Version: kde 4.3.00 (using Devel) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources kde 4.3.00 (sidenote: there isn't this choice yet, when reporting via website formular..) Archlinux, kernel 2.6.30.4, Qt 4.5.2 Steps to reproduce: add widgets> choose openDesktop What I see: just black screen and mouse(which i can move),nothing else happens for a long time, i just 'killall X' then It's a bit different to a plasma crash, because in that case, plasma restarts itself. More info: the crash is caused only by openDesktop widgets, others work well for me. openDesktop isn't on the list by default, but i could install it from my distribution's repos. (archlinux) Have a nice day :)
please do the following: * open a konsole window * run: kquitapp plasma-desktop * run: plasma-desktop * clear the konsole buffer at this point (ctrl+alt+x does the trick nicely :) * add the offending widget * attach the output at the point of crash; my guess is that we'll see a missing symbol or an assert.
Hi, thank you very much for guiding me, here's the output: #### kill plasma [marek@beruska ~]$ kquitapp plasma-desktop Invalid D-BUS interface name 'org.kde.plasma-desktop.PlasmaApp' found while parsing introspection [marek@beruska ~]$ echo $? 0 #### restart plasma [marek@beruska ~]$ plasma-desktop QDBusObjectPath: invalid path "" couldn't create image from "/home/jan/branding.png" QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 0 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 2 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 6 QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to Plasma::Dialog "", which already has a layout Object::connect: No such signal IHTC::zoomOut() Invalid D-BUS interface name 'org.kde.plasma-desktop.PlasmaApp' found while parsing introspection ###### openDesktop widget added at this point ####### [marek@beruska ~]$ QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 2 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 2 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 1 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 2 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 1 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 2 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 2 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 1 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 2 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 1 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 2 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 2 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 2 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 2 QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 2 ##### skipped repetitive messages, about a million times this line: QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 2 ###### a side note Please notice the complaint about invalid path: QDBusObjectPath: invalid path "" couldn't create image from "/home/jan/branding.png" Good night, Marek
> QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt: invalid index 2 a-ha. so somewhere there's a loop that isn't terminating and that is dealing with a grid layout. that should help us track it down, thanks. :)
btw, are you adding the widget to the desktop or to a panel?
hello, i would like to confirm - I have exactly the same problem. When adding OpenDesktop widget to desktop, it crashes and all i can see is cursor and all i can do is ctrl+alt+backspace triliner@pleiades:~$ kquitapp plasma-desktop Invalid D-BUS interface name 'org.kde.plasma-desktop.PlasmaApp' found while parsing introspection triliner@pleiades:~$ plasma-desktop QDBusObjectPath: invalid path "" QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to QWidget "", which already has a layout Object::connect: No such signal NMWiredNetworkInterface::connectionStateChanged(int,int,int) "KConfigIni: In file /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/kickoffrc, line 3: " Invalid entry (missing '=') X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 20 (X_GetProperty) Resource id: 0x0 X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 20 (X_GetProperty) Resource id: 0x0 X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Resource id: 0x0 Invalid D-BUS interface name 'org.kde.plasma-desktop.PlasmaApp' found while parsing introspection
i'm adding it to the desktop, tried to add to a panel now and it's the same.
some progress: The bug occurs when adding the widget with different style than Oxygen set. temporary workaround: *SystemSettings > Look&Feel > Appearance > Style : set to Oxygen *add openDesktop widget *set kde style back to your liking
update: that way it worked till i had to relog to KDE, then plasma was dead and after kquitapp plasma-desktop & plasma restart it was always dead (the blocking widget was installed)..i had to remove .kde4/ because i didn'tknow how to remove a widget from commandline
Marek: the output from plasma when it had the bug looks identical to output from a bug in kubuntu packages due to a custom patch they had applied. i wonder if Archlinux had picked up the same bad patch?
hm, that's interesting..i'm using kdemod from chakra-project.org will try with 'official' KDE and report back. So do you think I shall report a bug for Arch packing instead of KDE? Best wishes, Marek
only if we can confirm that it's a downstream bug; we did that yesterday with kubuntu, and it's just very suspicious that your problem looks identical. looks can be deceiving, but so far it's the best clue we have.
I reinstalled kubuntu, deleting .kde directory, and on new install it works...
Hi, I think I got this problem here today, running on openSuse 11.1 KDE 4.3; Searching the net I've found some suggestions to uninstall NetworkManager. After uninstalling it the plasma-desktop started to work again. I'm still getting messages, but everything seems to be working: QDBusObjectPath: invalid path "" QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to QWidget "", which already has a layout Invalid D-BUS interface name 'org.kde.plasma-desktop.PlasmaApp' found while parsing introspection The problem of crashing plasma-desktop was solved, but it loosed my desktop (2 folder view widgets) and panel configuration (icons to launch applications). There is any way to recover it?
I can confirm this. I get the same crash and error message with Comment #2. Setting the theme to Oxygen still gives me a crash. Creating a new user allows the creation of the widget just fine. Running Fedora 11 KDE 4.3 RPMs.
I confirm this bug on Mandriva 2009.1, KDE 4.3 RPMs.
Hello, just an update from kde 4.3.1, unfortunately the bugs still persists.
Same problem as Merek. I'm using also Arch64 + KDEmod. When I start X with xinit or startx or KDM the splash screen starts loading and suddenly when I should get my desktop I only get a black screen with a working cursor (themed), the message saying that Plasma Desktop closed unexpectedly. In the background I hear the welcome sound from KDE and nothing happens, only a black screen and my cursor. I have tried other distributions with KDE 4.3: fedora 11, Linux Mint and Sidux and KDE loads correctly and tried a fresh install from Arch64 and it happened again. So I may add that I had the same problem in both plataforms i686 and x86_64 fron Arch. So it might be a distro related problem? Cheers.
As stated before, I removed the "kdemod-networkmanagement" group and the error is gone.
I have similar problems as described in this bug. It first started when trying to fix plasmoid-desktop and then I followed someone's advice to remove some of the plasma files. See the following for details: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=81341&start=10 . Would be nice to get a fix for this...
ping from kde 4.3.2 this bug unfortunately still persists, everything else is great! :)
