Can you read http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports and post a complete backtrace here? Thanks :)

Indeed I can read I suspect that you wanted to say may you read.
Anyhow I can not generate the trace as I do not have the debug packages installed and I can not install them due to s**t internet connection for the moment.

Alin

First of all sorry about the "Can you read", my english is a little poor as it isn't my native language. Sorry. 

Even without the debug symbols packages you can generate a backtrace that can be of any use (at least for searching duplicate reports)

You can do the following:
- Open a Konsole window
- Run "gdb kontact"
- Type "set logging on" and press Return (this will create a file named "gdb.txt" in the current PATH, ensure that you haven't a file with the same filename)
- Type "run" and press Return
Kontact starts, and crashes
- Type "bt full" and press Return until there's no more function names or info.
- Then "quit"

Finally post the gdb.txt text here.
Thanks :)

trace

Well it doesn't have anything in it, I can't do anything. :(

what about tring to reproduce it?

Alin

Here using:
Qt: 4.4.3 + qt-copy-patches-889120
KDE: 4.2.60 (KDE 4.2.60 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090106))
kdepim svn rev.905565
on ArchLinux x86_64 - Kernel 2.6.27.10

Mh, after adding a IMAP+SMTP gmail account , using kwallet to storage the passwords, and after deleting the KWallet folders (using KWalletManager) related to KMail/Kontact, Kontact is starting without crashing,. it just only ask me for the password again (as it's not stored)

May be you use different account/services, or may be the problem is related to your Kontact/KMail configuration files...
Or may be you deleted your KWallet data in another way, (may be deleting the config files itself?)

May you detail more the situation ?. Thanks :)

you should try to start kontact not kmail

Alin

Indeed, I'm starting Kontact

trace

I hope this one is better. At least is the best that I can do for the moment.

Alin

It have more info at least :)

Pasted backtrace from attachment at comment 10:

This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

The backtrace looks very similar to the one in bug 177294 so it's probably a duplicate. 

Events loops again...

Same here, I think.

Should this be a blocking bug ?

@Tom: your crash may be different from the original reported one.
Can you do what I said in comment 3 to get a backtrace? If your backtrace looks *exactly* the same as the one in comment 11, you can post your information here. If it's a lot different you need to file a new bug report

Oops, no, my crash is actually #180714

SVN commit 923208 by krake:

Using nested event loops to achieve synchronous call behavior while doing Akonadi jobs has created way to many issues due to unexpected re-entrancy.

This is basically backport of a series of changes in trunk which replace this form of blocking with real blocking of the caller and delegating the Akonadi job execution to a worker thread.

This should fix all the bugs this is sent to. If they remain with 4.2.1 once it is released, please re-open.

Darío, in case I missed some of the eventloop related bugs, please feel free to close them as well.
