Description Jordan McGilvray 2006-11-17 19:09:39 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

Today when I loaded Quanta+ 3.5 it would not get passed the spalsh screen.  When that happened I tried loading it into a terminal, and I got this:

Invalid entry (empty key) at /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc/php.docrc:186

Invalid entry (empty key) at /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc/php.docrc:224

The programs GUI starts up, and if the splash screen was not there it would work.  

I am running Fedora Core 6.  I believe I have Quanta+ 3.5

Check if you quantarc file did not grow too much (several 100KB). If it 
did, rename it and start again Quanta and see if helps.
Comment 2 Jordan McGilvray 2006-11-17 23:00:43 UTC 
I erased ~/.kde/share/apps/quanta 
I also erased /usr/share/apps/quanta
Then I removed the kdewebdev package
Then I reinstalled the kdewebdev package.
Is quantarc in either of those locations?
Comment 3 Philip Rodrigues 2006-11-18 00:45:02 UTC 
~/.kde/share/config/quantarc I assume
Comment 4 András Manţia 2007-01-09 20:28:18 UTC 
I'm sure removing quantarc worked. If not, reopen the report.
Comment 5 Volker Blum 2007-01-28 14:08:05 UTC 
This should not be marked as "resolved" - unless it is really resolved in the latest version.

I used quanta only very little, then left it open when I rebooted the machine (i.e. quanta was not propely closed by accident). 

After the reboot, quanta would freeze upon startup, with the splash screen still there. No action possible, except to kill quanta externally.

I could resolve this after removing quantarc, as suggested above. However, this is so easily triggered that many people will be hit, and only a fraction will check existing bug reports to find the workaround.

Version: KDE 3.5.5 on SUSE 10.2 64 bit
Comment 6 András Manţia 2007-01-29 17:54:16 UTC 
Well, I have no problems reopening it, but if "this is so easily 
triggered" I'd like to know HOW to do it, as for me this does not 
happen. Or is that a reboot with Quanta open enough?
BTW, of course you should try 3.5.6 as it has fixes that affect the 
quantarc (and thus the startup).

Hi,
I've installed Fedora 24 yesterday, and I've got this problem.
I Would like to open a new bug because this thread is very old, but where can I choose product 'quanta' ?
