Description Giuseppe Nespolino 2016-01-19 16:02:29 UTC

When I launch ark, then close it with wm close button, I can still see ark process alive in system processes.
Launching several time ark, then closing all ark windows, results in several ark processes still alive in system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. killall ark
2. launch several ark instances
3. close all ark instances using window manager button (or File->Exit, or CTRL-Q)
3. pgrep "^ark$"

Actual Results:  
pgrep returns several PIDs of running ark instances

Expected Results:  
no ark PIDs should appear

Can you check what's the version of the kxmlgui package? (Not sure about the correct name on Kubuntu).

This is a known bug with Ark < 15.12 + KXMLGui = 5.17

Yep, that explains it. 

Possible solutions:

1. Wait for/Install Ark 15.12
2. Ask Kubuntu to backport the fix to Ark 15.08
3. Downgrade to libkxmlgui 5.16

Comment 4 Elvis Angelaccio 2016-01-19 20:30:41 UTC

Btw I asked on the #kubuntu-devel IRC channel and they told me that either Ark 15.12 or a backport for ark 15.08.3 should land soon in Kubuntu repos.

Closing this report as fixed.

Thank you so much, this was better than an enterprise support ;)
