Hi,
I see 2 problems from the log. first one is the most important:

Your digikamrc file is corrupted. this one hosts all settings,
including the collections. I don't know how you arrives at this stage,
but this can explain why digiKam fails to run.
Look also the second one :

Hard drive failure ? virus ???
