Description Jarkko Suontausta 2005-07-09 23:01:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Hi,

when I run an upgrade dbus or hal on my system, kded stops without a warning. No warnings etc. appear in .xsession-errors or syslog. I've tried to dig out some more info, but my attempts have been unsuccesful (how does one capture a trace of a running program until it stops with gdb?). I might have time to recompile kdelibs with debugging info some day though...

Thanks for your time,
Jarkko

Some additional info about my system:
D-Bus version    0.23.4
HAL version      0.4.8
QT-mt            3.3.4

Comment 2 Nikita V. Youshchenko 2006-02-15 08:03:41 UTC

I guess that to become more friendly to hot updates, kded (and probably other components) should detect disconnection from dbus, and not only try to re-connect, but do so e.g. every second for a long period of time. This will let it to survive stop-upgrade-start cycles.

Comment 3 Nikita V. Youshchenko 2006-02-15 08:08:58 UTC

I believe this issue is important, because it causes problems with installing updates (including security updates) on terminal servers running KDE sessions - in such environment, restarting all sessions is not easy and very user-unfriendly.

Comment 4 Thiago Macieira 2006-02-19 18:20:39 UTC

Define what you mean by "kded stops". Does it freeze? Or does it still respond to DCOP commands (dcop kded)?
