Description Bryan 2008-11-23 04:44:57 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
Compiler:          gcc (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu11) 4.3.2
 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I recently upgraded to Kubuntu 8.10 (with KDE4 of course), and everything has been very impressive.  However, one glaring problem I am having is every time I select a directory in a KDE4 file manager (Dolphin, Konqueror, even a file dialog box in Ark) and right click to select "Properties" of the directory, the program crashes with signal 6 (SIGABRT).  Additionally, this crash also happens using the Alt+Enter shortcut, or right clicking on empty space within the window, which by default attempts to retrieve the CWD's properties, leading me to believe it is the underlying action where the problem lies.  As expected, this crash only happens when using applications using the KDE4 libraries.  When I get properties from within Amarok's file manager, or Kaffeine's file dialog box, there is no crash.  On my system, those programs are using KDE 3.5.10 (for now).

I've done a fair amount of searching and no one else seems to be having this problem, so I'm not really sure what is going on.  I installed the kde libraries with debugging symbols so that I could post a more complete backtrace, as originally there were very many lines in the output indicating "No debugging symbols found".  I will add the output as an attachment as it is large.

KDE Crash Handler backtrace

An example of the crash as evoked by Dolphin.

Comment 2 Bryan 2008-11-23 04:50:07 UTC

I also meant to point out that retrieving properties of regular files works as expected.  The dialog box pops up without a hitch.  Only directories cause the crash, in case this helps narrow down the code search.

Hi and thanks for your bugreport. Just a small note: Please paste the backtrace directly into the comments. This makes it easier for developers to find similar bugs.

Comment 4 Peter Penz 2008-12-05 15:28:51 UTC

I'm clueless honestly speaking what might be the root cause of this crash and cannot reproduce it... I've set David Faure to CC.

Comment 5 David Faure 2008-12-05 17:20:42 UTC

Same as 176876 I think, which has more debug symbols.

Comment 6 David Faure 2009-01-08 02:57:56 UTC

My bad, it was unrelated to 176876 since this one is about the filesharing code.

Comment 7 David Faure 2009-01-08 02:58:09 UTC

*** Bug 178627 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 8 David Faure 2009-01-08 02:59:36 UTC

Comment pasted from 176876:

"In /etc/security/fileshare.conf, SHARINGMODE was set to "advanced", however "simple" seems to be required. After I've changed this line in fileshare.conf the properties dialog appears
again."

To be investigated...
