Dolphin freezes on startup when Kile is running
Last modified: 2016-01-14 22:13:00 UTC
When Dolphin is set to display hidden files and Kile is running before Dolphin is started, Dolphin hangs indefinitely with an unresponsive GUI immediately after displaying the initial window, while trying to determine the MIME type of ~/.lyxpipe.in which is a symlink to a named pipe created by Kile. The problem is described and analyzed in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352828 Its root cause is a Qt bug described in https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48529 According to the Qt bug database it is fixed in Qt release 5.6. openSUSE Leap 42.1 with all available updates reports Qt5 version 5.5.1-4.1. So it appears that the fix for QTBUG-48529 has not been backported to that version.
Same underlying issue as Bug#957006... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 957006 ***
