Reassign to the kde-windows guys for investigation. Please double-check the exact dbus version for which it happens. This was indeed a windows-specific dbus bug with 1.2.x but it has been fixed in 1.3.x and later. Do you build kde-windows through emerge ? Yes I am using emerge. I upgraded again to DBus 1.3.1 by running emerge -i dbus-src. dbus-daemon --version now prints 1.3.1. I had to move the system.d folder from \kde\etc\dbus-1 to \kde\etc to start applications. The freeze is still present, tough. I am recompiling kdelibs right now (related to a different bug) so I can't really try anything right now but so far it doesn't seem that it changed anything.... It seems as if the dbus upgrade improved the situation but it didn't fix it. Or the problem lies in the attica kcm... F:\kde>dbus-daemon --version D-Bus Message Bus Daemon 1.3.1 Copyright (C) 2002, 2003 Red Hat, Inc., CodeFactory AB, and others This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR P URPOSE. Steps to reproduce: kcmshell4 kcm_attica Set your username > Ok kcmshell4 kcm_attica Hangs Killing dbus-daemon shows the kcm (but then it doesn't show any service providers). Regards, Peter It seems that my application (simon) that uses the attica kcm is very receptive for this behaviour. I uploaded a current prototype (windows installer binary) that uses dbus 1.3.x that still emits this behaviour to help troubleshooting. The installer contains DBus, KDE, etc. so to reproduce the bug just install it, run it (if you don't uncheck it simon starts automatically after the installation). Skip the first run wizard (cancel), click around a bit in the settings, close the application start it again and go into the settings again. It should hang. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Peter Sorry I forgot the URL of the installer: http://hotfile.com/dl/67465166/cfe1be5/simon-0.3-win32.exe.html Problem fixed with latest dbus-src package from emerge (1.4.0 based). I stand corrected... after testing 1.3.1 had a regression on this bug, and 1.4.0 still has it, so I had to apply another fix to solve the issue. Note that the fix for 1.4.x is still pending for inclusion upstream, so building dbus from freedesktop's git won't have the fix before another couple of days, currently only emerge has the patch applied. nb: sorry I couln't mark the bug as resolved, probably because I'm not in the kde-windows group or something. Somebody else do it for me please :) I happy to resolve this for Romain. |
