[Digikam-users] Digikam freezing

[David King]

I ran the gdb digikam, etc.

I got the following error repeated over and over again:

digikam(16883)/digikam (core) 
Digikam::DatabaseCoreBackend::prepareQuery: Prepare failed!


I then pressed CTRL C to stop it and got the following as well:

digikam(16883)/digikam (core) 
Digikam::DatabaseCoreBackendPrivate::checkRetrySQLiteLockError: Database 
is locked. Waited 4500


The output from bt is:

The Digikam splash screen opened, the main window opened and a dialog 
box that says it was scanning my collection but got no further than 0% 
and then it disappeared. The main window is currently not displaying 
anything other than a large grey area on the left and white area on the 
right plus the title bar (no menus, folders, etc.)


I am guessing it is something to do with the "Database is locked" error.
