Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.3.1) OS: Linux What I was doing when the application crashed: dolphin crashed suddenly tryng to opening a standard folder, Documents or any other. It happens aleatory, sometimes dolphin works as expected and sometimes crashes. Opensuse 11.1 x86-64 is already clean installed in the computer. Reproducible: Didn't try
Please provide the backtrace of the crash. For more information, see http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
I open dolphin and doing nothing else. Then i wait some time. Dolhin crashes and the error report shows unresolved debug information in libdbus. Just to check, could this issue be related with Nepomuk integration? (so far this Qt-dbus crash only affected Dolphin, and I don't recall about other component which could use dbus...)
This could be related to with an issue in the D-Bus library which has been reported already. It is fixed in D-Bus 1.3.1 and later: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-7475 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17754 If you cannot update to D-Bus 1.3.1 or later, you can disable tool tips and the Information Panel as a workaround. But it's difficult to say without backtrace...
Dolphin was crashing all of the time. Sometimes in a matter of seconds, other times after a few minutes. This renders dophin practically unusable. It seems more often with remote protocols like fish or smb. Having read the above post I disabled Nepomuk and voila - the crashes are all gone. I don't use nepomuk anyway and a terminal could be just as useful for me but Nepomuk comes enabled by default and this could be quite frustrating especially for a new user.
Dolphin just crashed two times in a row. About 5 seconds after I opened a video file (in VLC). The third time it didn't, because I killed Nepomuk. Unfortunately there is no dbus debug package in debian, but maybe this can help you anyway. Application that crashed: dolphin Version of the application: 1.3 KDE Version: 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2) Qt Version: 4.5.3 Operating System: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 x86_64 Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux testing (squeeze)
I finally found the solution regarding this problem. It was a path problem. Once the files moved to the right places, it works.
If the crash is indeed happening in D-Bus, then it is very likely a duplicate of bug 208921. If unsure, you can add an incomplete backtrace (which is better than none). For openSUSE 11.1 there is an update to D-Bus 1.4.0 available. You might additionally try KDE 4.5.2, as it has more fixes in Dolphin and Nepomuk integration. Please follow http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:KDE for more information.
These issues all seem related to either Nepomuk or D-Bus. The D-Bus bug has since been fixed, and Nepomuk is no longer in use. Closing.
