Description Rémi Denis-Courmont 2010-04-15 22:00:48 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
Compiler:          GCC 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The Kfile plugin for Qt4 triggers registration of the destructor for the global static KIOScheduler, if the Qt4 open dialog is invoked (from a Qt4 but non-KDE application).

This causes a crash at exit, while glibc runs the exit handlers. Apparently, ~KIOScheduler tries to use QDBus (which is already deinitialized).

Ubuntu apport has recorded many occurence of this issue here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/408719
Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2010-08-08 23:11:18 UTC
KDE SC 4.5 has a completely new implementation of the KIO scheduler (see http://websvn.kde.org/?revision=1075343&view=revision for the changes). Could you check if this fixed the VLC issue?
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2010-08-27 01:44:31 UTC
If you can provide the information requested in comment #1, please add them to this bug report.
Comment 3 Rémi Denis-Courmont 2010-11-04 18:26:34 UTC
I tried with KDE 4.5.1 as provided in Kubuntu 10.10, and I still get the exact same crash in QDBus from ~KIOScheduler from the exit handlers.
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2010-11-29 03:48:25 UTC
It would be nice if you could provide an updated backtrace, because the old backtrace from comment #0 contains references to code that is no longer present.
Comment 5 Rémi Denis-Courmont 2010-12-14 01:35:56 UTC
With KDE 4.5.1, I get this:

Can you provide an efficient way of reproduce this bug and a valgrind trace?

Thanks.

I just start VLC, go to Media / Open file, cancel and then Media / Quit.
This assumes the libkde.so GUI platform for Qt is active.
Comment 8 Alex Fiestas 2011-01-31 23:11:44 UTC
I'm trying to reproduce this bug, within a full KDE session and in fluxbox, and so far I can't :/ can you provide more details about your environment?

maybe an "env" output could provide some hints.
Thanks.
Comment 9 nucleo 2011-02-05 02:44:49 UTC
I can confirm VLC 1.1.7 crash on exit in KDE 4.6.0

Comment 10 nucleo 2011-02-05 03:07:12 UTC
(In reply to comment #8)
I can reproduce crash with this steps:
1. Start vlc.
2. Press Ctrl+O and then Cancel.
3. Close vlc window.

You got that backwards. It is not KIO::Scheduler that attemtps to use QDBus, it is QDBus that attempts to access an already destroyed object which should not happen at all. 

Besides the backtraces that show otherwise, if you simply defer the deletion of the scheduler object using "q->deleteLater()" instead "delete q" in ~SchedulerPrivate, you would see that the crash goes away. As such the problem is upstream in QtDBus and friends. So long as a class register itself with QDBus, it will crash when accessed in the same manner as one that happens through VLC.

For those interested in testing the workaround patch for this crash can be found at https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/100577.

The reason that workaround is not committed is because Thiago said stated that he wanted to look into the cause of this problem. See http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=129693527318658&w=2

workaround patch...

Here is Thiago's response:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=130268229205730&w=2

Since this is not a KDE issue and I rather avoid committing workarounds for bugs that are not KDE's fault, even when they cause crash, I have attached the workaround patch for those that want to apply it with Qt 4.7 and whatever the recent version of VLC is (v1.1.9 for me).

From the bt I see what:
- QT call (QFileDialog::getSaveFileName()) to KDE4 the file name select plugin through qOverride mechanism where been create KIO::Scheduler::Scheduler() object.
- Next, on finish, QT objects have been full free by delete QApplication().
- Next, QT-module of the program have been unlinked by dlclose().
- And after all that we have crash on freeing try for IO::Scheduler::Scheduler() which should be removed together with all QT infrastructure freeing by QApplication() delete.

Who must be remove KIO::Scheduler::Scheduler()?

P.S. And other bug. KDE4 override file dialog, from QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(), have not been localized and the warning have place on start:
KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid
main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to
call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should
not do that since it most likely will not work

At that time QColorDialog KDE4 override dialog work fine and full localized!

I have no idea how you see any of that from the back trace snippet you posted, but as it has already been stated the original issue reported here is not a KDE bug. See comments #12 and #13 ; especially the link given in comment 13.

Please do not mix unrelated bug reports. You are free to open another ticket for this issue if one already does not exist for it.

Hi all,

I reported this bug here and here:

* https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/5148#comment:1

Was it reported to the Qt developers?

Regards,

-- Shlomi Fish
Comment 20 Danny Smit 2011-08-03 09:59:58 UTC
A possible similiar issue has been reported to the Qt developers, which also cores at "QDBusAdaptorConnector::relaySlot" as a result of a cross-thread delete of QDBusAbstractAdaptor. See the stacktrace.log at the bugreport: https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-18205

Might be the same issue.
Comment 21 Thiago Macieira 2011-08-03 12:53:33 UTC
I don't think it's the same issue, even though the stack traces end in the same function. The root causes for the problems are different.

And QTBUG-18205 is invalid because of an earlier error in the application: you cannot delete an object from outside its thread.
Comment 22 Christoph Feck 2011-09-15 18:11:14 UTC
Fixed in Qt 4.8, according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdelibs/+bug/408719/comments/21
Comment 23 Christoph Feck 2011-12-21 14:43:42 UTC
Using VLC 1.1.12 on KDE 4.8rc1 with Qt 4.8.0, I can still reproduce the crash with the steps provided in comment #10, so it either is still not fixed in Qt 4.8, or the fix did not affect KDE.

Is there a link to an open Qt bug?

Nope, but there is always the workaround patch I provided in comment #12 that defers the deletion of all static objects that register themselves with QDBusConnection. 

It fixes the problem, but it does not really address the question why QDBusConnection attempts to access an already deleted object. Perhaps this is the result of the fact that all these objects that cause such crashes are static objects ? Anyways, unregistering the object from the QDBusConnection before deletion does not help either ; so the issue remains an upstream issue until someone can show otherwise.

It seems, the problem is still not resolved upstream. I observe Vlc 2.1.3 crash on exit with very similar symptoms each time.
