Description kenorb 2012-09-19 14:42:18 UTC
When I'm using Chrome 18.0.1025.168 (Developer Build 134367 Linux) on Ubuntu 12.04, the KDialog takes around 25 seconds to show up!


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/entry
2. Click on: Attach the file
3. Click on: Choose File
4. Problem: Nothing happens.
5. After 25 seconds KDialog appears.
6. It takes another 20-30 seconds to fully load (still you can't click anything).
7. After the whole 1 minute you can choose the file.




Expected Results:  
In Firefox (which doesn't uses KDialog) it works within few seconds.


Qt: 4.8.1
KDE Development Platform: 4.8.4 (4.8.4)
KDialog: 1.0

When executed manually the following command:
strace kdialog --attach=71303405 --title=Open File --getopenfilename /home/kenorb/Sites/x/sites/all/modules/contrib/simpletest_clone

It seems to stop on poll for exactly 25 seconds!

write(3, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8)         = 8
poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=6, revents=POLLOUT}])
writev(6, [{"\225\24\31\0\32\0\300\5\1\0\0\0+\0\0\0\7\0\t\0\377\377\t\0\t\0\0\0\3648\0\0"..., 400}, {NULL, 0}, {"", 0}], 3) = 400
recvfrom(6, 0x7aef44, 4096, 0, 0, 0)    = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
write(3, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8)         = 8
sendmsg(7, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(2)=[{"l\1\0\1\21\0\0\0\20\0\0\0\177\0\0\0\1\1o\0\25\0\0\0/org/fre"..., 144}, {"\f\0\0\0org.kde.kded\0", 17}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 161
poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 1 ([{fd=7, revents=POLLIN}])
recvmsg(7, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"l\2\1\1\t\0\0\0\6\0\0\0=\0\0\0\6\1s\0\6\0\0\0:1.162\0\0"..., 2048}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC}, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = 89
recvmsg(7, 0x7fff4ef79770, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
sendmsg(7, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(2)=[{"l\1\0\1\0\0\0\0\21\0\0\0k\0\0\0\1\1o\0\5\0\0\0/kded\0\0\0"..., 128}, {"", 0}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 128
poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000

Is there any sleep(25) or something? Why?
It happens every time to me when I'm trying to upload anything on any site in Chrome browser, but it also happens in other software using KDialog as well.

Qt: 4.8.1
KDE Development Platform: 4.8.5 (4.8.5)
KDialog: 1.0
Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2012-09-19 14:49:59 UTC
Please temporarily rename ~/.kde/share/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml and try again. You might have some remote places in the places panel that get stuck waiting for a connection.
Comment 2 kenorb 2012-09-19 15:02:06 UTC
I've moved the file. The file was re-created within few seconds after 'Choose file' click to default, but still it took KDialog 25 seconds to appear.
bookmarks.xml file seems to be default as it was.
Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2012-09-19 15:08:37 UTC
Could you try running "solid-hardware list details" in a Konsole, and check if it blocks for the same long time? Is "dbus-daemon" running for your current user?
Comment 4 kenorb 2012-09-19 15:11:50 UTC
Simulating the same command like as it was executed by Chrome (it's doing the same):
$ time kdialog --attach=56623340 --title="Open File" --getopenfilename /home/kenorb/Downloads/
kdialog(8234)/kdecore (K*TimeZone*): KSystemTimeZones: ktimezoned initialize() D-Bus call failed:  "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."

real	1m42.668s
user	0m0.496s
sys	0m0.088s
Time when kdialog was run and first attempt to click Cancel.

dbus-daemon is run for current user:

$ ps wuax | grep dbus-daemon

Comment 5 kenorb 2012-09-19 15:27:10 UTC
strace gives me this:


8549  sendmsg(7, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(2)=[{"l\1\0\1\21\0\0\0\20\0\0\0\177\0\0\0\1\1o\0\25\0\0\0/org/fre"..., 144}, {"\f\0\0\0org.kde.kded\0", 17}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 161 <0.000015>
8549  poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 1 ([{fd=7, revents=POLLIN}]) <0.000061>
8549  recvmsg(7, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"l\2\1\1\t\0\0\0\6\0\0\0=\0\0\0\6\1s\0\6\0\0\0:1.169\0\0"..., 2048}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC}, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = 89 <0.000009>
8549  recvmsg(7, 0x7fff71c561e0, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) <0.000010>
8549  sendmsg(7, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(2)=[{"l\1\0\1\0\0\0\0\21\0\0\0k\0\0\0\1\1o\0\5\0\0\0/kded\0\0\0"..., 128}, {"", 0}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 128 <0.000010>
8549  poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 0 (Timeout) <25.020763>

Last <number> show the time spent in system calls.
poll() = 25 seconds
I've 4 of these in one run:
8549  poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 0 (Timeout) <25.020763>
8549  poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 0 (Timeout) <25.008094>
8549  poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 0 (Timeout) <25.025128>
8549  poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 0 (Timeout) <25.025123>
25 second each = 1 minute.
All are similar.
Comment 6 kenorb 2012-09-19 15:29:39 UTC
Problem with KDialog I had before the upgrade of kde-plasma.
But after the upgrade, I've similar problem with kde-plasma panel. It takes half a minute to react on clicks, but it didn't happen before the upgrade.
So it could be something in common.

Comment 7 kenorb 2012-09-19 15:34:54 UTC
So the problem is related to DBus.
How do I diagnose while the dbus is run?

8758  recvmsg(7, 0x7fff53179c10, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) <0.000005>
8758  sendmsg(7, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(2)=[{"l\1\0\1\0\0\0\0\21\0\0\0k\0\0\0\1\1o\0\5\0\0\0/kded\0\0\0\6\1s\0\f\0\0\0org.kde.kded\0\0\0\0\2\1s\0#\0\0\0org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable\0\0\0\0\0\3\1s\0\n\0\0\0Introspect\0\0\0\0\0\0", 128}, {"", 0}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 128 <0.000010>
8758  poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 0 (Timeout) <25.013023>
Comment 8 Christoph Feck 2012-09-19 15:50:52 UTC
I can only guess from seeing the parts you posted, that there is a kded module blocking the D-Bus system. Please try disabling kded modules as described at http://kdepepo.wordpress.com/2011/05/11/troubleshooting-kded4-bugs/

Probable candidates are network manager related modules, or anything that is related to package updates.
Comment 9 kenorb 2012-09-19 15:56:03 UTC
I've tried to restart dbus, but it didn't help.
While I wanted to kill it, it frozen my machine, so I had to reboot.

I don't know much about dbus, but I can see after clean reboot, something it's using debug resources much:
$ netstat -na | grep dbus | grep CONNECTED | wc -l
124

$ sudo netstat -nap | grep dbus | grep CONNECTED | awk '{print $8}' | sort | uniq -c
      2 1932/dbus-launch
     95 1933/dbus-daemon
      4 2490/gvfsd-trash
      2 2492/gvfsd-burn
     44 865/dbus-daemon

It's normal?
Comment 10 kenorb 2012-09-19 16:01:02 UTC
Thanks for your help, I'll try to find some workaround for it.

Comment 12 kenorb 2012-09-20 11:55:54 UTC
The other interesting thing I found, that actually KDialog sending the empty message!

As you can see before: msg_name(0)=NULL

[pid 15820] sendmsg(7, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(2)=[{"l\1\0\1\0\0\0\0\21\0\0\0k\0\0\0\1\1o\0\5\0\0\0/kded\0\0\0\6\1s\0\f\0\0\0org.kde.kded\0\0\0\0\2\1s\0#\0\0\0org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable\0\0\0\0\0\3\1s\0\n\0\0\0Introspect\0\0\0\0\0\0", 128}, {"", 0}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 128

When I'm monitoring my dbus socket, it showed as:
$ dbus-monitor --address unix:path=/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket --monitor

signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=(null destination) serial=31 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameOwnerChanged
   string ":1.71"
   string ""
   string ":1.71"
signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=(null destination) serial=32 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameOwnerChanged
   string ":1.71"
   string ":1.71"
   string ""

Destination is NULL.

This is other example how it suppose to look:
signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=:1.66 serial=2 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameAcquired
   string ":1.66"

Maybe that's the reason of timeout?
Comment 13 Christoph Feck 2012-09-20 20:04:11 UTC
Still looks like an issue with a kded module (see comment #8). Without trying which one you need to disable, it is nearly impossible to debug.
Comment 14 Christoph Feck 2012-09-20 20:06:06 UTC
Note that KDialog itself does not use D-Bus itself; the problem is very likely in the solid libraries or runtime system. Which makes me wondering: Are you actually running a full KDE session, or do you use KDE software inside a different desktop?
Comment 15 kenorb 2012-09-21 07:47:06 UTC
I'm using full KDE plasma desktop.
Comment 16 kenorb 2012-09-21 07:49:00 UTC
Before I was using Unity, but it was even worse, it was freezing all the time, crashing, lots of missing options, just a nightmare. So KDE plasma is kind of relief for me, but it's still not perfect.
Comment 17 kenorb 2012-09-21 09:50:27 UTC
Current follow-up:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-baseapps/+bug/1053910
Comment 18 Christoph Feck 2012-09-21 10:22:41 UTC
So did you try disabling some kded modules? I know it is a tedious task, but I don't see any option right now. Filing more bug reports in different directions won't help if you do not follow the advices you get from there.
Comment 19 kenorb 2012-09-24 09:13:18 UTC
Thanks, I'm trying it now.
Because the panel doesn't work, I've to go to Settings from the command line:
$ systemsettings

As advised:
"Disable kded4 modules in System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Service Manager."
I'm going to Startup and Shutdown, everything is fine till that moment.
When clicking on 'Service Manager', the window is freezing for around 1 minute and then I've the error:
"Unable to contact KDED."
Then all the Startup Services are gray/disabled and 'Not running'. So I can't change anything.

So I'm disabling all the services manually by renaming all files to something else:
$ cd /usr/share/kde4/services/kded
$ sudo rename 's/.desktop/.desktop.disabled/' *.desktop
$ kbuildsycoca4
Comment 20 kenorb 2012-09-24 09:23:24 UTC
And finally:
$ killall -HUP kdeinit4
then my whole session was killed, killing all my processes, but after testing with disabled all kde modules it works, kdialog appears in less than 1 second (including loading) for 'Choose File' web widgets and KDE desktop-plasma panel is clickable again.
I'll do some more tests and I'll find the broken module. Thanks again.
Comment 21 kenorb 2012-09-24 09:26:22 UTC
E.g.:
Enabling all modules starting with letter 'k':
$ sudo rename 's/.disabled//' k*.desktop.disabled
$ killall -HUP kdeinit4
Comment 22 kenorb 2012-09-24 11:57:40 UTC
It looks line muon-notifier is the one which breaks kdialog functionality and plasma-desktop panel.
File: muon-notifier.desktop
Whatever it's.

Renaming /usr/share/kde4/services/kded/muon-notifier.desktop
and restarting kdeinit4 solve the problem.

$ dpkg -l | grep muon-notifier
ii  muon-notifier                          1.3.1-0ubuntu2                                                          update notifier for KDE
Comment 23 kenorb 2012-09-24 12:11:31 UTC
I'm confused also what's the policy and where I should report the bug of kde muon-notifier.
Here at bugs.kde.org directly, or at bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/muon.
Also by creating a new bug, or following the current one.
As I understand, the policy on launchpad.net is that I should create always the new bugs.
Comment 24 kenorb 2012-09-24 12:17:07 UTC
Enabling muon-notifier.desktop service creating following process:
kenorb   11328  0.0  0.3 131788 12392 ?        S    13:55   0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/share/kde4/apps/muon-notifier/releasechecker

When killing the process manually, it seems that everything is back to normal.

When running it manually again using the same command line, I've this error:

 /usr/bin/python /usr/share/kde4/apps/muon-notifier/releasechecker

Probably, because I'm behind the proxy.

Comment 29 Jonathan Thomas 2012-09-26 11:25:52 UTC
Could you try replacing "except Exception, e:" with "except BaseException, e:"? Apparently python's Exception class is only for non language-defined exceptions. :/ (Unlike Java exceptions... Another reason to hate python)
Comment 30 kenorb 2012-09-26 12:08:31 UTC
I've tried, but it doesn't change anything.
Maybe because it's a separate thread?

Problem is happening in File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/UpdateManager/Core/MetaRelease.py", line 262
So the exception was caught by  /usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py

So basically script is ignoring 'Unhandled exception' and script is continuing to check the release every second.

Something similar which I found:

Git commit 6d9581b2984c89e0ed91a27a205b345e67198c01 by Jonathan Thomas.
Committed on 26/09/2012 at 18:01.
Pushed by jmthomas into branch '1.4'.

Exceptions that MetaReleaseCore throw during a download happen in a separate thread, so we can't catch them.

The root cause of the IOError seems to be the existence of a proxy, and it appears that UpdateManager has a proxy init function. (Poor design on UpdateManager's part...)
This should fix the root cause of this bug, but I fear for other exceptions that could be thrown that MetaReleaseCore won't catch for us...
I'll commit a separate fix to make our KProcess call to releasechecker non-blocking.

(Sorry about the duplication of the mail, I pushed the commit to three branches and the commit hook picked up on all three)

Anyways, this should fix the "IOError due to proxy" issue. To really "fix" this I'll make the invocation of releasechecker asynchronous, so that shoddy programming on UpdateManager's part doesn't block kded until UpdateManager times out.

Asynchronize the process to check for a new release.
If UpdateManager hangs due to a bug/poor design on their part, we can be stuck for up to 25 seconds, hanging all of KDED along with us.
