Version: 0.12.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages When Kopete starts up from a restored session, and I start to log in while my system is still under heavy load, Kopete will hang for sure. When it has to open messages sent to me while I was offline the system dosen't need to be stressed for this to happen (at least as I check after I notice the hangup). Sometimes it hangs showing the password dialog for my only Jabber account whitch hasn't a password stored (I have four Jabber accounts, one ICQ and one Gadu-Gadu). Then I have no other way than to kill the proces. I don't know if this has any connection with this but when I start Kopete from the console I notice a lot of: QDateTime::fromString: Parameter out of range showing up.
Do you use KWallet for storing passwords? It may be similar to bug 133795.
Yes, I do use KWallet, but i think thats where similarities end. I connect the hangups with system load.
I suffer from the same problem - it hangs while starting up (I have a shortcut in autostart) and hangs on delivery of due messages when I was offline as well. "QDateTime::fromString: Parameter out of range" is also visible when I start it from the console. Specs: gentoo, amd64, kde 3.5.5. So, since Michal is on Debian and on different arch, maybe it has something to do with our locale settings (I assume he's using Polish)?
Is there a way then for Kopete to ignore localization without restarting whole KDE?
In the shell: KDE_LANG="en_US" kopete
(Evety thing done in a stressed system) First I closed an old Kopete process And then > KDE_LANG="en_US" kopete & After a while: kopete: ERROR: Communication problem with kopete, it probably crashed. [1]+ Exit 255 KDE_LANG="en_US" kopete I repeated thinking that there was something stale left > KDE_LANG="en_US" kopete & A lot of "QDateTime::fromString: Parameter out of range" appeared, but kopete wasn't responding. So: > killall kopete [1]+ Done KDE_LANG="en_US" kopete And again > KDE_LANG="en_US" kopete & Whitch only gave: kopete: ERROR: Communication problem with kopete, it probably crashed. [1]+ Exit 255 KDE_LANG="en_US" kopete Reppeating againg gave me finaly a working Kopete. So I connect all my protocols. Kdewallet ask for my password. I input it and another window asking for my password appeared (one of the accounts isn't in the wallet. The cursor blinks once and then Kopete stops responding. So I kill Kopete and start it again without localisation. This time Kopete hangs after I input the second password, but only for a few seconds and it works normaly since then. To sumarize the above description is identical for running a localised process.
Additionaly I've got an SIGBART when I recived a message while moving a ~700MB file.
hangs are not crashes. However, backtraces from when Kopete hangs would be useful. Please read http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports for more details.
Can you reproduce and if yes, can you provide a backtrace?
We're still waiting for more information. Please provide a backtrace of when the hang occurs as described in comment #8. Once you have that, please paste it into a comment and then reopen the bug. Thanks
