Dolphin crashes when previewing Samba shares
Last modified: 2009-02-20 15:41:39 UTC
When trying to preview the files of Samba share, Dolphin hangs. Filetype does not matter. The preview in the Information panel works OK.
Do you mean with the Preview toolbar button? It works for me. Can you strace dolphin while it hangs?
No, I menand the preview function, so that the thumbnails of files are a representation of the actual content (images, text documents, pdfs, postscripts, etc.). Once this is enabled, Dolphin freezes. Anyway, this issue is already being tracked upstream: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156759
OK, finally, there is fix ready upstream! So there is light at the end of that long tunnel named KDE 4.x :) Since this issue heavily affects productive usage of the KDE 4.1 desktop in every day networked life, I'd be very very very happy to see this patch incorporated in the factory distribution so that I will have it with 11.0 already, until 11.1 hits the market. Thank you very much in advance for the effort
Reopening since this bug is still not fixed in Beta4plus with KDE 4.1.3. I start doubting wether the upstream KDE team is interested enough and capable of fixing this long-term bug. This bug seriously affects networking experience.
Still not fixed in RC1. Am I the only person working with Samba shares?
Maybe there is a misunderstanding here: the problem is not the preview but *any* change of the view type settings in Dolphin! Changing from tree view to icons to details or enabling/disabling preview always hangs Dolphin when this is done on a mounted samba share. This is 100% reproducible. If in doubt, please check here: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156759
Still not completely fixed in 4.2 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1/ As it seems, it works OK in *smaller* shares with a relatively flat hierarchy but it still crashes Dolphin in larger folders: mader@santenay:/home/02_optstaff> dolphin -v Qt: 4.4.3 KDE: 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0) "release 83.1" Dolphin: 1.2 mader@santenay:/home/02_optstaff> dolphin "/usr/bin/dolphin(25404)" Error in thread 140267513792336 : "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown - The name org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukstorage was not provided by any .service files" "/usr/bin/dolphin(25404)" Error in thread 140267513792336 : "QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name" dolphin(25404): Attempt to use QAction "close_tab" with KXMLGUIFactory! dolphin(25404): Attempt to use QAction "show_info_panel" with KXMLGUIFactory! dolphin(25404): Attempt to use QAction "show_folders_panel" with KXMLGUIFactory! dolphin(25404): Attempt to use QAction "show_terminal_panel" with KXMLGUIFactory! dolphin(25404): Attempt to use QAction "show_places_panel" with KXMLGUIFactory! mader@santenay:/home/02_optstaff> mader@santenay:/home/02_optstaff> WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile /home/02_optstaff/.directory.lock WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile /home/02_optstaff/.directory.lock WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile /home/02_optstaff/.directory.lock WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile /home/02_optstaff/.directory.lock WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile /home/02_optstaff/.directory.lock WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile /home/02_optstaff/.directory.lock WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile /home/02_optstaff/.directory.lock WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile /home/02_optstaff/.directory.lock WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile /home/02_optstaff/.directory.lock WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile /home/02_optstaff/.directory.lock WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile /home/02_optstaff/.directory.lock [...]
