(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kwrited Version: 2.0.0 (KDE 1.94 >= 20000911) Severity: grave I start kde 2.0 final beta via "startx" and everything works great. I start kde from xdm or kdm and it generally sucks. I'm inittially greeted with kwrited crashing and then my konsole crashes as soon as I load it. This only happens when I start with kdm or xdm not with "startx." I hope this helps. Sorry I could not generate a backtrace. That hangs too under kdm / xdm login sessions. -Peter
I experienced a similar problem on my FreeBSD 4.1.1 system with XFree86 4.0.1. kwrited crashes upon startup with a SIGABRT; the same thing happens if konsole or konqueror are started from the klicker. The crashes occur when the programs are run without being attached to a terminal for instance from an .xsession file. When kwrited konsole or konqueror are started from an xterm they run without problems. The crashes trace to TEPty::makePty. Specifically the abort() is triggered on lines 438 and 439 of TEPty.C: if (! (str_ptr=ttyname(0)) ) { abort(); The crashes went away when I made the following substitution: if (! (str_ptr=ttyname(fd)) ) { abort(); I have no idea what this breaks but it solves my problem. The utmp stuff doesn't work at all under FreeBSD so perhaps it would be better to just comment out this part in FreeBSD for now if this substitution produces incorrect behaviour.
