Description Jens 2003-05-23 10:02:27 UTC
Version:           1.2 post (using KDE 3.1.9)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-pre5-jb-w4l

I pasted the list of packages at http://opendoorsoftware.com/cgi/http.pl?p=kdecvs;frame=1 into konsole to 'apt-get' them all. Konsole froze. I waited at least 30 seconds, nothing happened. The window was movable but didn't react to anything, I couldn't even switch konsole "subwindows".

Now for the really strange thing: I opened another konsole and used 'strace' to find out what was happening. the frozen konsole didn't consume any (visible) CPU time (according to xosview). I started 'strace -p 3049' (which was the other konsole process id).

Suddenly, the frozen konsole woke up again and accepted my paste - that is, until my CTRL-C pleas were heard, because the paste were multiple lines and konsole started lots of already installed KDE programs. =;)

I tried this thrice, every time konsole woke up again exactly in the instant I started strace. Very strange. But perhaps you can make more of it than me.


Thank you for a great desktop,

Jens

Can confirm this. Happened to me as well the other day. Qt 3.1.2

Still there (CVS 2004-01-02), including the strace strangeness.
Please try to reproduce and ask if you have any questions.
Comment 3 Jens 2004-11-02 13:11:31 UTC
Cannot reproduce with 3.3.1, closing.
