Description Rastislav Krupansky 2008-02-10 11:38:25 UTC
Whenever i want to start konsole, it will crash.
I would provide a valid backtrace, but i do not know which one package i should install for backtrace konsole.(gdb,kgdb packages i have installed)

Does it run for you when started from some console/xterm/mini-cli?

Starting from an xterm yields:

<unknown program name>(3614)/: Communication problem with "konsole", it probably crashed
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "

KCrash: Application 'konsole' crashing...
sock_file=/home/linux/.kde4/socket-linux/kdeinit4__0

Comment 4 Rastislav Krupansky 2008-02-11 11:29:24 UTC
Yes, i can confirm the same error from xterm.
But for example, i launched Konsole successfully from Kate's Terminal and then it worked also from menu until log out.

So, i installed kdebase4-debuginfo, but i'm still not able to create a valid backtrace.
I still obtained:

This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

This doesn't work for me. Typing 'konsole' in the Kate Terminal gets the same error message I got from xterm. This is on the openSUSE 11.0 Alpha2 KDE LiveCD. I haven't installed yet.
Comment 6 Huub Schaeks 2008-02-11 14:02:18 UTC
Some information that may or may not be useful:
When I do 'su' in xterm and try 'konsole' after that there is no crash. 'ps ax' (in a second xterm) shows two 'konsole' processes running which both disappear when I CTR-C in the first xterm. 'top' shows both those processes to be sleeping.

Huub
Comment 7 Alexey Eremenko 2008-02-11 14:38:41 UTC
Yes, I also experience some crashes on Konsole 4 startup.

BTW: Core files don't get generated for me.

Comment 9 Rastislav Krupansky 2008-02-13 21:58:17 UTC
I tried to create backtrace using gdb from kate's terminal.After command "run" konsole (and also systemsettings from bug 360172) launched and i obtain message in terminal "Program exited normally"

Comment 10 Szabolcs Illes 2008-03-01 12:14:54 UTC
I have reported the same problem to the kde's bugzilla with a backtrace using the debuginfo packages:

Comment 11 Stephan Binner 2008-03-13 08:28:33 UTC
Upstream bug report has been closed with "It works in 4.0.2". Please reopen if this problem still exist with current packages/Alpha 3.
Comment 12 pragnesh radadiya 2008-03-20 09:24:06 UTC
it is still exist in Alpha3 KDE cd
Comment 13 pragnesh radadiya 2008-03-20 09:32:02 UTC
but it is working properly if i open konqueror for file view and press "F4" to open the Konsole.
Comment 14 Rastislav Krupansky 2008-03-23 11:00:45 UTC
Still exists in Alpha3
Comment 15 Robin Knapp 2008-04-01 13:46:12 UTC
Still crashes in alpha3 with recent updates...

Copy comment from Bug 372726:

----- snip -----

Mhh.. I have a crashing konsole, too (like in Bug 372662) but not always and
not with every user. Sometime s calling su <username> before starting konsole
from an xterm helps.

Today I installed some packages and konsole suddenly started working, so I
uninstalled them again and installed them one by one...

After installing "xorg-x11-devel", konsole suddenly started to work.

Stracing konsole showed me that it opens /usr/lib/libXcursor.so which is part
of that package.
After renaming that file, konsole started to crash again.

So there might be a problem with the linker/runtime linker or some packaging
issues...

Btw. this also happened unter openSUSE 10.3 using KDE4 UNSTABLE...

----- snip -----


btw... the strace ends after trying to read the konsolerc configuration file. Doesn't matter if that exists.
Comment 16 andreas bittner 2008-04-01 15:52:40 UTC
just installed a clean opensuse 11.0 alpha3 from i386 dvd image. "konsole" crashes each and every time on this fresh system using kd4 with a normal users desktop/account.

regards.
