- When was the first time you experienced this crash ? - Did you had packages updates recently ? May be the "libxine" package was updated ? Thanks *** Bug 221048 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This could be related to bug 212867 too.. It seems to be a Xine error... *** Bug 221229 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** - If you can reproduce the crash at will (or you experience this regularly), can you install the "libxine1-dbg" package and generate a complete backtrace (you can get more information at http://techbase.kde.org/User:DarioAndres/Basic_Guide_about_Crash_Reporting ) to later report this issue at http://bugs.xine-project.org/. (do not forget to mention the version of your "libxine1" package. Thanks my libxine1 (presently 1.1.16.3-0ubuntu4) package has been updated maybe when upgrading to KDE 4.3.85 fot test ; this I cannot confirm ; I have installed the libxine1-dbg ; my next report will include dbg info ; thanks for your help. *** Bug 221768 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 221929 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I did everything that was demanded to diagnos the bug but then I never received any procedure to resume proper functioning of KDE 4.3.2 (as reinstalled after failure of installation of KDE 4.3.85 for test); please can you telle me what I need to reinstall as wouls be installed whithe a fresh installation of KDE 4.3.2 (I have just installed KDE 4.3.2 on a new machine and I don not have the bug with KNotify then what ? The bug is not caused by KDE, but by an external library "Xine". If the new machine is working properly, and it is using the same distribution, try using the same packages versions of "libxine" and "phonon"-related packages that you have in your working-machine. You may need to "move out"/delete your ~/.xine directory Regards I compared both installations for libxine and phonon packages ; they are of same versions ; I removed extra xine packages in the buggy system just to make sur : still the same bug. I removed ~/.xine directory and even ~/.pulse directory : still no way to log into KDE session. I created an entirely dummy user just to make sure old KDE settings was not the problem : in this cas an akonadi window appears in front of a black screen and that is it. I just recall that now I have to uses KDE apps with Gnome which I did as well when testing KDE 4.3.85 I do not know what to do because there is nothiing really usable to simply re-install KDE from Gnome for example. Regards. *** Bug 222472 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 215497 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This was also reported in (K)Ubuntu at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xine-lib/+bug/420686 . Reported upstream: http://bugs.xine-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299 (I asked for workarounds too) According to http://bugs.xine-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299#c1 , this could be caused by a full partition issue, truncating the contents of a xine config file. Removing ~/.xine/catalog.cache and restarting should fix that case. - Could the people experiencing the crash check it ? Thanks Removing ~/.xine/catalog.cache appears to have solved the issue for now for me. However, I am dubious about the "full partition issue"... None of the partitions on my PC are anywhere close to being full, so I can't see why that file would get truncated due to lack of space.

In both cases KDE 3.2.85 or KDE 4.3.2 I have to open a Gnome session to work where all KDE applications are available. Lately I have reinstalled all the xine and phonon and then phonon related packages ; now some improvement as the Knotify4 has desapeard but I end-up with a black screen which another dead end. I tried also to login with a new user just to make sure but no progress at all. Apparentlty the bug is still realted with sound as sound is all the time muted when loggin. I do not know what to do except reinstalling everingthing as there is no proper way to simply re-install KDE (Which should be investigated for user anyways). Any idee ? Thanks. Eventually I reinstalled the whole distro ; now Kde 4.3.2 works fine I mean I can open a KDE session with no problems ; I even installed KDE 4.3.95 for test with no problem ; so the syndrom of the blackscreen after the KNotify4 bug that finally no more popped-up is behind me but I wished I could have got help in time. *** Bug 225278 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 233957 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 236631 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
