Description Alexandre Thieme Reis 2009-06-29 16:01:51 UTC 
Version:           4.2.4 (using KDE 4.2.4)
Compiler:          gcc 4.4.0 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Randomly work area crash with this message:

The application "work area" from plasma (plasma) crashed and cause signal 11 (SEGSEGV)

Este backtrace parece não ter utilidade.
Isto provavelmente ocorre porque seus pacotes foram construí­dos de uma maneira na qual não podem criar seus próprios backtraces, ou a pilha foi seriamente corrompida.

Translation:

"This backtrace seems not to have utility.
This probably occurs because its packages had been constructed in a way in which they cannot create its proper backtraces, or the stack seriously was corrupted" ... Excuse my poor english !!!

Comment 1 Dario Andres 2009-06-29 16:45:06 UTC 
Bug 189725 comment 8 seems to have a related backtrace.

- What is your Qt4 version?
Do you remember what were you doing when the application crashed? Do you think you could reproduce the crash at will (or wait for it to happen again?)

If you experience this regularly, may you read http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports and post a complete backtrace here? You may need to install the "kdebase4-workspace-debuginfo" and "libqt4-debuginfo" packages. Thanks
Comment 2 Beat Wolf 2009-06-29 20:22:21 UTC 
I'm pretty certain this is the same bug after the backtrace, but since the other bug report is a little bit a mess with multiple backtraces i don't feel good by marking this as a dup
Comment 3 Aaron J. Seigo 2009-07-05 11:05:46 UTC 
#9  0x023d4f9c in QWidget::create(unsigned long, bool, bool) () from
/usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4
#10 0x011210de in Plasma::Theme::font(Plasma::Theme::FontRole) const () from
/usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_systemtray.so

this backtrace doesn't make any sense: there is no call at all to QWidget from Theme::font, which just makes some calls into KConfig.

the Theme object has to be correct as well because it's retrieved right before the call to Theme::font.

there is also only one call to Theme::font in the system tray widget: in the NotificationWidget constructor. so it can't be that it's a call from a deleted or otherwise bad item.

what's really weird is that the backtrace thinks the Theme::font method exists in the system tray widget library? that's also pretty wrong.

so, yes, we need a new backtrace, one with the debug packages installed.

    switch (role) {
    case DesktopFont:

    break;
    case DefaultFont:
    default:
        return d->generalFont;
        break;

Also, it seems the situation is related to suspend and resume. Weird~

Comment 7 Dario Andres 2009-09-04 14:52:16 UTC 
Mh.. this looks like a distro related thingy: look at bug 206240 it also has the plasma_applet_systemtray.so/Plasma::Theme::font "mismatch". 
The four reports are from Fedora....
Comment 8 dwrunkle 2009-09-07 16:17:22 UTC 
I had a similar crash in Kubuntu Jaunty while filling out a form in Firefox.  Perhaps this can shed some light on the problem.

bug #212928 was on ubuntu, so it isn't fedora specific. it may be x.org driver specific, though, with ubuntu only picking up this driver after fedora?

In fact, I was trying to have two different "main" reports because of the
"Plasma::Theme::font"/"SystemTray::X11EmbedContainer::embedSystemTrayClient"
differences between Fedora-exclusive backtraces and the other ones..., but I
guess they are all related in the end...

Comment 25 Aaron J. Seigo 2009-11-05 20:02:50 UTC 
something is going very wrong in this method as called from a number of different places as can be seen in the various backtraces.

after doing some research in various g++ bug reports and reading some fun articles on switch statement handling, the only thing i can think of is that the switch statement is failing (bad value passed in? compiler bug?) and no return is made due to the switch statement and we enter an undefined state. :/

i've added a switch statement to the end of the method to help the compiler out in this case. hopefully this closes this issue for good, though i'll keep an eye out for similar bt's and reopen in necessary.

cheers.

Comment 44 Dotan Cohen 2009-11-29 13:02:05 UTC 
Why is this marked as fixed? There are still bugs being filed about this with KDE 4.3.2 and most of the dupes have dupes as well. I see no mention of a fix anywhere.
Comment 45 Beat Wolf 2009-11-29 13:18:08 UTC 
because from what i can read from aarons post that it has been fixed in trunk, but not in 4.3. and indeed, there where no backtraces from trunk since then, so it probably is indeed fixed
Comment 46 Dotan Cohen 2009-11-29 13:27:46 UTC 
For my own future reference, that would be comment #25. Thanks. If I see any KDE 4.4 dupes I'll make mention of it.

Have a great week.

Is there a reason everyone was removed from the CC list?  Or was it accidental?
Comment 67 Dario Andres 2010-01-29 22:45:14 UTC 
There is a reason: the bug is fixed in 4.4, but the duplicate reports keep coming from 4.3 installations. Removing everyone from the CC list will avoid the previous reporter to get tons of mails from this report :). Regards

Do not hard code font sizes or names

Also, avoid constructing a font in the first place. This might help
for the (original) bug 198294, where Plasma::Theme::font() crashes
in widget creation.

Comment 131 Christoph Feck 2010-08-13 16:56:35 UTC 
This crash is caused by passing an invalid window (BadMatch) to
QWidget::create(). For details, see the discussion in the upstream link.

Creating the window can fail when passed a visual that is not compatible with the visual of the parent window.

I have no idea how/if Plasma can handle this case, but it should make sure it does not pass an invalid window to QWidget::create().

For the meantime, I committed the above mentioned fix to trunk. Plasma team can decide to improve upon it, revert it, or backport it.

Operating System: Linux 2.6.35-ARCH i686

-- Information about the crash:
It looks like a duplicate of all these bugs, although I don't have enough knowledge to tell. It happens randomly (but quite often, say about every 15 minutes). It happens while I'm using any application or even when the PC is just left by itself. Plasma crashes and sometimes (but not always) restarts itself automatically. I'm not aware of any settings that might have some relation to the crashes.

Comment 136 Aaron J. Seigo 2010-09-11 20:03:56 UTC 
the issue in comment #135 is a different issue, and due to a third party applet (email notifier).
Comment 137 Christoph Feck 2010-09-14 01:58:10 UTC 
I don't think my commit (comment #130) qualifies as a fix. It is true that Qt no longer crashes because of the passed invalid Window, but such a Window should not be created in the first place.

Until this will be fixed (which I have no idea how to solve, I only have read something about needing to pass a good color map, as well as background pixel values) we will get bug reports for missing icons on the system tray instead.

ah, thats why i don't have a amarok icon anymore?

Comment 141 Beat Wolf 2010-10-28 10:38:31 UTC 
is this supposed to be fixed in 4.5.2 ? because the last duplicate was from that version. If yes, i will reopen that bugreport.
Comment 142 Christoph Feck 2010-10-28 13:40:36 UTC 
Please read comment #137. To make it short: The commit that fixes the crash is only in trunk, and I did not backport it because of comment #131.

In regard to Comment #137 From Christoph Feck 2010-09-14 01:58:10

I can not add the "Task Manager" icon to the panel. I would click on the panel cashew select "Add Widgets". The widgets selection panel would then appear with the Widgets that are loaded on the box. Then scroll to the "Task Manager" icon. A information panel for the Widget then appears and I press the left mouse button. The icon would then grey out. But the "Task Manager" is not added to the panel. This will add any other Widget just not the "Task Manager". I used to be able to reload the Nvidia driver (The factory driver close source the version did not matter) to fix the problem. That no longer works. I know this is a little off the subject but I hope it helps.
