This is a Software Collection. That all !

Thanks for this comment! I was always confused as to what "software collection" meant. So, digikam 4.4 is out.

I previously had ver. 4.0.0 installed from another ppa, which I removed. It worked but was unstable, crashing without warning 3-4 times a day. I installed 4.4.0 on my Kubuntu 14.04 machine (recent install) and now all I get is the splash screen. Then nothing.

I tried launching DigiKam from a console and this is the errors I'm getting:

charles@Charles-Kubuntu:~$ digikam
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceAdded(QDBusObjectPath)
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceRemoved(QDBusObjectPath)
Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.
IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon
digikam: symbol lookup error: digikam: undefined symbol: _ZNK11KExiv2Iface14AltLangStrEdit8textEditEv
charles@Charles-Kubuntu:~$

Thanks.

Update from digikam 4.0 to 4.4 does not work for me using philipp/extra and kubuntu/backports.

I have a "native" Ubuntu 14.04 installed.

Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
digikam : Hängt ab von: libkgeomap1 (>= 1.0~digikam4.3.0) aber 1.0~digikam4.0.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa2 soll installiert werden
E: Probleme können nicht korrigiert werden, Sie haben zurückgehaltene defekte Pakete.

Any suggestions or workarounds,

Georg

After update KDE to 4:4.14.2 in my Kubuntu 14.04 digikam does not start.
This Error comes up:
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceAdded(QDBusObjectPath)
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceRemoved(QDBusObjectPath)
Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.
IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon
digikam: symbol lookup error: digikam: undefined symbol: _ZNK11KExiv2Iface14AltLangStrEdit8textEditEv

I had both backports enabled
http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/extra/ubuntu
http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu

Solution for me at the moment: uninstall DigiKam 4.4 (apt-get uninstall digikam) and untick the software source from philip5 and go back to digikam 4.0 (apt-get install digikam)

Thanks

1. To update the KDE to 4:4.14.2 I have this backport ppa enabled by copying the following line to the software sources in MUON
"deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu trusty main"
2. To update Digikam I have enabled the philip5 ppas (thanks!)
"deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/kubuntu-backports/ubuntu trusty main "
AND
"deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/extra/ubuntu trusty main "
Complete the update

may be restart

But due do some dependencies when using KDE 4:4.14.2 you NEED to do the following steps then as well:
sudo apt-get install libkexiv2-11=4:4.14.1-trusty~ppa1kde414

further : the Database sqlite3 needs to be updated as well (Thanks to Jan).
1. Download the packages sqlite3 [1] and libsqlite3-0 [2] from the upcoming new Ubuntu version 14.10, "Utopic". e.g. the 64 bit amd64
1.1 If you have Skype installed you need to update also the 32 bit version (i386) of libsqlite3-0 (3.8.6-1)
2. Save all *.deb packages in a new folder. e.g. /Downloads/sqlite
3. Go with in the terminal to that folder e.g. cd /Downloads/sqlite
3. Call in that folder: sudo dpkg -i *.deb

[1] http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/sqlite3
[2] http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/libsqlite3-0

I am eagerly waiting for an upgrade as well.. 4.2 crashes for me on startup, so i'm even further behind right now :-(

aidan, the windows release of 4.4 is now available!

Now version 4.4 is very stable in linux (kubuntu 14.04.1)

Thanks

Hi.

Oh, bad analyses. If I use the external db, digikam freezes after few seconds by clicking in the settings menu.

If I use the internal db, the navigation in the settings menu is ok, but settings in the kipi-modul (in the settings menu) is not saved after restart digikam.

The version 4.4 is stable and good for production see my post little further up in the thread:
"How to install Digikam 4.4.0 Kubuntu 14.04
Submitted by Christian Graesser (not verified) on Sat, 2014-10-18 11:22."

Yes, usually when installing for the first time it behaves erratically:
First, after install run defragmentation on disk it's installed.
Then open it (sometimes takes a lot) and be sure to configure your database properly in a location of your fastest disk. If you have a lot of pictures, try to see if you can load only a part of them by distributing in several albums. Once you have done this, take a tour over these first albums and configure some aspects of digikam, interface, writing data, etc. No tags, no geolocation yet and no-nay-never face recognition, please. Close digikam and open it again and go foward adding more pics. If you have trouble, see if after closing are there task that still running (digikam, kdelauncher and so) and kill them, then restart digikam. Step by step you will see it'll behave better. (in windows there are things that will always crash, but other will be corrected) Yes, it's something like to let the program to adapt to your computer (or viceversa) Continue step to step and make a database backup (only digikam.db, I mean) Start with tags (do not hurry) If you are able to, check database (I test identical copies of database file against linux and windows) Be patient. Most stable version for windows is 3.4 then, 4.2, and face recognition is a nightmare and has its own database in "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Program data\.kde\share\apps\libkface\database" It can grow very, very much; don't recommend using it until gets improved.
Good luck.
