[digiKam-users] can't open digikam

[tanja012]

hi there!

since this morning I've used 3-4 hours trying to get Digikam to work again.
googling away, I'm going crazy from reading heaps of technical stuff that I
don't get. 

It might be about half a year ago that I last used Digikam. I've updated my
windows to the very last version a few days ago.

this morning I even uninstalled both Digikam and MariaDB SQL. restarted my
laptop and reinstalled witch was quite a hurdle in it's self. I couldn't
remember half of what I learned last time I installed it.

I used the .msi installer for both Digikam and MariaDB.

everything I know about technical stuff is self-learned so please use simple
terms and instructions though I've coded a bit it's really not much.

Every time I try to open Digikam I end up getting different errors.. I'm
afraid that I actually caused some of those not knowing what I am doing. So
I hope that you can guide me through this so that I don't make bad things
worse.

so from what I remember, I've:
-uninstalled both
-reinstalled both
-configurated Digikam to know where MariaDB is located
-repaired MariaDB
-checked that MariaDB is running
-tried to disable my antivirus(F-Secure)
-restartet my laptop at least 5 times.

both are located on D: drive
versions are:
Digikam 7.1.0
MariaDB 10.5

right now I got a new error again..
it said that there's missing some kind of permission to some "table"
could it be because I made a password for MariaDB when installing? how do I
remove that password?
and then I got this:
<http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/file/t377280/billede_2021-03-16_135353.png> 
now nothing happens at all when trying to open digicam.
all this is just while I'm typing.

and I'm quite convinced that new errors will come on the way to fixing this
mess'*_*


I really hope that you can help me. and sorry for this messy text.. my head
hurts..
Thank you in advance!
