Description Stefan Seide 2009-09-02 21:08:19 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

On startup of kontakt akregator shows an error message:
==
Die Standardliste der Nachrichtenquellen ist beschädigt (ungültiges XML). 
Eine Sicherung wurde angelegt:
/home/stefan/.kde/share/apps/akregator/data//feeds.opml-backup.1251829929

The feeds.opml in question misses a closing <outline> Tag. The first <outline isOpen="false"...> is never closed:

==
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<opml version="1.0" >
<head>
<text></text>
</head>
<body>
<outline isOpen="false" id="1458452139" text="KDE" >
<outline htmlUrl="http://akregator.sf.net/" title="Akregator Neuigkeiten" useCustomFetchInterval="false" maxArticleAge="0" fetchInterval="0" maxArticleNumber="0" archiveMode="globalDefault" version="RSS" type="rss" xmlUrl="http://akregator.sf.net/rss2.php" id="645095764" text="Akregator Neuigkeiten" description="Akregator Feed Reader" />
<..some more outline with htmlUrl.../>
</body>
</opml>

This malformed XML gets created (at least it seems so) when shuting down the system (KDE-Menu -> Shutdown) while kontakt is running. At the last use the feeds.xml was correct and no changes were done to the feed list. Akregator was not used at all (except being started through kontakt).

But i am not really shure about it - plasma crashes many times a session, often taking down the entire system (system reboot or complete hungup) deleting my entire settings (desktop, kmail,...) from time to time. Maybe it is connected with these errors... The feeds.opml problem occured 3 times over the last month.

Regards,
Stefan

I have (since weeks) the same problem. I use akregator on my notebook. In the situation of suspend + power lost i have a 50-50 chance that akregator didnt lost all settings and rss-sources.

Ubuntu 12.04
FS: XFS

Thank you for the feedback.
Comment 5 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 19:45:27 UTC
This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of akregator (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 6 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:07:04 UTC
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
