KrArc freezes, both in Krusader and Dolphin

SUMMARY
***
KrArc freezes, both in Krusader and Dolphin when I try to open a ZIP file. This applies for any ZIP file. I have not found any information in logs.
I have tried to reset Krusader settings (still the same issue), reinstall Krusader, etc.
***

OBSERVED RESULT
Please see the attached picture with both screenshots from Krusader and Dolphin.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. click on ZIP file
2. wait forever :-)

Comment 8 Toni Asensi Esteve 2022-07-30 18:27:13 UTC
I tried it (using the git version of Krusader, under Kubuntu 22.04) and no problem was seen. If you can follow the steps of
    https://commits.kde.org/krusader?path=INSTALL
then you can build the git version of Krusader, use its latest features, etc. 
If you have been able to do it, is your problem solved?
Comment 9 Grósz Dániel 2022-07-30 19:41:28 UTC
Indeed, if I compile the latest master (fc69c9fa), it works. If I compile 2.7.2 (released in 2019) from source, it freezes. However, it only broke a few weeks ago in several distributions. So I guess some library has changed in an incompatible way.

Comment 11 Toni Asensi Esteve 2022-08-15 21:27:53 UTC
Thanks, Dániel for changing the status of this bug report (and, before that, writing some important information).

As it seems that it's not a bug of Krusader (because the problem doesn't happen using the latest code of Krusader), I'm going to mark this bug as "RESOLVED - NOT A BUG". Anyway, please feel free to write in this bug report if you think it's necessary.
Comment 12 Grósz Dániel 2022-08-15 21:36:53 UTC
If you have time, it would be a good idea to release a new version of Krusader soon, or figure out the cause of the problem and backport the fix, or perhaps backport the current krarc implementation to the stable Krusader, or instruct packagers about what library version to require.
Comment 13 neo2001 2022-08-16 12:18:35 UTC
I too have switched to the developer version (using the krusader-git package from the Arch AUR) and can confirm, that opening ZIP archives works in that version just fine.

Hi, I have compiled 2.8.0 dev (kubuntu 22.04, kde 5.25.4, qt 5.15.3) and the problem is still there. :-(

The problem is there when installing into usr folder, when installing to another folder like opt/krusader, all is OK with 2.8.0-dev

FROM:
cmake ../krusader -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/ -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O2 -fPIC" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-O2 -fPIC"
TO:
cmake ../krusader -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/krusader -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O2 -fPIC" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-O2 -fPIC"

So, it is OK with version 2.8.0-dev

But when testing I encounter other problems, such as not being able to write to the existing zip, etc.
Comment 18 Jan 2022-08-27 15:43:13 UTC
When opening a file which is inside ZIP in krusader, e.g. because of editing, then it is not possible to save modifications because of "Writing to zip is not supported". This does not happen in Dolphin (which uses Ark to display files inside ZIP), or any other file manager like Double Commander, etc.

Enable write support (krarc ioslave) is enabled in krusader, latest version installed 2.8.0-dev

Hi,

IMHO this is a wrong resolution of this bug and unacceptable from a point of normal Krusader user. You can't expect from users without knowledge of compiling programs to build their own Krusader version and you also can't expect them to use the broken version for years before 2.8.0 finally releases. I think this bug should stay open until 2.8.0 is released or fix is backported into stable.

Best regards,
Andrej

I agree!

Is there any information about *why* this happens? Unfortunately there wasn't any error or log message (I know of). Shouldn't there be some kind of info, warning or error messages when a function like this is called (and) fails?

That is not an acceptable fix or even workaround. I cannot ship that in distribution packages, those MUST be installed to /usr.

I suspect that something is invoking a wrong executable, from kdelibs 4 or even 3, see, e.g., bug #386859 for a similar issue.
Comment 22 Kevin Kofler 2022-09-30 16:18:28 UTC
According to strace, it runs /usr/libexec/kf5/kioslave5 correctly, with /usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/kio_krarc.so, so the paths seem all right. I guess I need to strace the kioslave5 process next.
Comment 23 Kevin Kofler 2022-09-30 16:32:42 UTC
As far as I can tell, the kioslave5 process crashes on startup when using kio_krarc, which is why it looks unresponsive to Krusader.
Comment 24 Kevin Kofler 2022-09-30 16:40:45 UTC
Using this to debug further:
strace -f kioclient5 ls krarc:/path/to/archive.7z/ 2>&1 | less
I get the same hanging behavior as in Krusader, and indeed, as I suspected, the kioslave5 child process is segfaulting:
[pid 45454] --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0x8} ---

CCing the author of the pinpointed commit (David Faure).
Comment 27 Kevin Kofler 2022-11-01 01:52:21 UTC
Ping? Can somebody please look at this regression? We have already pinpointed the offending commit, I have even posted a suggested fix that just needs testing as a comment to that commit. It looks like this should be a really easy fix.
Comment 28 Adam 2022-11-13 14:51:09 UTC
I am on Arch Linux and I tried krusader-git package from AUR. Git version does not have this issue, I can browse archives like before.

It seems there is planned release of 2.8.0 in a week from now (Nov 20): https://invent.kde.org/utilities/krusader/-/merge_requests/110

So I guess this bug is solved some time between 2.7.2 release and now.
Comment 29 Andrej M. 2022-12-25 20:40:04 UTC
The official 2.8.0 release is out and it fixes the problem for me:

Krusader: 2.8.0
Operating System: Manjaro

Thanks to everyone involved in the release.

Best regards,
Andrej
