Hi Johnny,<br>
Thanks for the explanations, it has been very informative and I am
looking forward to your next contribution to the list.<br>
<br>
<br>
For your information. <br>
Don´t bother to much about it I am just playing around to see what I
can do and to have some great answers around if someone asks. No
important matters involved here.<br>
<br>
One internal and one external drive has been correctly mounted. They
are visible in nautilus I can move my files but not copy!??<br>
<br>
ls by uuid works correct<br>
<br>
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
<br>
total 0

ls by label does not. In my dayly setup it works, but not in the VM<br>
<br>
ls -l /dev/disk/by-label

<pre wrap="">I have something similar at hand at the moment, wrestling with the setup from
virtual box, it refuses to read from existing database.
I pointed in digikamrc to the place where db exist, in my normal setup db works
with my pictures in the path /media/FOTO/FOTO/ARCHIEF/
but it kept stubbornly saying: path FOTO/ARCHIEF/ not found, so it looks like
it uses a reletive path and doesn know about the base media/FOTO (which is the
mounted drive called ¨FOTO¨.)
any ideas?

<pre wrap="">I don't use any virtual boxes, the only guesses is that the /FOTO folder
is duplicated, although this may of course be correct.
In digikamrc, try to verify that the correct path is set at all proper
locations, try a 'find and replace' /old/db/name to /new/db/name and
ensure you use absolute paths.
EDIT: It seems digikam edits the digikamrc file when opening
digikam. Therefore it is probably futile to edit this
directly. Exploring the database, there is a table 'albumroots'
containing a field 'identifier' that seems to be the uuid to the disk
and a 'specificPath' identifier that locates the proper folder on that
disk; in your case the FOTO/ARCHIEF part. It seems that for some reason,
the 'identifier' field pointing to the disk is not picked up correctly
when you run digikam from your VM.
Use the 'sqlite3 /your/digikam.db' and run 'select * from albumroots;'
and you will see your fields. You can take note of the uuid, '.exit'
sqlite3 and 'ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid' from the shell, look for your
uuid, see which disk it mounts as (e.g. 'sdd7' or similar). If you do
'ls -l /dev/disk/by-label' you can see if this is your drive labelled
'FOTO'. If this is correct, make sure it is mounted.
If the above works fine from the VM, I think it should work?
