Version: (using KDE 4.4.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Slackware Packages First of all, thanks for the fantastic work of KDE SC 4.4.0. I always used Kontact with the Mail plugin enabled by default. In that way, it usually worked as advertised (mostly). However, yesterday I configured Kontact to use the Summary plugin by default. After that, invoking Kontact produced the summary view; but it was completely unresponsive. Per my configuration, Kontact also produced my Akregator and KMail tray icons with the unread elements, and checked my feeds; but no user input was possible. I could not change plugins (e.g., for reading my mail), or anything else. The only way out was killing the window (either via kwin or by the old-fashioned ps aux | grep kontact and then kill -9 the relevant processes). This is, obviously, a non-acceptable behavior. I am using Slackware packages prepared by Eric Hameleers, one of the members of the Slackware staff, under Slackware-current, in a laptop with 512 MB of RAM and a Celeron M processor. The Qt version is qt-copy from the kde.org website, version 4.6.1 with KDE.org patches. The relevant KDE SC packages I am using are described here: http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/its-been-released-kde-sc-4-4-0/ I would appreciate any help regarding this issue. Regards, Eduardo Sánchez Member, KDE-ES l10n team http://es.l10n.kde.org/asignaciones.php
Plugins available in my configuration: Summary - Mail - Address Book - To do List - Akregator - Journal - Notebooks - Popup Notes.
Same problem here with Ubuntu Lucid and kontact of KDE 4.4.1.
Kontact ist reacting on dbus queries like: qdbus org.kde.kontact /kontact/MainWindow_1 but not to any mouse action like switching app like mail oder organizer.
Disabling the summary plugin in .kde/share/config/kontactrc makes kontact start for me again.

Same for me with Gentoo and KDE version 4.4.4.
(In reply to comment #8) > Same for me with Gentoo and KDE version 4.4.4. Some more information in my case. 1) Kontact also becomes unresponsive if I start with a different plugin and then switch to the summary plugin later. 2) For me it works, if I disable the new/unread mail summary. Then I can use the summary plugin again.
Kubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 KDE 4.4.5 2.6.32-24-generic i686 (32 bit) Fresh installation on July 31, 2010. System fully updated (dist-upgrade). I was also experiencing this problem when clicking on the Summary plugin in Kontact. Kontact would 'freeze' and all I could do was click on the x button (upper right) to close the application. I would get a Kwin pop-up that contained: The window "Mail - Kontact" is not responding. It belongs to the application kontact (process ID = xxxx, hostname = localhost). Do you wish to terminate the application process [i]including all of its child windows? Any unsaved data will be lost. I found, by Google searching, that the problem was with the SpecialDates plugin in Kontact. That by disabling it (un-checking it) the Summary plugin no longer causes Kontact to freeze when you click on it.
I can confirm this bug also. KDE 4.5.1, openSuSE 11.3 GM Selecting Summary in Kontact causes Nepomuk server to go to 100% "forever" and Kontact/Summary will wait until the cows come home.
Does disabling the "Special Dates" module solve the issue ? in the kontact settings, click on "Summaries" and uncheck the "Special Dates" box or directly in the config file (make sure Kontact is not running): edit ~/.kde/share/config/kontact_summaryrc and delete all the occurences of 'kontact_specialdatesplugin' you find, save, run kontact

> Does disabling the "Special Dates" module solve the issue? Yes, it does. Strange observation: 1) If I disable the "Special Dates" module, it works in any case. 2) If I enable the "Special Dates" module and disable any other plug-in, Kontakt freezes if I start with the summary view. But I can safely start Kontakt in a different component and switch to the summary view without freezing Kontakt. 3) If I enable the "Special Dates" module and some other other modules, too, Kontakt freezes no matter whether I start with the summary view or I switch to the summary view later.
(In reply to comment #12) > Does disabling the "Special Dates" module solve the issue ? For me (Kontact 4.4.9, KDE 4.4.5, Gentoo), disabling just "Special Dates" made in freeze (with the clock mouse icon) after clicking on the summary icon and before the summary was even displayed. I did the following tests: - Showing no summaries at all works for me. - "Clock icon" freeze if only the following is checked: - Todo, Planner and Special Dates - Todo (one overdue item, dunno if that's important) - Planner, Special Dates, Calendar, Mail and Popup Notes - Works with only the following checked: - Calendar, Mail and Popup Notes - Special Dates - Planner The next test, only the planner also led to a freeze, which leads me to the conclusion that this looks like a somewhat nondeterministic bug...

This bug has never been confirmed for a KDE PIM version that is based on KDE Frameworks, except possibly a Technology Preview version 5.0.x. Those Framework-based versions differ significantly from the old 4.x series. Therefore, I plan to close it in around two or three months. In the meantime, it is set to WAITINGFORINFO to give reporters the opportunity to check if it is still valid. As soon as someone confirms it for a recent version (at least 5.1, ideally even more recent), I'll gladly reopen it. Please understand that we lack the manpower to triage bugs reported for versions almost two years beyond their end of life.
