Package: kde-core Version: 5:45 Severity: important
After using some applications a dcopserver process remains active and prevents logging out from KDE. If the dcopserver process is explicitely killed from a text console, then the logout process continues and the normal login screen appears. Example: Start a KDE session. Start VLC (VideoLAN Client), open an AVI file, play, switch to full screen, switch back then close VLC. A dcopserver process sould remain running. Try to logout from your KDE session. It won't be completed. Switch to a text console (Alt-Ctrl-F2), then kill all dcopserver processes with killall -9 dcopserver (assuming other users are not connected at the same time). Logout will continue. If you try to shutdown your computer instead of logging out, then the unkillable dcopserver renders filesystems unmontable and can cause a long fsck on next startup. RAID arrays cannot be stopped correctly, since they remain used. Poweroff cannot be issued and the machine must be turn off manually. The bug is induced only by a few applications. I can preproduce the problem only with VLC for now, but this could be a more general problem with dcopserver. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-sirius-20051219-0354 Locale: LANG=hu_HU, LC_CTYPE=hu_HU (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages kde-core depends on: ii arts 1.4.3-3 sound system from the official KDE ii fontconfig 2.3.2-1.1 generic font configuration library ii kdebase 4:3.4.3-3 base components from the official ii kdelibs 4:3.4.3-2 core libraries from the official K kde-core recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
