When I want to "Save" or "Save AS" a document, Kate always crashes, leaving me with no saved document. This is reproducible. I'm running Linux Mint 3.16.0-38-generic #52~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP. x86_64 VERSION="14.04.3 LTS, Trusty Tahr" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Kate 2. Write some dummy text 3. Click "Save" or "Save As", and it crashes Actual Results: Crash Expected Results: The software should save my document and not crash. I'm running.
Thanks for the report. Without a crash dump it is quite hard to figure out what has gone wrong. Are you able to generate a crash-dump with GDB if drkonqi is not installed/works? gdb /usr/bin/kate run then when Kate crashes type bt and attach the output here
Created attachment 96135 [details] output of gdb hope this is the correct output from gdb.
Thanks for the backtrace From the backtrace I can read that the crash is in the KEncodingFileDialog which has been replaced in newer versions of Kate/KTextEditor. What version of Kate are you using? It looks like it is a KF5 version, but how did you get that on Mint 14.04 which is based on ubuntu 14.04 wich does not have KF5 by default... ;)
Hi. I reported this bug(?) when running Linux Mint 17.2 The back trace is from Mint 17.3. However I did a clean reinstall (wiped my disk) and installed Linux Mint 17.3. And Kate still crashes. Kate is distributed in Mints default software repository. -- $ kate -version Qt: 4.8.6 KDE Development Platform: 4.14.2 Kate: 3.14.2 --- $ cat /etc/issue Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa \n \l -- $ cat /etc/os-release NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="14.04.3 LTS, Trusty Tahr" ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS" VERSION_ID="14.04" HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/" SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/" BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/" --
I read the backtrace wrong. The version is the indeed the KDE 4 version. Unfortunately the backtrace does not contain the debug symbols. Can you install the debug packages for kdelibs and Kate. Now I do not remember the package names, but something with -dbg ;) The crash is in libkio.so and is probably not a Kate specific issue. Are you getting crashes in other KDE applications that use the file-dialog?
I installed the kate-dbg package (+ a lot of depended packages). However, "Save and Save AS" works OK now. I'm not able to reproduce this issue any more. Changes done: - Installed the regular updates from Mint updater. - Installed *-dbg packages for kate and other depended packages. My kate versions are still: $ kate -version Qt: 4.8.6 KDE Development Platform: 4.14.2 Kate: 3.14.2 $ cat /etc/issue Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa \n \l cat /etc/os-release NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="14.04.3 LTS, Trusty Tahr" ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS" VERSION_ID="14.04" HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/" SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/" BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
