Unfortunately, you're missing the debug symbols for the important part of the backtrace: libkio.

Can you install debug symbols or recompile with -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull ?

Which "update manager" are you talking about btw?

Also, a few kded4 crashes have been fixed already, if you can compile from sources,
please compile svn trunk.
Comment 2 vrvilla 2008-07-02 20:17:35 UTC
Dear David:

All things  considered...

I am a 'relative' newbie to Linux. Not new to computers.

I gave you what information I could. Since I am using Ubuntu/Kubuntu, 
some of what you ask is a bit past what I can do...( considering the 
program names you gave me are neither listed nor installable at this time).

I am in a strange situation, in that I am running under Kubuntu, in a 
system that was loaded with Ubuntu.

The error response, was a courtesy, in hopes that if something might be 
obtainable (information wise), you have it. If not, my main complaint in 
trying to use Linux comes into play...

Documentation is the only thing keeping it from going anywhere.

Few, dealing with writing instructions for Linux, Ubuntu, Suse...etc, 
really know how to write instructions.

Your request to me entailed recompiling...

moot...

Don't know how...

I can install a rebuild of the kernel... (not at this time, as it isn't 
needed... but only because I know of the program that does it, where I 
have little to do to upgrade the kernel...at which point the system will 
die within 2 days...)

So I don't do that.

Send me a .tar file, and I will spam it back... (NO ONE - has written  
instructions that work/are understandable/and don't anticipate I have 20 
PhDs in linux. I have looked. )

Please don't send me one.

I will try to co-operate, but, unless you wish to have classical English 
words no longer in common use, please keep it simple.

(I know how to tweak Windows, have, at various times, programmed in 25 
languages including binaries, octals, machine (decimal) Assemblers, 
Fortran, and ... cripes, even Cobol (sux). It is not that I don't 
understand computers, but certain elements of Linux, as yet, make no 
sense to me, at this time. (mostly because, documentation is poorly 
written.)

I just replied to Mr. Faure, and having thoroughly read your email, I 
feel that park of my reply to him is exemplified in your email.

I have no idea what you are asking, suggesting, implying or hinting at.

Could you be a little less brief?

Comment 4 David Faure 2008-07-02 20:59:33 UTC
This isn't a discussion forum about linux documentation, there are plenty other places for that. This is a bug report about a kded4 crash, without any information for me to fix it because of missing debug symbols and because of no instructions for how to trigger this crash -- both of which are not your fault; distribution packages usually don't have debug symbols, and it happens with such background processes like kded, that something happens which isn't a direct result of a user action (some things are timer based etc.). Therefore I'm closing this report because I know that I *have* fixed a number of kded4 crashes already, so it's likely another instance of such a crash. If you still get a crash with KDE-4.1 once it's out, please report it.

I asked whether you could recompile because the original report didn't mention kubuntu packages at all, it simply said "Platform: unspecified", and version 4.0.5, so I thought that maybe it was self-compiled. Yes, now I'm the one complaining about lack of documentation :-)
Comment 5 vrvilla 2008-07-02 21:15:42 UTC
Dear David:

With more information, we all get to a point of understanding.

The documentation comment came from my own, really big problem with 
Linux.  (but, I guess you figured that out.)

I thank you for the information given in the last reply, as it does cast 
light on what was needed, and what is being done.

Much better than missive from another respondent that told me even less, 
but, again, that is another story.

In truth, I would like to help, when I can. Mostly, though, I would 
prefer simplicity and functionality, with no need to stir my crotchity 
old bones.

As I said, I initially only replied, if the given info was enough. It 
was all that I knew to send... heheheh... documentation being what it was...


Best to you, and may you have fewer "P.I.T.A's" than I can be.

Comment 6 George Kiagiadakis 2008-08-05 12:09:36 UTC
I was about to report this again but bugzilla's check for duplicates strangely worked this time :D

To the subject now, I can confirm that kded4 crashes when I upgrade packages using synaptic. It has crashed three times so far, one using kde 4.0.84, one using kde 4.0.98 and one today, using kde 4.1.0. Two out of the three times I was upgrading kde packages. The first time I was upgrading qt and other unrelated packages. What I noticed is that it is possibly related to the mime database as it seems to crash when debian runs some post-install scripts that output messages like this:
Unknown media type in type 'uri/mms'

The backtrace (using kde 4.1.0) is this:

Comment 7 Frederik Himpe 2008-08-15 22:07:06 UTC
I was experiencing a crash which is probably the same or similar as the one here. I was removing an RPM on my Mandriva Cooker system (kde 4.1.0, qt 4.4.1).

 This is the similar, but not identical backtrace. Would it be the same problem:

I think I also stumbled upon this crash. I was upgrading my gentoo in the background and when I came back to the computer, kded4 (KDE-4.1.0) had crashed with the backtrace below.

I experienced the kded4 crash during a dist-upgrade to kubuntu intrepid (8.10)

No backtrace because it wasn't provided, only a dialog saying that it crashed.

I'm still writing from that kde4 session (everything is like destroying but i was able to give a $kded4 from kate terminal)

Comment 23 George Kiagiadakis 2008-11-08 10:38:48 UTC
@buster_dog: This backtrace in comment 22 is completely unrelated to this bug.

@all: I think there is no reason anymore in pasting new backtraces in here. The bug is already ASSIGNED, which means that someone is working on it, and all the backtraces are almost the same. So, if you find this bug annoying, please vote for it instead of pasting the same backtrace again and saying "hey I've got this bug too...". Thanks.

Comment 28 Flavio Castelli 2008-11-13 13:08:38 UTC
Is there a way to reproduce this bug? I've tried different time to get a crash without success.

I have some ideas for fixing it, but the possibility to reproduce the bug would help me a lot.
Comment 29 Rodney Baker 2008-11-13 21:48:00 UTC
I don't personally know of a way to reproduce it reliably, save to say that it occurs regularly but seemingly randomly (although I'm sure it's not random) when updating packages through opensuseupdater-kde. A previous post mentioned that it was possibly when updating kde packages. This could be right as I have been installing updates pretty regularly on this machine...

If I get a chance I'll see if I can narrow it down to a specific package (that will mean updating packages one-by-one, which may not be practical due to dependencies, but I'll see what I can find out).
Comment 30 Flavio Castelli 2008-11-13 22:16:19 UTC
@Rodney
I'm using opensuse too and I have never experimented this crash but in fact I'm  running yast daily (so I don't update packages using updater).

btw: I'm using kde4-opensuse-updater-0.7.17-6.2

Flavio,
I'm running 4.1.3 on 10.3 and using opensuse-updater-kde-0.6-32 - is this still the kde 3.5 package? I did a zypper se kde4-opensuse-updater and came back with "No resolvables found". Which repository is this one in? I'll try updating and see if the problem still persists.
Comment 32 Flavio Castelli 2008-11-13 22:59:33 UTC
Rodney,
I'm using 11.0, with kde4 from KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop repo
Comment 33 Rodney Baker 2008-11-13 23:11:20 UTC
(In reply to comment #32)
> Rodney,
> I'm using 11.0, with kde4 from KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop repo
> 

OK. Unfortunately there's no kde4-opensuse-updater package in the 10.3 KDE4 repos (I have both openSUSE_10.3 KDE4 and the KDE4 Factory Desktop repositories enabled). I'm guessing that it must depend on the 11.0 version of zypper (which has not been backported to 10.3).

Comment 42 Dale Simmons 2008-12-03 04:01:41 UTC
I installed Kubuntu Linux today which is my first experience with Linux.  I have some experience with DOS, WinXP Pro,  I can do most things, even edit the windows registry.  However, I had a fatal error come up after I installed Kubuntu from a recent download and creation of the Live CD.  It happened when I clicked on one of the icons next to the clock in the bottom right corner, they it said update, of which it proceeded to do until I got the error of the KDE 4.1.2 GUI update was a failure due to this file I saved and am copying and pasting below.  

Basically, I do not know what to do about it or how to correct the problem.  I would most welcome a step by step set of instructions in how to repair this problem.  

Also, since this is my first time using Linux and it is installed on the 2nd hard drive in my computer, I would like to know if Linux is supposed to take so long to load web pages, which are instantly loaded when I am using Windows XP Professional on the other hard drive.  I have a Road Runner Time Warner Cable Modem and it is blazingly fast with 10mbs download and around 800kbs upload.  

Note:  I have no programing experience yet, but I can edit files using text editors such as Windows config.sys and autoexec.bat.  Hope this is enough information to get you to be able to assist me, which I would have the most gratitude for your assistance.  I am presently a student for the Computer Information Technology Computer Networking Systems Degree Program at ITT Technical Institute.  I am just beginning to start getting into Linux.  I was expecting Linux to be blazingly fast, should it be???  I have a custom built by myself computer in which I have an AMD  2.1Gig XP3000/400mhz FSB Processor, and 2 Gigabytes of system RAM (PC3200/400mhz).  I chose to install Linux on its own hard drive, a Western Digital 4 Gigabyte HD, that I had for a spare and checks out with no errors.  There was absolutely nothing on it, and in fact I wrote all zero's to the hard drive to make sure it was totally wiped clean, then used Fdisk to create a Primary DOS Partition first, then installed Kubuntu Linux with the included KDE (GUI).  

If you could simplify my process of what I need to do, I will have the utmost gratitude, thanks.  Below is the copy and paste of what came up and I saved to a file for the error.

Comment 43 Dale Simmons 2008-12-03 04:08:49 UTC
I installed Kubuntu Linux today which is my first experience with Linux.  I have some experience with DOS, WinXP Pro,  I can do most things, even edit the windows registry.  However, I had a fatal error come up after I installed Kubuntu from a recent download and creation of the Live CD.  It happened when I clicked on one of the icons next to the clock in the bottom right corner, they it said update, of which it proceeded to do until I got the error of the KDE 4.1.2 GUI update was a failure due to this file I saved and am copying and pasting below.  

Basically, I do not know what to do about it or how to correct the problem.  I would most welcome a step by step set of instructions in how to repair this problem.  

Also, since this is my first time using Linux and it is installed on the 2nd hard drive in my computer, I would like to know if Linux is supposed to take so long to load web pages, which are instantly loaded when I am using Windows XP Professional on the other hard drive.  I have a Road Runner Time Warner Cable Modem and it is blazingly fast with 10mbs download and around 800kbs upload.  

Note:  I have no programing experience yet, but I can edit files using text editors such as Windows config.sys and autoexec.bat.  Hope this is enough information to get you to be able to assist me, which I would have the most gratitude for your assistance.  I am presently a student for the Computer Information Technology Computer Networking Systems Degree Program at ITT Technical Institute.  I am just beginning to start getting into Linux.  I was expecting Linux to be blazingly fast, should it be???  I have a custom built by myself computer in which I have an AMD  2.1Gig XP3000/400mhz FSB Processor, and 2 Gigabytes of system RAM (PC3200/400mhz).

Comment 75 David Faure 2009-01-14 18:31:31 UTC
Like comment #8 in this report, bug 180652 has a rather precise backtrace:
#5  0x00007fe96dc73c78 in QString::operator== () from /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4
#6  0x00007fe96cde6d33 in KDirWatchPrivate::inotifyEventReceived (
    this=0x79cbb0) at /build/buildd/kde4libs-4.1.3/kio/kio/kdirwatch.cpp:288

Looking at the 4.1.3 sources:
svn cat $KDESVN/tags/KDE/4.1.3/kdelibs/kio/kio/kdirwatch.cpp

The code says:
      Q_FOREACH(sub_entry, e->m_entries)
              if (sub_entry->path == e->path + '/' + path) break;
and the crash is on the second line. So either sub_entry or e is already deleted, I would think...

If someone can reproduce that crash in valgrind, that would be the best way to find out more. Run "valgrind kded4 --nofork 2>&1 | tee vglog" and do the action that would normally make it crash; it won't crash, but the file vglog will talk about something like "invalid read".

I'm wondering if maybe we could make this safer by using more values and less pointers, but that seems difficult...
Comment 76 Flavio Castelli 2009-01-14 19:03:32 UTC
As I said in #28 I would really like to know how to reproduce this bug.
Valgrind's outputs are appreciated too.
Comment 77 auxsvr 2009-01-14 23:59:19 UTC
Created attachment 30249 [details]
kded4 running under valgrind during KDE update

I hope this helps.
Comment 78 David Faure 2009-01-15 02:02:13 UTC
Very interesting. I expected an invalid read, but you simply got:

==17078== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==17078==    at 0x41707A4: KDirWatchPrivate::inotifyEventReceived() (kdirwatch.cpp:324)

What's kdirwatch.cpp line 324 for you [or, which version of kdelibs are you using?]
Comment 79 auxsvr 2009-01-15 11:14:27 UTC
I was using KDE 4.1.87 before the update.

I found it!!! Well, at least the reason for the valgrind hit.
I was running kdirmodeltest in valgrind while working on another and I hit the same conditional jump valgrind error, and now I understand why this happens: the KDE_stat call on line 352 isn't checked for errors! So S_ISDIR(stat_buf.st_mode) is inspecting an uninitialized buffer, if tpath doesn't exist.
In fact tpath can never exist, this code path is called when kdirwatch is being told that a file or directory has been deleted, right? ;)

Flavio, do I miss something? What is this KDE_stat trying to stat? If something that could indeed exist, then the code should read more like:
  if (KDE_stat(tpath, &stat_buf) == 0) {
     bool isDir = S_ISDIR(stat_buf.st_mode);
     [... code that uses isDir ...]
  } // else, well, tpath doesn't exist.

But if tpath is the thing that was just removed, then it never exists and I don't really follow this code...
Thanks for a prompt reply, we're about to release 4.2 ;-)

Good job David!!

I've committed a fix with rev 914106. I don't think it will solve the issue, but it will solve valgrind's warning. 
Comment 83 David Faure 2009-01-20 15:32:47 UTC
SVN commit 914158 by dfaure:

Make KDirWatch code more robust: check all KDE_stat calls for errors, I guess it can happen due to a race condition
 (file is created, inotify tells us about it, but meanwhile the file is deleted again).
Interestingly, the code changed by Flavio in 914106 is only in trunk, not in 4.2 branch, so it can't have
been responsible for the valgrind warning _I_ saw, while this commit should fix the similar valgrind warning
(but in the "file created" code) that auxsvr saw.

Still unlikely that this really fixes the 165548 crash, but at least future valgrind logs will be more helpful.
(This commit is just before 4.2.0)

This sounds like the same same problem I had while doing a huge batch of updates to Kubuntu 8.10 and KDE4.1     I got the following information about the KDE daemon causing a signal 11 (SIGSEGV)

This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

I had filed a bug which was marked as a duplicate of this bug. I am pasting my full backtrace information here, in case it helps.

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
Compiler:          GCC 4.3.3 target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I had 1 konqueror window open, 1 konsole window open, 1 firefox window open and
the XFCE4 packages were being built in the konsole window using Gentoo's
package build system, Portage. Luckily, I have configured kde to build with
debug flags AND preserve debug information, so am able to paste the following
backtrace:

I'm also appending a portion of the emerge --info information. while much of
this is only of relevance to Gentoo, there are several pieces of information
that might be relevant to the bug fixers. Thanks for you guys' work on KDE,
it's awesome.

Today I got this crash with kate 4.2.2. I was saving a new file. As soon as I entered the filename in the save as dialog and clicked ok, kate crashed with exactly the same backtrace as in previous comments here. Fortunately, the file was actually saved, so it's not a critical bug.

I've received this crash ever since upgrading to Mandriva 2009.  I'm now on Mandriva 2009.1 with KDE 4.2.2 and am still getting crashes.  I've attached the crash report above.

Hi, I found why this crash occurs when Mandriva 2009 made automatically the upgrade, the system firs try to install first funtional libraries instead of common libraries, so I fixed programing that first check all the common libraries of the upgrade and then all the others, is a little bit slower the process, but Mandriva KDE 4.2. is not crashing anymore

SVN commit 1058169 by cfeck:

Fix broken reading in inotifyEventReceived

Multiple bugs:
* MAX_PATH is 4096 on linux, but inotify_event needs some bytes as well
* the "pending" variable was incorrectly abused to mean both pending
    bytes in buffer as well as pending bytes in stream
* the offset was not reset to zero when the next chunk was reading
* when an event was larger than what was available in buffer, it was reading
    beyond the buffer boundaries

Many thanks to David for review and help with improving clarity of the code.

David, please test for regressions, maybe add a test which changes
some 1000 files in one go.

SVN commit 1058399 by dfaure:

Unit test for creating 5000 files in order to the interesting code paths of KDirWatchPrivate::inotifyEventReceived()
Turns out we'll never hit MAX_PATH, the event contains the filename, not the full path.
I also never get into the "partial event" case because the events have a size of 16 or 32, and we read
by blocks of 8192.

Comment 143 Christoph Feck 2009-12-10 02:30:40 UTC
David, if we read size 16 or 32, but the block size is 8192, then the following scenario could happen: Read 511 entries with 16 bytes, the next entry is 32 bytes (or any other combination, where only 16 bytes are available, but next entry is 32 bytes).

So we can get partial entries, and I am sure it is the reason why it crashed in the first place.

We will see on 4.4.0 -> 4.4.1 update, when package managers start touching files again :)
Comment 144 Gerhard Kulzer 2010-01-03 08:12:55 UTC
I got the problem of kded crashing after update from Kubuntu karmic to lucid. I'm running a AMD64 system. Strangely enough, the crash occurs only with the Ubuntu kernel 2.6.32xx.
When I run my self-compiled stock kernel, there is no kded crash.

Comment 149 Matthew Woehlke 2010-01-25 23:56:02 UTC
Any "official" thoughts on if bug 224229 is a duplicate of this? Stack trace looks similar; if yes, this isn't fixed (as of today's svn, even).

(If yes, the 'upgrade' stuff is all a huge red herring; I'm seeing it just due to files being changed where a dirwatcher is running.)

kdevelop 3.9.97 backtrace with debug symbols

Attaching backtrace with debug symbols. 
KDE 4.3.5  kdevelop 3.9.97 on gentoo linux.

For me this bug is 100% repeatable.  Process to repeat.

1.  Open and edit file.cpp in kdevelop.
2.  svn revert  file.cpp
3.  Kdevelop then promps me that the file has changed.
4.  I click "reload file"  
5.  edit file.cpp   change a line or two.
6.  Hit Ctrl-S  (Save) 
7.  CRASH.

Comment #151 is a different bug, it's bug 220153, which was fixed today.

Comment #150 is the digikam issue, i.e. bug 222974.

The crash in this particular issue looks fixed by comment #141 to me. Well, the question is whether anyone gets the kded crash with kdelibs-4.4.0 or later.

Since I just fixed the findSubEntry crash (bug 222974), I'm closing this again.
Please reopen only if you get a kded4 crash in kdirwatch with KDE-4.4.1 when it's released.
My suspicion is that it got fixed by the fix for bug 220153, actually; the crash here looks also like one that would come from methods called from the slots connected to kdirwatch.

For apps showing a "file changed" dialog, like kate or kdevelop, see bug 220153 (fixed for 4.4.1), and for apps that crash shortly after saving (e.g. digikam), see bug 222974 (fixed for 4.4.1). Let's not mix up the various issues, otherwise it gets really confusing ;).
