[digiKam-users] Help getting digiKam to load

[Jim Orcheson]

Hi,

I am new to this list and mailman in general, so I may not be replying 
properly to the message below from Gilles Caulier. I retrieved the text 
below from the archives.


I can confirm that the AppImage does work properly on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.


The package that is missing when digikam is installed on OpenSUSE with 
GNOME is libQt5Sql5-sqlite.


sudo zypper in libQt5Sql5-sqlite


fixes the problem. I will follow up with OpenSUSE on this.
