Bug 351737

For me this happens when opening a .tsv file on a remote server. I have assigned .tsv files to libreoffice calc.

When i click one such file it gets downloaded to a tmp dir, and opened with calc. Only problem is: dolphin freezes for ~5 min before becoming responsive again and showing the “kdeinit - can't start /usr/lib/kf5/kioexec” dialog

bug 343329 might be related

This happens to me as well, with files accessed over HTTP and SFTP, the two protocols I use. When opening an SFTP file in Dolphin, it does hang Dolphin until the error appears.

Getting the same problem on opensuse tumbleweed, frameworks 15.14.0, dolphin 15.08.0, when opening files using kwrite from fish://.

I have the same problem, also opensuse tumbleweed like previous comment

I have this problem when I close a file opened by the recent documents...

(In reply to tago from comment #5)
> I have this problem when I close a file opened by the recent documents...

edit: when I close a LibreOffice file opened by the recent documents

This bug renders dolphin unusable to me at work. Could you please tell, how I can help, to get this bug fixed?

I'm pretty lost myself, but you might try to capture the command line output of a command like

"kioclient5 exec sftp://example.net/home/path/to/.vimrc"

(or some other file that will open up in a program that doesn't support URLs natively). I used gvim for this.

You should have the URL point to the remote document you've been having problems with. The kioclient program make ask you to select which program to open with -- use the editor (LibreOffice or similar).

Hopefully you should still get the same error, otherwise I'd be even more at a loss what to do. I'm also CC'ing David Faure who is a KIO expert, maybe he'll have more advice.

Tried that - there is no command line output, the problem seems to be that kioexec5 hangs. If I use it to open something with a KDE app, kioexec5 starts the app and terminates right away and all is well. If, however, it opens LibreOffice or something, it never terminates, not even after you close LibreOffice.

Here's the output from attached gdb, no debug symbols unfortunately, but it looks like it may be of use anyway:

Is this bug also relevant? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353037

If I try to open a video file (local file) from the recent documents list (opened by VLC), I do have the same problem (Il est impossible pour KDEInit de lancer "/usr/lib/kf5/kioexec"). 

The menu of recent documents shall run kioexec in the background and not wait the return of kioexec...

Yes this should be the same as bug 353037 --> please try again with KF 5.17.

This bug is fixed with KF 5.17 (at least for the menu of the recent documents).

Well that's good news then!

After reviewing the backtrace from bug 353037 I'm convinced it is the same as this one, so I'll close this one as a duplicate and breath a sign of relief that it's already fixed...
