Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs Recently my Akregator hang for no obvious reasons I could only kill it via -KILL signal. Right now one my feeds files is broken to the point Akregator 100% hangs when I try to run it. There are no tools for feed data files recovery, as such I strongly suggest switching to SQLite backend. I can provide you a feed file in question (it's actually three files). This bug status is not CRASH but the application is totally unusable.
Created attachment 33358 [details] One of broken feeds For two feeds I've lost 99.99% of past articles - they are either garbage or empty having 1970-01-01 05:00 date.
Actually I've got as many as six feeds lost. Their respective data files are all broken - almost all articles are lost. :(
The issues with metakit storage will be history when we switch to using Akonadi, which will hopefully happen for 4.4.
Is there currently a way to recover broken articles files? It seems like when I delete those broken articles Akregator does nothing and at each new start it shows them again (not to mention it takes over 5 minutes to start with 100% CPU usage).
no, one has to delete/move the broken files (or just all of them) from ~/.kde/share/apps/akregator/Archive See also bug 116482 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 116482 ***
