Version: 1.10.3 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 51.1", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.25.18-0.2-default kontact starts _very_ slow - about 3 minutes (my machine has a dual core pentium and 2 GB RAM!). When I start kontact from konsole, I get the following output: tim@linux-t4o1:~> kontact <unknown program name>(3788)/: Communication problem with "kontact" , it probably crashed. Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." " tim@linux-t4o1:~> "/usr/bin/kontact(3789)" Error in thread 140196084209408 : "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply - Did not receive a reply.

Sorry, wrong component. Should be "kontact" instead of "kmail" (was just the default from the "report bugs" function).
Kontact version is 1.3 (Help->About Kontact) or 4.1.3-61.5 (RPM version number).
can you get a backtrace? you have to install debug packages perhaps to get a meaningfull one.
I've installed the debug package. A backtrace is something that happens after a crash, right? Well, I'm not shure if there is really a crash - the application finally works, but takes _very_ long time to start. Here is a details overview of what I've done (and the messages I've recieved on the console after installing the debug packages): 1.) start konsole 2.) "kontact" 3.) 1 minute nothing happens 4.) I see: <unknown program name>(3630)/: Communication problem with "kontact" , it probably crashed. Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." " tim@linux-t4o1:~> 5.) 2 minutes and 30 seconds nothing happens 6.) kontact windows appears and the application works fine. This happens only the first time after booting. The second time I start kontact, on the console I get immediately the message "kontact(3848) KWallet::Wallet::openWallet: Pass a valid window to KWallet::Wallet::openWallet()." and immediatly (after about 3 seconds only) the konctact window appears.
Do you start kontact in a full KDE4 session or, for example, in a KDE3/gnome/... session ?
A full KDE 4.1.3 session (packages from opensuse build service).
I see something similar (in trunk svn r882080) doing the following: 1. Start an Icewm session (no kde program at all, except akonadi server) 2. start an xterm 3. "kontact" 4. I get (among a lot of other debug traces) kio_file(3991)/kdecore (KSycoca) KSycocaPrivate::openDatabase: Trying to open ksycoca from "/var/tmp/kdecache-jtamate/ksycoca4" kio_file(3990)/kdecore (KSycoca) KSycocaPrivate::openDatabase: Trying to open ksycoca from "/var/tmp/kdecache-jtamate/ksycoca4" <unknown program name>(3952)/: Communication problem with "kontact" , it probably crashed. Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." " NOTICE the PID of the unknown program, lower than kontact pid (and inexistent). At the same time, I get a kwallet window with: "The application 'Kontact' has requested to open the wallet 'kdewallet'. Please enter the password for this wallet bellow." 5. after entering the password.. 6. Everything goes smoothly and I get a kontact running (after it loads all the configuration and all the pim programs) Second try: After removing the checkbox in kwalletmanager settings "Prompt when an application accesses an open wallet" new icewm session xterm kontact runs smoothly after all the programs and settings are read.
I've now noticed that there's a similar (or the same?) problem with dolphin. I just didn't noticed that until now because after booting I usually first Kontact and not Konqueror. So that's maybe a problem of kdelibs or another library?
Could not reproduce in opoenSUSE 11.1 anymore.
