Description David Hajek 2007-12-20 20:00:03 UTC

Version:           0.12.7 (using KDE 3.5.8, Arch Linux)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.23-ARCH

I don't have much description. I'm using jabber.cz mainly for ICQ transport. Yesterday I added a Jabber guy. We talked for a bit. Today it stopped working - clicking him in contacts freezes Kopete only solution being killing it. I'd like to be more descriptive but I'm new to bug tracking on linux so any advices are welcome. Thanx

By the way I also cannot remove contact groups - they reappear after restarting - and sometimes Kopete crashes while doing online->offline->online status change sequence.

Well, it freezes only when trying to open chat window for one specific contact. I tried deleting/readding him. Still experiencing freezing.

Hi David,

Thanks for the report. Would you be able to confirm repro with this in the 0.50 (kde4) series, please? Also if possible generating a backtrace would be great. You may need to do this with gdb by hand given it freezes, and it might not work.

To do it fire up kopete. And get everything in place to just before you'd make it freeze. Open up a konsole/terminal. Run gdb (assuming you have it installed). Attach to the pid of kopete. "ps ax | grep kopete" will show you what the pid is. Say it's 18410 then you'd run "attach 18410" in gdb. Then "continue" in gdb. Each of these commands is followed by enter btw. Then do what you do that makes it freeze in kopete. Then run "backtrace" in gdb and send the output.

Cheers,

Alan.

Hi Alan,

it's been a long time, almost a year. I switched to the tiling window managers like awesome since then. So I no longer can do a backtrace of Kopete, sorry.

Closing bug as we have no repro.

Cheers,

Alan.
