Description Aaron Lewis 2010-06-12 06:02:59 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

Hi,
Actually i'm on KDE 4.4.4 , there's no such entries.

There's a problem since KDE 4.4.1 with dolphin 
I) When i'm copying or moving file between 2 relative directories , it will hangs , and after about 15 secs , i see knotifications , a progress bar , hangs at %0 , no title , nothing but a empty progress bar & stop button.

Details:
 This morning , i opened ~/Documents/a/b/c/d , choosed a file in folder 'd' , cut it ,  and i clicked on `Back' button , to the `c' folder , then i pressed CTRL+V to paste , and dolphin hangs , after a while , i see the empty progress bar.

File is pasted successfully , but the progress bar still hangs until i clicked the stop button.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
 This morning , i opened ~/Documents/a/b/c/d , choosed a file in folder 'd' , cut it ,  and i clicked on `Back' button , to the `c' folder , then i pressed CTRL+V to paste , and dolphin hangs , after a while , i see the empty progress bar.

I guess there's a problem with the relative path handling , maybe a loop inside . which makes dolphin hangs at calculation of file size.

Actual Results:  
progress bar hangs , file copied OK.

Expected Results:  
File copied , and progress bar finished automacitally

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.33-tuxonice-r2
Compiler: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc

KDE 4.4.4 , Dolphin 1.4

Sorry for the title , it should be relative paths , not relative directories
Comment 2 Aaron Lewis 2010-07-24 11:15:17 UTC
This has become a big problem with dolphin , for a long time.

Even if sometime you tried to Hold `Shift' Button and Drag a file into a folder , it will hang .. and when it happens , all plasma related , kicker , plasma-desktop , dies for a moment , often 15 seconds.

For the pathname , it has nothing to do with relative paths , it happens randomly.
Sometime small files , sometime movies like \*.rmvb , don't know why.
The only thing lucky is file will not be corrupted.

I've experienced this bug too some days ago moving a bunch of .jpg (less than 20Mb) between two partitions (KDE 4.4.5), but it looks to be very sporadic.
Comment 4 Aaron Lewis 2010-09-16 16:30:10 UTC
Still exists somewhere in KDE SC 4.5 , no much frequent now.

Could you try if disabling the Information Panel and the tooltips helps?
Comment 6 Aaron Lewis 2010-09-26 04:11:19 UTC
Hmm .. tools tips was never enabled , ok , see what's going on if information is disabled too.

Any tips for debugging ?

> Any tips for debugging ?

I would check first if disabling the Information Panel helps or if upgrading to D-Bus 1.4.0 fixes the issue (if that's easy for you). That's because I'm wondering if this could be related to a D-Bus issue that leads to freezes and crashes of Dolphin and other apps and which is fixed in D-Bus 1.3.1 and later.

If that doesn't help, you could attach gdb to the frozen process and check where the freeze occurs.

No problem , i'm now waiting for dbus-1.4.0 to be stable.
Still missing libdbus*.la files on successfully builds , seems sys-apps/dbus-1.2.24-r2 is not *new* enough here.

Ah , all right,  since it's not happening for more than 3 weeks , just shut it down for a while , i'll reopen it only if i experience that bug again ;-)

BTW: Using dbus-1.40 now , with information panel enabled.
