Description Erik 2014-01-14 16:06:21 UTC

Application: kdevelop (4.5.1)
KDE Platform Version: 4.11.3
Qt Version: 4.8.4
Operating System: Linux 3.11.0-15-generic x86_64
Distribution: Ubuntu 13.10

-- Information about the crash:
I am trying to debug an application with a single C file as the source.    Project may be found here:  https://sourceforge.net/projects/nmon/

Environment is Xubuntu 13.10, recently updated. 

Debugger is /usr/bin/gdb
Debugging shell is:  /usr/bin/konsole (but nothing else works such as /bin/bash, etc.)

Action:  Click "Debug" icon in action bar at top. 
Result: A Konsole appears, which is blank.  A dialog appears saying "GDB cannot use the tty* or pty* devices..." 

Action:  Click OK

Result:  Crash handler dialog appears.

The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
Application: KDevelop (kdevelop), signal: Segmentation fault

Comment 1 Erik 2014-01-14 16:09:22 UTC

I did some research before posting this bug.  Similar unresolved issues have been appearing since 2009:

http://www.qtcentre.org/archive/index.php/t-8444.html

If this is not really a bug but a usage problem, maye the debug setup page needs better examples, or automatic fix buttons?

Comment 2 Kevin Funk 2014-01-14 16:14:23 UTC

In any case, KDevelop shouldn't crash. We'll have a look at it.

Comment 3 Erik 2014-01-14 16:19:58 UTC

Hey Kevin,

Thank you for not making me state the obvious. :)

Let me know,


Erik

Comment 4 Kevin Funk 2014-01-15 07:35:46 UTC

Apparently Vlas added support for that in KDevelop 4.6.
 
Author: Vlas Puhov <vlas.puhov@mail.ru>

    Make it possible to debug from external terminals.
    
    Currently supported: konsole, xterm, gnome-terminal and xfce4-terminal.
    
    BUG: 204638


But somehow, that even doesn't work for me. If I set the debugging shell to /usr/bin/konsole, KDevelop just switches to the Debug area, and then immediately switches back to the code view.

Vlas, can you check if that's working as intended?

 Actually it shouldn't. I have no idea what purpose of "Debugging shell" option...
  To debug from external terminals (e.g. konsole ) use "External terminal" option.
 >If I set the debugging shell to /usr/bin/konsole, KDevelop just switches to the Debug area, and then immediately switches back to the code view.
   Yes, it does the same for me. 

  So, Erik, I guess you should use a more recent version of kdevelop e.g. 4.6 or git master http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDevelop4/HowToCompile 

  Also, Kevin, what do you think about removing "Debugging shell" option? I find this option very confusing, and it's purpose is not very clear for me.

Comment 6 Kevin Funk 2014-01-15 15:02:55 UTC

Uh oh. I confused the "External terminal" and "Debugger Shell" option.

So, yeah, given this, I don't know what the purpose of "Debugger Shell" is either. The tooltip hint says something about automake projects, but I'm clueless why overwriting the shell in use would help anything. Code is from Roberto from 2004, so dead-old, and has been dragged along through multiple refactorings. So I'm also wondering if it's *still* useful...

Maybe worth asking the kdevelop mailing list.

Comment 7 Erik 2014-01-15 16:58:23 UTC

I am trying to compile the latest Kdevelop, but am running into an 
undocumented requirement/issue.

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they 
are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the 
CMake files:
QT_QT_INCLUDE_DIR
    used as include directory in directory 
/home/erik/src/kdevplatform/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp

A little hint here?  I've installed libqt4-dev, -core, and -gui

What's missing?  The compile docs don't mention this variable setting 
being required.

Comment 8 Kevin Funk 2014-01-15 17:07:48 UTC

Eric, this is offtopic to this bug. Please post these kind of questions to the mailing list, or just join #kdevelop on Freenode.

Hint: You're probably running into something like: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2168435 (Qt4 vs. Qt5 collision issue)

Comment 9 Erik 2014-01-15 19:41:24 UTC

Just finished compiling.  I now get " Can't receive /usr/bin/konsole tty/pty.  Check that /usr/bin/konsole and that it accepts these arguments...."  and then crashes.

Comment 10 Erik 2014-01-15 19:42:19 UTC

This happens no matter what I put into the debug shell entry, be it konsole or /bin/bash

Comment 11 Vlas Puhov 2014-01-16 17:36:11 UTC

Git commit d6ebd12d2ab2554d4e16c1df88c20d647abe3260 by Vlas Puhov.
Committed on 16/01/2014 at 17:11.
Pushed by vpuhov into branch 'master'.

Turn "whats this" messages into tooltip messages.

Obviously no one reads "whats this" messages, so let's show it
as tooltips, they are not so long after all. Also clarify some messages.

>This happens no matter what I put into the debug shell entry, be it konsole or /bin/bash
    You shouldn't put anything into "debug shell" entry. (see the last commit).
>Just finished compiling.  I now get " Can't receive /usr/bin/konsole tty/pty.  Check that /usr/bin/konsole and that it accepts these arguments...."  and then crashes.
   Attach the backtrace then. I guess it should be different from the one that is already here.

Comment 13 Ekkehard Blanz 2014-02-11 01:41:38 UTC

Created attachment 85094 [details]
New crash information added by DrKonqi

kdevelop (4.5.1) on KDE Platform 4.11.5 using Qt 4.8.4

Tried to use an external terminal for a debug session.  Crashed in the attempt to do so.
