[digiKam-users] --> Digikam 6.3 unstable and DEBUG

[Gilles Caulier]

So if i understand correctly, you have used MAcOS and you migrate under
Linux, as you use AppImage now.

So, starting AppImage from the console must print a lots of debug
statements. If not, there is a wrong settings somewhere in your system.
Which Linux distribution do you use exactly ?
