Package: kdetv
Version: 0.8.9-1
I have tested kdetv for more than 5 months now. It have been useful to
listen/watch tv while doing other tasks on my computer. it uses less
resources (cpu time) than TVtime, probably because of using V4l v2. I have
been trying many of its configurations/options but finally i am compelled to
write this report because of it crashing my computer.
The most common cause for it to crash is: if one user has it running, when
another user start it on its desktop, the application crashes for good.
Another situation in wich it crashes is: if for any reason the desktop is
closed with this application running, the desktop will try to start it at
start-up time. Almost all the time it crashes.
No errors reported.
No dmesg messages
No crash report.
Weird already, no? wait a little bit it gets better!
The crashed application should be abble to be restarted, reopened, you may
think. Wrong, dead wrong.
The most anoying thing, and what is really PITA, is that is just locks in
memory and there is nothing that could be done to clear it. One shure way to
detect this is happening is that a simple "ps -aux" command just locks in
also. It lists to some point and then just stops.
When in this situation no kill, skill, kill -9 works or even reboot FAILS.
Pull the plug is the only corrective action allowed.
An application that forces you to use the power button must be inaceptable.
I have filed a bug report in kde.bugs.list to no avail. It has been confirmed
by Jan-Albert van Ree in that list.
would you please give at least some guidance to what other tings could i do,
check, report, modify..........
thanks
