Btw, kate doesn't have to be default editor. When in dolphin, just open any text file with kate and dolphin will freeze. Please provide exact steps how to reproduce this problem with a new user account. If I remember correctly, all I did was install kde4-kate. Then open dolphin and right-click on any text file: choose "Open with ... Kate". Then dolphin freezes in my system. Don't know if everybody has this problem but I do. Couldn't there be a confusion with the programs "kate" and "kde4-kate" (I don't have KDE3 kate installed). Needed information (hopefully) provided. *** Bug 403944 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Cannot reproduce. This problem gets occassionally reported, but AFAIK nobody has yet found a way to reliably reproduce it. I can guarantee that it happens to me every single time. I have a pretty recent install from the live CD. All you would need to do to reproduce the bug imho is: 1) install from most recent live CD, openSUSE 11.0, KDE 4 2) sudo zypper dup 3) zypper in kde4-kate and 4) open dolphin to find it crashes every single time I open a text file with Kate. Btw, I can confirm 403944 on my machine as well. Just a wild guess, but I noticed that 403944 is also using a 64bit processor. *** Bug 191388 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I have had this problem in the past (4.1RC versions of KDE) and changing the command to launch kate from "kate %U" to "kate %u" (in file properties) solved it for me. However I just changed it back to "%U" in 4.1 final (from the factory tree) and it seems to work now (only lightly tested). Yes! I changed (in file properties) "kate %U" to "kate %u" and the problem disappeared. Maybe somebody understands the problem now? I got even bolder now and switched "kate %u" to "kate --use %u" (the --use option should be standard btw) and the problem is back! Dolphin says KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/kate'. after opening the second file to a session (not when opening the first file). Really funny because I cannot reproduce it myself anymore even after switching back to "kate %U", so the bug is very fickle. If you want to see another instance of it, try changing the file properties to kate --use %u and open two text files with kate into one session (with dolphin). *** Bug 361609 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 420150 *** |
