--- Comment #39 from Juliano F. Ravasi <bugs+kde juliano info> 2011-04-15 20:44:02 --- (In reply to comment #37) > the fix will be in 4.6.3. Ask your distribution to backport this commit to > their 4.6.2 packages Christophe, thanks for your suggestion. I don't want to sound ungrateful or harsh, but I asked what causes the incidence to be 0 (null) in the code. I'm well aware that I can ask the backport of this commit to my distribution, and it was not what I asked. I already went through this path before and from my experience this will take a few weeks to get processed at best (perhaps a month when 4.6.3 will be going out). And due to this very reason, they may just ignore or reject the request as unimportant, since this seems to only affect a few users. But this bug affects me now, and I'm willing to do something to fix my problem now. I want to know what is causing this situation on my configuration, because I presume there is something I can do to fix it on my side to avoid the code path that is causing the bug. It is certainly something that doesn't affect many users and has a very specific trigger, otherwise KDE developers themselves wouldn't release two versions (4.6.0 and 4.6.2) with so blatant crashes. I also verified with a new user (with a blank KDE profile) that the crash doesn't happen. So there is certainly something in my KDE configuration, something among the 56,280 files and directories residing inside my ~/.kde/ directory (that are accumulating since KDE 2.0), that triggers this for me (and a few other users who also reported this issue). I already straced plasma-desktop and the file accesses before the crash don't tell much. Instead of shooting in the dark I would like to ask the developers watching this report, who are much more familiar with KDE internals, what may be causing this situation. And take this opportunity to clean up some of the cruft accumulating in my configuration and in my ~/.kde/ . -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
