Description Felix Seeger 2003-07-29 07:43:47 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Yesterday kmail worked fine, but after a cvs update it doesn't start anymore.
(From time to time it starts, but most of the time it fails.)

I get this on konsole:

hal@hal:~/download/kde3/cvs$ kmail
kmail: No Qt-native utf-7 codec found; registering QUtf7Codec from libkdenetwork
kmail: instantating IdentityManager
kmail: KMIdentity::readConfig(): UOID = 0 for identity named "Default"
kmail: KMIdentity::readConfig(): UOID = 938112923 for identity named "Stephi"
kmail: pPopFilter set
ERROR: Communication problem with kmail, it probably crashed.

Last lines of strace:
kmail: pPopFilter set
"\2\4\0\2\0\0\0\0", 8)          = 8
read(3, "\1\0\0\0", 4)                  = 4
write(2, "ERROR: Communication problem....

.xsession-errors:
DCOP: register 'kmail' -> number of clients is now 22
DCOP: register 'anonymous-7280' -> number of clients is now 23
DCOP aborting call from 'anonymous-7280' to 'kmail'
DCOP: unregister 'kmail'
DCOP: unregister 'anonymous-7280'

I tried removing the lock file and restarted kde with a kill -s9 of all kdeinit programs.
Comment 1 Ingo Klöcker 2003-07-29 11:26:52 UTC 
After a cvs update of what? Only kdepim? Or also kdelibs? Does going back to 
a previous cvs state fix the problem? 
 
I suppose you don't get a backtrace, right?
Comment 2 Felix Seeger 2003-07-29 16:04:24 UTC 
I don't get a backtrace right. That is the biggest problem for me. 
I've done an update of my complete kde tree (support, libs, base, net, pim and 
others) 
 
I haven't tried to go back, I think I have to do that with the "x days old" 
option of cvs right ?
Comment 3 Boyd Faulkner 2003-07-29 20:56:10 UTC 
My crash is very similar and I do get a stack trace.

Maybe this will help.
Comment 4 Till Adam 2003-07-31 21:47:07 UTC 
Should be fixed in cvs in the meantime. Closing.
