[Digikam-users] Re: difference between 64 and 32 bit kubuntu for digikam

[sleepless]

There is a fair chance that I am not capable enough to help but my first 
idea:
You might get some useful information when you start digikam from 
console and have a look what comes along there during the starting proces.
