Description Bit Juggler 2023-06-05 07:22:18 UTC

digikam fails to start and gives the error message

“digikam: error while loading shared libraries: libjack.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

My system is

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230603
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0
Qt Version: 5.15.9
Kernel Version: 6.3.4-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 4600
digikam 8.0.0-3.2
pipewire-libjack-0_3 0.3.71-3.1


My system uses pipewire for audio and there is a file /usr/lib64/pipewire-0.3/jack/libjack.so.0.

I created a symlink /usr/lib64/libjack.so.0 (pointing to /usr/lib64/pipewire-0.3/jack/libjack.so.0) and now digikam starts without problems.

However I do not know if my “workaround” will not cause any other (yet unknown to me) problems in the future operation of digikam.

Other apps are broken too, blender for example. It helps to start them with 'pw-jack blender', but for example for qjackcontrol or qsampler it helps them to start, but they don't work properly anyway.

This bug report is a consequence of:
<https://forums.opensuse.org/t/digikam-fails-to-start-with-error-while-loading-shared-libraries-libjack-so-0/166682>

I found that using pipewire to the exclusion of pulseaudio, without pipewire-libjack-0_3 installed, KDE3 system sounds cannot be made to work in 15.5. I have yet to determine if this applies also in TW.

Already reported for mpd.
