[digiKam-users] Help getting digiKam to load

[Garth Kay-Hards]

Hello

I have a 64bit machine and use OpenSuse with Gnome and have used digiKam a
lot in past versions of my OS, but since I went onto OpenSuse Leap 41.3 I
could not get digiKam to load the database and my photos. I gave up for
some time and used the Windows version (which I don't like as much as it
doesn't handle batch resizing like the Linux version).

I thought I'd just wait till the new release of Leap 15.0 was out and
reload it then.  Well I have a brand new install of Leap 15.0 and I
installed digiKam without any problems. It installed as normal which
includes installing a whole heap of KDE software. But when I try to load
the program it gets to the point of trying to load the database and hangs
up with the message - "Error while opening the database. digiKam will try
to automatically reconnect to the database." It just stops there.

I thought perhaps SQlite hadn't been loaded and went to the Software
manager where I saw that libsqlite3-0 was installed. I scrolled down and
installed sqlite3 to see if it would help, but no it didn't.

I need someone's help please as I really love this photo editor.

Regards

Garth
