New issue 925 by [email protected]: Can not resrart ibus-daemon from
panel if the ibus-daemon executable has been replaced
http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=925
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OS (Linux distributions, UNIX or ...): Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)
Architecture (i386, x86_64): x86_64
IBus version: git tot
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install ibus, e.g. % sudo dpkg -i ibus_1.2.0.20100130-1~ppa1_amd64.deb
2. Start ibus-daemon: % ibus-daemon
3. Reinstall ibus: % sudo dpkg -i ibus_1.2.0.20100130-1~ppa1_amd64.deb
to overwrite /usr/bin/ibus-daemon with the new one, though the new file
is identical to the old one.
4. Click the ibus-daemon icon in systray and click "Restart."
What is the expected output?
ibus-daemon restarts. The systray icon shows up again in a few seconds.
What do you see instead?
ibus-daemon just exits. It does not start.
Please provide any additional information below.
AFAIK, readlink /proc/[pid]/exe returns a path with " (deleted)" suffix if
the executable file for the process is already removed or replaced:
% pgrep ibus-daemon
19684
% readlink /proc/19684/exe
/usr/bin/ibus-daemon
# cp -p /usr/bin/ibus-daemon /tmp
# cp -fp /tmp/ibus-daemon /usr/bin/ # overwrite the binary
% readlink /proc/19684/exe
/usr/bin/ibus-daemon (deleted)
I think it'd be nice if bus/ibusimpl.c could handle such case correctly.
Attached a tiny patch.
