[digiKam-users] Help getting digiKam to load

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Can you reproduce the problem using the digiKam Linux AppImage bundle,
which contains all the necessary dependencies to run without to use the
system library. This can identify a packaging problem with your system.

Else, a console trace at digiKam startup can help to identify the source of
the problem.
