Bug ID: 388345 Summary: AppImage MySQL connection issues Product: digikam Version: 5.8.0 Platform: Appimage OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Bundle-AppImage Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: bbc.qui...@gmx.de Target Milestone: --- Usually I'm running digikam with MySQL server backend. For testing purposes I tried to use digikam-5.8.0-20171229T043903-x86-64.appimage, but I cannot connect to my database. It works with the very same settings using the conventionally installed version, but not with the appimage. The latter one complains: -- digiKam AppImage Bundle -- Use 'help' as CLI argument to know all available options digikam.widgets: Breeze icons ressource file found digikam.general: AlbumWatch use QFileSystemWatcher digikam.general: Database Parameters: Type: "QMYSQL" DB Core Name: "digikam-appimage" DB Thumbs Name: "" DB Face Name: "" Connect Options: "" Host Name: "localhost" Host port: 3306 Internal Server: false Internal Server Path: "" Internal Server Serv Cmd: "" Internal Server Init Cmd: "" Username: "digikam-appimage" Password: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" digikam.dbengine: Error while opening the database. Error details [ QSqlError("2002", "QMYSQL: Unable to connect", "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)") ] The installed version goes over this and starts doing it's usual things: digikam.general: AlbumWatch use QFileSystemWatcher digikam.general: Database Parameters: Type: "QMYSQL" DB Core Name: "digikam-appimage" DB Thumbs Name: "" DB Face Name: "" Connect Options: "" Host Name: "localhost" Host port: 3306 Internal Server: false Internal Server Path: "" Internal Server Serv Cmd: "" Internal Server Init Cmd: "" Username: "digikam-appimage" Password: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" digikam.dbengine: Loading SQL code from config file "/usr/share/digikam/database/dbconfig.xml" digikam.dbengine: Checking XML version ID => expected: 3 found: 3 digikam.coredb: Core database: running schema update digikam.coredb: Core database: have a structure version 8 digikam.coredb: Core database: makeUpdates 8 to 8 Indeed there is no MySQL socket at /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock but at /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock (Gentoo standard) which is magically corrected in the installed version. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
