Hi, I did an update today and great news!<br>
I just got DK4.3.0 working like a charm, without crashing at startup
or while opening big albums, regardless of how many videos I have
together with the photos, nor the heavy use of tags, etc.<br>
So for those that have the same issues I had on OpenSuSE 13.1
(x86_64), here I share the packages I got for DK and libkexiv2:<br>

<pre wrap="">Strange indeed since the fix is stated to be included starting on
libkexiv2-4.14.2.
I found a source file 4.14.40 (and its devel file as well) from:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/SC/openSUSE_Factory/src/libkexiv2-4.14.40-14.1.src.rpm">http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/SC/openSUSE_Factory/src/libkexiv2-4.14.40-14.1.src.rpm</a>
It seems to be a more recent version, so I got it compiled using
rpmbuild and installed it. Initially it did look like finally I got
tamed this issue but no. DK4.3.0 crashes anyway.
So I downloaded the most recent source version of libkexiv2 from
KDE:CURRENT repo (and its devel version as well):
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Current/openSUSE_13.1/src/libkexiv2-4.14.1-1.1.src.rpm">http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Current/openSUSE_13.1/src/libkexiv2-4.14.1-1.1.src.rpm</a>
I extracted the source file, then replaced its kexiv2previews.cpp with
Gilles's fixed file, compressed again using gzip and renamed it as
*.src.rpm but rpmbuild did not recognized it. :-(
I tried with several compressed formats but nothing resulted in a file
that rpmbuild could recognize as a source rpm package. If what I am
doing wrong is easy to correct (the compressing step of the folder into
a src.rpm file) it would be great if somebody helps me with, since this
could allow confirming that Gille's fix of libkexiv2 can solve this
issue and help other OpenSuSE users with a similar DK4.3.0 situation.

<pre wrap="">Hi Gilles, OpenSuSE has its own libkexiv2 package versioning. I have
installed the libkexiv2-11 (aka 4.13.2-4.1). I searched for a more
recent version on the online built service, and found available in
Factory repo just a source file version 4.14.1. No idea if this already
includes your fix on it.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Distro:/Factory/openSUSE_Factory/src/libkexiv2-4.14.1-122.2.src.rpm">http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Distro:/Factory/openSUSE_Factory/src/libkexiv2-4.14.1-122.2.src.rpm</a>
Decompressing the tar file shows folders with one of them containing a
kexiv2previews.cpp file that I guess I should replace with your fix file
and try compiling it and installing it. But I have just a preliminary
idea about how to do it. I recall that in OpenSuSE the "easy" way is
using as root the command "rpmbuild --rebuild package.src.rpm" and then
install it later as any rpm package. However, for this I have to install
also libexiv2-devel (no problem with this) and libkde4-devel that in my
system needs to downgrade too many kde base and core files just to run.
The other option, using "./configure" then "make" and "make install" as
root, did not worked neither (resulted in "no makefile found"). I may
doing something wrong for sure and I know this is out of Digikam's forum
scope anyway.
To prevent these issues, I use to install DK as well as its dependencies
(e.g. libkexiv2) from distro packages rather than compiling them from
source. But since even on repos with unstable/developing packages for
OpenSuSE I see not other package to upgrade to libkexiv2 (2.3.2), I have
no idea how to solve it other than waiting for an "official" rpm that
upgrades libkexiv2 with the fix. I tried with a second PC that just got
updated to DK4.3.0 automatically from OpenSuSE's KDE:EXTRA repo and
experienced the same result. I guess the packagers at OpenSuSE are not
including your findings about libkexiv2 and many will experience these
crashes.
Thanks Gilles, at least now I know where is the problem.

I ready fixed this problem in source code.
There is a report which still open about this topic, where i annotate
which simple commit i do to fix it in libkexiv2 :

I upgraded libkexiv2 version to 2.3.2. If digiKam do not use this
version it will crash.
digiKam have been released with this version of libkexiv2, but
packager drop libkexiv2 source code from tarball and use system based
library.
The solution from packager is to backport my little commit in libkexiv2 package.

Hi, I wonder if other may be experiencing the same as I do.
I have auto-update enabled (I know, It should not), and today my DK
4.2.0 got updated to DK 4.3.0 (nice dog on the welcome picture btw).
The problem is that this version crashes just a second after its process
is 100% done (when thumbnails should show up). Repeating attempts
produce the same result (crashed) but sometimes it reaches to show some
thumbnails when it crushes.
I checked the phonon backend and tried with Gstreamer as well as with
VLC, with no difference.
This is under OpenSuSE 13.1-x86_64 with KDE 4.11.5
If I try running DK from the konsole, I get this:
(...)
I tried cleaning temp files as well as rebooting the PC, and checking
updates with Yast, but nothing seems to solve the problem. I have no
clue how to solve this DK4.3.0 crash, and I use DK for work and this is
urgent for me, so I decided to go back to 4.2.0 however I have not been
able. I only found it on the "Factory" repo, but it request for
kdebase4-runtime version >=4.14.0 but all my KDE is 4.11.5 (which is
supposed to be up to date "stable" SuSE release). I may try to update to
KDE 4.14.0 but this can result in total mess. I just do not understand
why I cannot go back to the same version of DK 4.2.0 that I had just
hours ago in thi very same KDE... maybe it is a SuSE packaging issue and
not a DK issue, no idea.
Anybody else with this issue? or any hint where to look for a solution?
Thanks a lot

I don't know how you use Digikam, and which part of the functionality you
use, but you can go back to Digikam 3.5.0 (which is still in the Yast
repositories for OpenSuse 13.1). I've been switching back and forth between
3.5 and 4.x a few times without problems, but back up the databases to be
safe(r).
Remco
Hi Remco, I use Digikam a lot, mainly as a graphic database (filtering using
the tagging tools). DK 4.2.0 was a great version for me since many
improvements were achieved on the tagging side. No idea why DK4.2.0 on SuSE
repos are requesting for KDE versions others than those on which it was
running just fine.
I was able to find on the Build Service a repo with DK 4.0.0 to downgrade
from 4.3.0 and check the results. I use SpiderOak to backup constantly the
database.
I got it and regained immediate control over DK and my files as well...
great.
Then upgraded to 4.3.0 to double test, and again DK crashes but somehow now
they take longer to crash. In fact, DK opens fine with the root Album
selected as default and it can stay there fine until I select other Album
(with images inside). That is when it starts rebuilding the thumbnails
(recently I deleted my thumbnail.db file). The mystery is that it crashed
almost randomly depending on what folder I select. With some, it does the
job fine but with others no hope, it crashed immediately. So, maybe this is
something related to previews / thumbnails...
When I restarted DK, I disabled both "include Album.. sub-tree" options
under menu/View/. By disabling these features, I selected the same
folder/album that always produced crashes and this time no crash. Then
selected one of its sub-folders, with images inside and it crashed again...
I went back to DK4.0.0 and regained control again. Since DK4.3.0 seems to
crash when creating the new thumbnails of large number of images, I used
4.0.0 to rebuild all thumbnails. Then updated to 4.3.0 to see if it shows
the albums without crashing, but I was not lucky. The folders starts showing
up and DK crash. Some open fine and other not at all. It feels somehow like
albums with larger number of files tend to crash more often than those with
lower amount of files. It am not sure. But then, the thumbnail building
process does not seem to be a key part of the problem... Another difference
with DK4.3.0 is that after the welcoming frame closes (with the nice dog
jumping) it takes about 15 seconds to open digikam's interface (DK4.2.0
takes no time between the two).
KDE Crash handler reports the event as : "Executable: digikam PID: 2876
Signal: Segmentation fault (11)".
and KDE backtrace report shows this:
Application: digiKam (digikam), signal: Segmentation fault
