... 1. to enable the option "Search for new photos on startup" (don't know the exact wording) This will bring up a box on startup with a progress bar which goes to 99% and that's it. Nothing happens. Starting digikiam in the shell gives no output. Interestingly this worked once with V.0.8.?. (By the way, would be nice to have an "update album" function to search for new photos.) Disabling the option makes digikam work again. ~/.kde/share/config/digikamrc: [General Settings] Scan At Start=false 2. importing files or folder into the album. This start a copy process with a normal kde copy box. The box does not change and stays at 0% forever. Surprisingly the files are copied into the right place. It's said that nfs and sqlite doesn't work, but that's not true. Even digikam works. What's not working are the import function of digikam. This might be related to sqlite, I don't know. In my opinion, sqlite on an nfs share shouldn't make any difference when only one user access the db - it's just slower. It would be nice if that get fixed in 0.9 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/digikam/+bug/48282/comments/7 On 2006-08-15T16:55:13+00:00 Rf-kde wrote: One addition. When you get the message "The database could not be actualiced from old to new format" set "Scan At Start=false" as described and remove the file "digikam3.db-journal" from your album path. Now you can work again with the limitation that importing files doesn't work (as described in my previous post).

Too bad we now have to find other applications for photo management, cause digikam is a fantastic tool for the job...

Yes, for ME, that solution would be sufficient - and I could go back to using digikam (after waiting for 2 years) -- digikam will not start with pictures stored on either an NFS or a CIFS disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48282 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to digikam in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

This is partially addressed in KDE4 version of digikam (0.10.0), which is now in Jaunty (and you can try it on Intrepid from digikam-experimental PPA).

[Bug 48282] Re: digikam will not start with pictures stored on either an NFS or a CIFS disk
I'm desperately waiting for a fix of this kind in Ubuntu. I bought a NAS to specifically store my pictures on, and then digikam refused to work with it. In case dot lock files have a performance issue for local filesystems, the sqlite implementation could try to find out if unix locking is supported on the album filesystem and if not, use dot lock files as a fallback option. But maybe the Linux caching makes this irrelevant... The solution of bug http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137694 does not please me. I want to have my tags database on different computers as well.

[Bug 48282] Re: digikam will not start with pictures stored on either an NFS or a CIFS disk
Hi, Some people here could be interested in testing the following patch with 0.9.4svn version : http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-devel/2008-July/019511.html This makes sqlite use .lock files for locking the database which is supported on all platforms and filesystems.

[Bug 48282] Re: digikam will not start with pictures stored on either an NFS or a CIFS disk
If you still have an NFS filesystem try using the mount option nolock. This will lead to loclal locks only, so be sure to not work from two machines at the same time. I do not know if CIFS knows this option too. Another option would be to move the database to a local filesystem (your home) and do an symbolic link. In this case the data is only available on one machine and has to be synced by you somehow. This problem was discussed several times on the digicam mailinglist.

[Bug 48282] Re: digikam will not start with pictures stored on either an NFS or a CIFS disk
digikam 0.10 is based on KDE4 and more or less a rewrite. IMHO it's not something to consider for hardy. If nothing goes wrong digikam 0.10 will be ready together for KDE 4.1 in Juli and there will be backports, either officiall ones or in my repo.

[Bug 48282] Re: digikam will not start with pictures stored on either an NFS or a CIFS disk
Bug 121005 does not say that. If there is a solution presented by sqlite it will probably be implemented. You can use a compile time option to store the db in your home folder instead of near the album folder. If that's a solution for you use that.
