Description Sabine Faure 2010-07-22 22:53:56 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

A fatal error is encountered when launching Kmail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch Kontact and go to Kmail
- Kmail main window appears

Actual Results:  
But a pop up error dialogue appears saying: 'Kmail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now. The error was: Timeout trying to get lock.'

Expected Results:  
Kmail should launch properly as it was the case last week. This is a regression.

Comment 1 David Faure 2010-07-22 22:58:06 UTC

The lock seems to be held by the maildispatcher agent:

:1.57
 org.freedesktop.Akonadi.Agent.akonadi_maildispatcher_agent
 org.freedesktop.Akonadi.MailDispatcherAgent
 org.kde.akonadi_maildispatcher_agent-5114
 org.kde.pim.SpecialCollections

MorpHeUz said it happens to him too.
krake said he suspects Volker's changes to the collection request job.
(I found r1152207, r1152210 and r1152237)

Comment 2 David Faure 2010-07-23 13:59:43 UTC

I can confirm that the problem is gone after reverting 4 commits in kdepimlibs/akonadi:

svn merge -c-1152237 .
svn merge -c-1152207 .
svn merge -c-1152240 .
svn merge -c-1152210 .

Reverting just the first two wasn't enough, and 1152240 is just a cleanup, so it's very probably 1152210.

fixed with commits 1154803 and 1154807

Comment 7 Sabine Faure 2010-07-30 01:17:26 UTC

It is corrected now.

The fatal error pop up dialogue does not appear anymore and Kmail works properly now.
