I forgot to mention that I'm running korganizer under Gnome in Ubuntu Gutsy. I bet you have a binary attachment for one of your to-dos. I've been trying to track down this bug for a long time. I'll try again. I think the problem is really in the 3rd party ical library. Anyway, you might be able to "fix" the crash by removing the "bad" to-do, or by removing the binary attachment from the to-do. First of all, it has become apparent that the title of this bug report is incorrect - it should really be: "KOrganizer crashes on decoding attachment". I initially thought I has set a reminder for the first time and that the crash was related to that. It turns out that I did NOT set a reminder, so then I started playing around with the contents of the .ics file. First I removed all start / end information, still thinking the crash was somehow related to the scheduling of the event/todo. After I removed the start/end information, I tried to open the .ics file by double-clicking and again KOrganizer crashed, but this time the backtrace looked different. It was telling me that it crashed while reading an attachment. Next I removed the attachment data from the original copy of the .ics file and sure enough, the crash no longer occurred. The original .ics file can be retrieved from here since it is too large to attach: http://cactuscoder.com/korganizer.crash.ics.tar.gz Hopefully this will enable you to determine what attachment caused the crash and why... :-) *** Bug 158810 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 160212 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 159532 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 161244 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 166167 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 164046 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 166213 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 166205 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I am also able to reproduce this bug (using korganizer 3.5.9 on Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron"). I see crashes in korganizer and korgac. I am available to help diagnose and/or debug this issue, if such help is needed. Also, should this bug be reassigned to the iCal team? Ian, Good timing. On/About 13 October the kdepim in trunk will require the new libical v0.33 (or higher) from the freeassociation project on SourceForge. I am on that project team. I hope you can help test kdepim trunk after that date. We could not re-assign this bug to the libical project because we long ago forked our own local copy. We did that because maintenance/support/activity had stopped on libical. But now there is an active community there. My testing with the new libical seems to indicate that this bug is fixed. But we'll know better after 13 Oct. *** Bug 170184 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I still witness this issue after upgrading to korganizer 4.1.4. The fix is in the upcoming KDE 4.2.0. Although I believe a very recent openSuSE also has the fix in KDE 4.1.4. *** Bug 179166 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I'm closing this bug as it is fixed in KOrganizer 4.2.0 and above, but also please make sure that you are using libical-0.41 or above as well. *** Bug 187544 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
