Description Kristian Rink 2013-01-07 10:25:07 UTC
Recently, gwenview fails to correctly start on my machine, continuously showing "something" happening yet never coming to an end. Using kdebugdialog didn't expose any useful information; strace does, however:

[...]
read(10, "\0\0\0\0", 4)                 = 4
write(10, "\25\0", 2)                   = 2
write(10, "\311|\206a", 4)              = 4
select(11, [10], NULL, NULL, {600, 0})  = 1 (in [10], left {599, 999886})
read(10, "\2\0\0\0", 4)                 = 4
read(10, "\1\0\0\0", 4)                 = 4
read(10, "p", 1)                        = 1
read(10, "\1", 1)                       = 1
read(10, "@\0\0\0", 4)                  = 4
read(10, "http://www.semanticdesktop.org/o"..., 64) = 64
read(10, "\1\0\0\0", 4)                 = 4
read(10, "o", 1)                        = 1
read(10, "\2", 1)                       = 1
read(10, "\0", 1)                       = 1
read(10, "\30\0\0\0", 4)                = 4
read(10, "2012", 4)                     = 4
mmap(NULL, 842088448, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f7cddcec000
read(10, "-11-29T20:15:03.083Z)\0\0\0http://w"..., 842084402) = 74
read(10, 
[...]

This is where it keeps waiting until I eventually terminate the process. Two things about that:

(a) It would be nice having the application start even if updating any external resources fails.

(b) Likewise, it would be helpful to have the startup message be a bit more verbose on what actually happens. ;)

Reproducible: Always

I think this is actually the same as bug 312823.  Please reopen if not.
