Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: g++ (SUSE Linux) 4.3.1 20080507 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 135036] OS: Linux Itried to download QuickAccess (a plasmoid) via GetHowNewStuff and I got a crash in plasmapkg stating that the install wasn't successfull.... seems pretty weird to me to initiate a crash report if install fails ^^ it also states it has been installed (but it doesn't show up in the Add Widgets Dialog. The crash report is so short I'll attach it directly here: Application: Plasma Package Manager (plasmapkg), signal SIGABRT [?1034h[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0xb48d6910 (LWP 21893)] [KCrash handler] #6 0xffffe430 in __kernel_vsyscall () #7 0xb5a27900 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6 #8 0xb5a29238 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6 #9 0xb69a9883 in qt_message_output (msgType=QtFatalMsg, buf=0x8122f80 "plasmapkg(21893)/plasma: Installation of \"/tmp/friedreb-kde4/kde-friedreb///84128-quickaccess-0.4.tar.gz\" failed!

this line seems to be responsible for this... as far as I can see all errors are reported by kfatal<<"message" which seems to open the crash dialog... imho there should just be some kind of an error messagebox. the specific line (to give an example): kFatal() << "Installation of " << package << " failed!"; my proposal in Qt syntax ...no idea about KDE programming yet :-( QMessageBox::critical(this, tr("Failure installing package"), tr("There has been an error during the install of package: ") + package);
I can confirm a crash when trying to download a plasmoid. I tried three times to download the weather plasmoid via GHNT. The first time I clicked install I was asked for a cookie-confirmation befor plasma crashed. The other trials failed imediately after clicking install.

hm.. your's seems to be a much bigger deal.. mine's more like a minor thing (changing some one liners of which I don't even know if they are intentionally written like this.. but seems unlikely to me)
backtrace from comment #2 is a duplicate of bug #164411 and was fixed with r823774 aka 4.0.84

There's actually 2 problems I see: 1) plasmapkg uses KZip to open files downloaded using GHNS whereas the files themselves are gzipped tar files. 2) plasmapkg quitting with a fatal error brings up drkonqi instead of an error message.
Created attachment 26142 [details] patch to use mimetype detection instead of hardcoded KZip My first try at patching this by detecting the mimetype and opening the package as tar (possibly compressed) or zip depending on that. Unfortunately that still doesn't make it work as the packages in the stream still miss metadata files :-)
the reason it assume zip files is because the package format is defined as being a zip file. the reasons for this decision is that it is more consistent with other similar widget package formats out there and opens the door for us to eventually provide support for compressed widgets (something tarballs really aren't very great for). the patch, btw, leaks the archive object in a few places. before every early return; statement a "delete archive;" would be needed. =) otherwise, the patch looks good ... i just don't think it fits with the design.
Well, I probably should have asked given the format of the files currently downloadable didn't have the metainfo either :-) (thanks for the leak hint. I guess I should be more considerate with 10-minute coffee-break fixes)
