Description kaizubg 2026-03-30 05:20:43 UTC 
Description:
Since the updates on March 28, 2026, digiKam (both RPM and AppImage) fails to launch on Fedora 43 (Rawhide). The crash is immediate upon UI initialization.

Technical Details:

Console Warning: libpcre2-8.so.0: no version information available (required by /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0). This indicates a significant ABI mismatch in the core system libraries.

Crash Point: coredumpctl shows a Segfault in libQt6Widgets.so.6 at QToolBar::widgetForAction.

Session Conflict: The logs show an error: Could not register app ID: Connection already associated with an application ID.

Reproducibility:

Occurs in native RPM (9.0.0-3.fc43) and upstream AppImage (9.0.0 and 9.1.0).

Occurs on Wayland and X11.

Crucial Note: A fresh user account (digikam8) can launch the app only because it fails to connect to the primary user's D-Bus session. When a successful D-Bus/Portal connection is made on the main account, the app crashes during DXmlGuiWindow::cleanupActions().

Reproducible: Always
