Sentry Crash Report:

Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2013-07-01 20:19:35 UTC

Since 4.11 when I launch Dolphin, the window appears and is completely drawn (all the icons and controls are there except for previews which build up afterwards and the information panel on the right), responds for a fraction of a second (eg. if you repeatedly press F4 after you clicked the Dolphin shortcut, it will come up with the Konsole opened) and then is unresponsive for a second or two.

Launch Dolphin:
Dolphin window appears
One event cycle is processed
Dolphin freezes for almost 2 seconds
Previews are built
Dolphin continues to work normally after that

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Frank Reininghaus 2013-07-01 21:06:42 UTC

Thanks for the bug report, but I cannot reproduce the problem. Please run Dolphin in gdb, stop it using Ctrl+Z while it's frozen, and provide a backtrace.

It would also be interesting which view mode you use, what the folder contents are sorted by, and how many folders/files are in places where you can reproduce this problem.

Comment 2 Emmanuel Pescosta 2013-07-01 23:24:21 UTC

I can reproduce this problem with enabled tooltips or with a visible information panel. The freeze happenes somewhere in nepomuk-widgets/nepomuk-core. (FileMetaDataWidget calls userVisibleRoles which blocks Dolphin)

Comment 3 Frank Reininghaus 2013-07-02 06:09:00 UTC

Thanks Emmanuel for testing it. I guess we should reassign to Nepomuk then. However, I still think that a backtrace would be helpful (I cannot test it myself because I'm currently at the machine where I build kde-baseapps master on top of kdelibs 4.10 with some hacks).

Comment 4 Vishesh Handa 2013-07-02 09:29:11 UTC

Could you please provide be a backtrace? You'll have to gdb into dolphin when it is frozen.

gdb --pid DolphinPID
> thread apply all backtrace

Comment 5 Emmanuel Pescosta 2013-07-02 12:13:09 UTC

Here is the backtrace: (Compiled kdelibs, nepomuk-core, nepomuk-widgets and kde-baseapps from git master)

Git commit 376b6de7916138f75c8c08b4fdfc1a6fbf26102d by Vishesh Handa.
Committed on 07/07/2013 at 22:08.
Pushed by vhanda into branch 'master'.

ResourceLoader: Load all the associated properties as well

When using the FileMetadataWidget, the MetadatFilter class is used which
internally uses Types::Property. This Property class is unfortunately
synchronous and can block for a bit. Therefore we load all the
properties in this separate thread so that they are always there in the
cache.

This never used to be a problem earlier because connecting to the
Nepomuk Server used to be quite fast. Since now we connect directly to
virtuoso, it can take some time and block.
