Description Georg Sauthoff 2007-01-10 20:32:59 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hi,

I reported this a month ago at the ubuntu bug tracker - but apparently, nobody at ubuntu forwarded this report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/74653

Short: Konqeuror hangs in a nondeterministic fashion when klicking at a pdf-link from some web-page (in normal situations the pdf is displayed via the kpdf kpart inside konqueror).

The bug report includes short gdb backtraces (-dbg packages installed) after two observed hangs. I have the full backtraces and the core-files (generated via gdb gcore) saved, too.

Please let me now, if you need more information.

Best regards

PS: I am using Kubuntu 6.10.

Any webpage? A specific one? If so, can i have the link?
Comment 2 Georg Sauthoff 2007-01-10 21:02:13 UTC
sorry - i don't have a specific website for this - I tried the webpage and the direct pdf link after a hang in a new konqueror instance - but i had no luck to reproduce this issue this easy (i.e. it worked many times with the same .pdf form the specific page after one hang).
Comment 3 Pino Toscano 2007-01-11 11:51:49 UTC
As both the backtraces show, it hangs in libpoppler. As KPDF does *not* use poppler (but the ubuntu-patched version does), I'd say that ubuntu is responsible for the bug. (It could be also a reason why nobody forwarded it upstream.)

ok, since libpoppler is not supported by the kpdf team and in Ubuntu 7.04 there are no problems anymore I close this report
