Description Sami Liedes 2005-09-07 11:39:16 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          Several fairly recent GCC versions 
OS:                Linux

Every now and then (about once every few days or a week in average of KDE use without having restarted KDE), without a way to reproduce that I would have found, multi-key shortcuts, khtml cookies and kwallet all suddenly, at the same moment, cease to work. The only remedy I have found is restarting KDE.

This bug has existed at least since KDE 3.2, maybe even earlier at least with cookies (sorry, I can't remember).

The multi-key shortcuts that I have are all of the form LeftWin+letter+letter.

Output from startx and its children

Here's output from startx and its children that I logged. Hard to tell where
the interesting stuff starts, but at least line 1101 already contains relevant
messages. Might be that there's something useful hundreds of lines earlier.

I wrote a small script to add a timestamp to the messages, so next time this
occurs I can attach timing information that I believe should help a lot (ie.
what happened close to things ceasing to work).

If there's a specific program that I should monitor in some way, I'll be happy
to help, now I don't quite know where to start.

Comment 2 Thiago Macieira 2005-09-07 21:58:41 UTC

Somehow, kded became unreachable.

Comment 3 David Sibai 2005-09-08 06:31:29 UTC

I noticed the same thing, on a similar system (debian testing/unstable). My KDE was the regular debian one (binary). Could it be debian specific?

Comment 5 ndeb 2005-09-10 04:45:56 UTC

To comment 3 , this is not Debian-specific since I see the same problem in Mandriva and Suse.

Timestamped log

Here's a log similar to the one I originally attached, but with timestamps to
show the relative times of events (so one can see what happened at about the
same time the bug appeared and what didn't).

Comment 7 Bram Schoenmakers 2006-02-05 19:42:25 UTC

I have the same problem, kded silently stops (crashes?). At the time of writing, I did not find out what action triggered this. My guess is that KNemo is causing this when I unplug my network cable. But before I'm going to investigate this: Sami, David, do you have KNemo installed and running?

Comment 8 Sami Liedes 2006-02-06 10:44:12 UTC

No, I don't have KNemo installed.

Comment 11 Sami Liedes 2006-11-15 01:01:27 UTC

Hard to tell if #129872 is a duplicate of this or not, the common thing possibly only being that kded crashed. Anyway I haven't encountered this bug at all with recent versions of KDE (from Debian testing/unstable), whereas when I reported this it happened fairly frequently. Perhaps it has been fixed while fixing or implementing something other?

Comment 12 Sami Liedes 2007-03-03 19:55:28 UTC

Well, closing the bug since I haven't encountered this in a very long time and nobody commented after I said so 3.5 months ago. Reopen it if you encounter this.
