Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: GCC-4.2.3 OS: Linux When changing the language to French in Systemsettings, the whole KDE freezes. There is no error message.
It's still happening, no changes...
Updated from scratch today, it's still happening.
Reported almost a year ago, still happening, and not even an answer... This kind of thing doesn't help KDE 4 to be taken seriously. For the info, it's not caused by the environnement. I changed my computer, switched from Debian to Gentoo, and conpiled KDE 4 from scratch. It didn't change anything.
@Rosetzky: if you can still reproduce this bug in a recent KDE version _(4.1.3 / 4.2beta2 / 4.2rc1 / 4.2svn) , can you do the following ? - Start Konsole - Run "gdb systemsettings" - Type "set logging on" and press Return (this will create a gdb.txt file in the current path, ensure that you don't have a file with the same name) - Type "run" and press Return SystemSettings will start - Reproduce the bug When SystemSettings freezes: - Go to the Konsole/GDB window, - Press Ctrl+C (this will try to stop SystemSettings) - Now type "bt full" and press Return until there's no more backtrace info. Finally, post the content of the "gdb.txt" file in this report. Thanks and sorry for the delay, some applications doesn't have assigned mails (SS is one of these), and it takes time to found this type of reports.
Ok, hmm there is a problem with this method. It's not only systemSettings which is crashing, but the whole KDE, so I can't reach Konsole after it happens... :(
You can try running gdb from a virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1), you have to export the DISPLAY variable ("export DISPLAY=:0") to ensure that SystemSettings run in your current KDE session. Or can't you even switch terminals when the hang occurs? Thanks
Yes, I can switch terminals, I'll try that ASAP.
You are not using KDE4 anymore. No one else reported this error. I'm sorry you could not try what I told you to recognize the freeze. Then, Closing. Regards
