> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<br> ><br> > Hi,<br> ><br> > What do you mean by "NAS" exactly ? A network file system ?<br> ><br> <br> Sorry, I hate it myself when people use acronyms and contractions when<br>
communicating with others who may not know the jargon.<br> <br> NAS - "Network Accessible Storage". I have a D-Link DNS-323 Network drive that<br> is configured with two hard drives with mirror imaging. All my computers are<br>
connected to it and all the shared files are kept on it rather than on the<br> individual computers. It works well on a network composed of both Windows and<br> Linux computers.<br> <br> I was testing Digikam on local files on an Ubuntu Box and when I decided on<br>
which photo management application to keep (Digikam) I pointed Digikam to the<br> NAS device by changing the Digikam setup.<br> <br> It seemed to work perfectly until I started moving and deleting photo files.<br> After deleting a couple of files, Digikam froze and the drive indicator lights<br>
on the NAS began blinking furiously, and access from other computers slowed to a<br> crawl. That went on for for about five minutes until I lost my nerve. I could<br> not kill Digikam so I re-booted the Ubuntu computer.<br>
<br> When I restarted it and tried to re-start Digikam, I got the error message<br> described above. I re-tried with no success so then I tried to un-install<br> Digikam, deleted all residual files that I could find that contained digikam,<br>
and re-installed Digikam.<br> <br> Despite doing all that, when I try to re-start Digikam, I still get the same error.<br> <br> I would like to keep Digikam and find a work-around if possible, but I need to<br> know where Digikam keeps the database that the message referred to and how I can<br>
re-build it without being able to start Digikam.<br> <br> Is there a "safe mode" to start Digikam?<br> <br> Any advice or information you can provide would be much appreciated. I am quite<br> new to Linux, having only played with it for a few months, but it looks like it<br>
is a viable replacement for Windows although perhaps we will still need one or<br> two virtual Windows machines for a few Windows dependent applications.<br> <br> Thanks<br> <br> Mac<br> <br> </blockquote></div><br>Duing a problem with QSlite against remote file system, digiKam 0.9.x is not compatible by default with NAS, because sqlite file used by digiKam is hosted on root album.<br>
<br>There is a way to wrap around this problem using file-link. Look here : <br><br><a href="http://www.digikam.org/?q=node/219">http://www.digikam.org/?q=node/219</a><br><br>Of course with future 0.10.0 release (KDE4 port), this problem have been fixed (plus a lots of new features) :<br>
