I had the same problem and "killall kactivitymanagerd" solved it for me. However, it didn't happen since then which was 2 days ago. It seems like a rare event.
The cause for this is a broken Nepomuk setup. Make sure you have the compatible versions of all needed packages to run Nepomuk properly. I'm leaving this open so that I remember to make it work even on broken setups :)
(In reply to comment #2) > The cause for this is a broken Nepomuk setup. > > Make sure you have the compatible versions of all needed packages to run > Nepomuk properly. What does that mean? I am running a complete kde-4.8.2-setup, soprano-2.7.5, dbus-1.4.20, qt-4.8.1, virtuoso-6.1.4 (anything more, that could be interesting?), and I also get these freezes (plasma-desktop). I use IconTasks (the one shipped with kde since 4.8.0 (?)), and clicking left/middle mouse on an icon freezes the desktop.
I confirm the problem with KDE 4.9 rc2 with Gentoo too. I cannot find anywhere the list of the required packages/versions for Nepomuk. If a dev knows what can be the problem, could he explain it to allow us to correct this bug ?

I can reproduce this in 4.9RC2 as well. When I go to the system settings, disable and then re-enable Nepomuk, it causes kactivitymanagerd to go all the way up to about 100% CPU which then causes Dolphin to freeze when I right click inside the file view bringing this kind dbus timeout messages to .xsession-errors: dolphin(9568) KActivities::Consumer::listActivities: d-bus reply was invalid () QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply", "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.") dolphin(9568) KBookmarkManager::notifyChanged: KBookmarkManager::notifyChanged ( "" ) After a minute or so also Plasma freezes. When debugging for kactivitymanagerd is on, my .xsession-errors also fills with messages like: "/usr/bin/kactivitymanagerd(8912)" Soprano: "Failed to write to fd 11 (Broken pipe)" "/usr/bin/kactivitymanagerd(8912)" Soprano: "Failed to write unsigned int32." Killing frozen Plasma works, but I can't restart it until I have killed and restarted kactivitymanagerd (restarting that alone without killing plasma first also works around the problem). I cannot reproduce the behavior in my Project Neon VM, though.
Still reproducible in 4.9.0 as described in my comment above.
"/usr/bin/kactivitymanagerd(8912)" Soprano: "Failed to write to fd 11 (Broken pipe)" "/usr/bin/kactivitymanagerd(8912)" Soprano: "Failed to write unsigned int32." This implies broken nepomuk/soprano setup. You should contact nepomuk guys (IRC #kde-nepomuk) to debug.
It's actually #nepomuk-kde, but I'll do that.
I know about this problem - Trying to fix it.
I decided to tackle this bug today, and despite my best efforts I could not reproduce it. If someone can reproduce is, could they please provide me with the full backtrace? The backtrace that has been attached only has information about one thread. This should do the trick - > attach <pid> > thread apply all backtrace > detach <pid> Thanks
Backtrace of what? BTW you won't probably notice anything after restarting Nepomuk until you open a Dolphin window and right click somewhere in the file view. I can reproduce this here reliably 100% of the time.
(In reply to comment #11) > Backtrace of what? In your case dolphin. > BTW you won't probably notice anything after restarting Nepomuk until you > open a Dolphin window and right click somewhere in the file view. > > I can reproduce this here reliably 100% of the time. This is what I've been doing - 1. Start Nepomuk 2. Start dolphin/krunner/kactivitymangaerd 3. Switch of Nepomuk 4. Use th specified application, and wait for it to go mad. How are you going about it?
Stupid question: how do I get a backtrace of a program that is not crashing? I started it with gdb, but I only get some debug messages (when turning them one using kdebugdialog). When I start Dolphin I get: Starting program: /usr/bin/dolphin [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".

You get the pid of the process by `pidof dolphin`. Or you can use ps aux | grep dolphin. Once you have that you run $gdb attach <pid> thread apply all backtrace detach <pid> That should give you the backtrace.

There were two overlapping problems here: 1. Soprano::ClientConnection::isConnected() does not, in fact, check whether a socket is connected, merely whether is has been successfully connected in the past. So when nepomuk is shut down, the resource manager still (falsely) claims it has a valid connection to the server and if anyone tries to write to it, will crash, which is what is happening. Reviews https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/107283/ and https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/107285/ fix this problem by explicitly marking the socket as disconnected when the resourcemanager gets the nepomukstopped signal. One patch is to nepomuk-core and one to kdelibs. 2. kactivities was testing for the presence of nepomuk by watching for ownership changes to its dbus service. The resourcemanager listens to a specific dbus signal before configuring itself, so the dbus service ownership change will always occur before resourcemanager reconnects to the new nepomuk socket and declares itself ready. This means that kactivities will try to write to the old socket, which no longer exists. https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/107290/ changes kactivities to listen to the "ready" signal from resourcemanager, avoiding this problem. Although any one of these patches will fix this specific bug, unless all three are applied, specific corner cases will still fail. Particularly both the kdelibs and nepomuk-core patches are needed, even in 4.10, because of the new kFileMetaDataWidget, which depends on nepomuk from kdelibs, thus making dolphin link to kdelibs' nepomuk.
Git commit 436b31deabd46f3ccd8fa0b7d6ac03e1bcac2948 by Simeon Bird. Committed on 10/11/2012 at 04:47. Pushed by sbird into branch 'KDE/4.9'. Manually disconnect the socket connection to nepomuk in the resourcemanager when the socket is remote disconnected. This is needed because the Soprano method isConnected() does not actually check whether the socket is connected or not.
