Description Clemens Fruhwirth 2009-03-27 01:35:23 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

The following incorrect entry ended up in my fstab somehow:

:none            /proc/bus/usb             usbfs        defaults   0   0

It makes digikam (for instance) lock upon startup. The process consumes 100% cpu, probably there is some error in string tokenizing that?
Removing the ':' fixes the problem.

What other KDE application suffer this?
Thanks
Comment 2 Clemens Fruhwirth 2009-05-03 10:31:10 UTC 
The bug slipped out of reproducibility for me (I also changed distribution in between). IIRC, most KDE file selectors suffered from this because as soon as I brought them up, the application freezed, if ":none..." was in fstab. kopete is such an example.

If you can't reproduce it, just close please.
