I couldn't find anything in the logs either, but as we both experienced it after a recent update, I had a look at /var/log/apt/history.log and checked for "suspicious" packages. I tried libc6 and libc-bin first, since you mentioned them as the only packages being updated, but downgrading them didn't help.

Status of Qt 5.5?
Hi, I'm wondering what's the status of Qt 5.5 (in experimental). I'm suffering badly from bug https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-42985 where all kinds of applications crash when changing the monitor setup (use notebook standalone or in dock with external monitors). The crashing applications include plasmashell and kwin, making it particularly annoying. The behavior is supposed to be better with Qt 5.5, but installing that from experimental would remove plasma-desktop, plasma-workspace, sddm and a few other packages. Thanks, Carsten

And now imagine something goes wrong in one build job, e.g. you have a deadlock in your testcase, because a modal dialog pops up or whatever. If you can't reproduce the problem locally, you log into the buildserver and run the same build, but redirect the output to your own local display. Or you create a screenshot of the virtual display with xwd, so that you can have a peek into what's happening in there. I hope that Wayland has a solution for this.

So there's no difference to the logfiles in /var/log. That doesn't legitimate apps to produce so many log entries, though. Why is Debian's KDE so verbose? Is it a concious decision by KDE and individual users are expected to use kdebugdialog if they don't like it? Is there a system wide setting so the admin of a multi-user box can set the debug/warn/error messaging behaviour for everyone? Is Debian neglecting to set a flag somewhere which would quiet things down? Should we be talking to the developers of individual apps because it is not really a KDE problem? I have no idea what Debian's policy is, so I can only pass my very own opinion. Apps and libs should be as quiet as possible by default. They should only log assertion failures, i.e. critical problems. It should be possible to launch an app in a terminal (in the background) and keep working in the same terminal. Everything other than critical problems should be made available on demand, e.g. through kdebugdialog. Cheers, Carsten signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Imlib1 to be removed (was: Kuickshow replacement in KDE 4.2.2)
Hi, so far I haven't had a need to port away from Imlib1. Imlib was the fastest image loading and rendering library and it works just fine. Despite the name, Imlib2 is *not* a successor of Imlib1, it is a completely different thing with a different (incompatible) feature set. And even Imlib2 is slower than Imlib2 (I did port KuickShow to Imlib2 to test it, years ago). I'll run some benchmarks to see if e.g. Qt's image io has been improved, but I'd be surprised if it was as fast as Imlib1. What's actually the reason to remove Imlib1 (and can the removal be stopped)? Cheers, Carsten signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Imlib1 vs. Imlib2
Hi, I am the author of KuickShow, which uses Imlib1 for decoding and rendering images. Imlib1 is doing a fantastic job at that -- I haven't found a single other library that is as fast as Imlib1. I've got some arguments against the removal of Imlib1: 1) Imlib2 is not a replacement for Imlib1. At least last I checked, the functionality differed quite a lot. In other words, Imlib2 doesn't provide the functionality that KuickShow uses from Imlib1. 2) Imlib2 is actually slower in image decoding and rendering, at least in those cases that KuickShow is concerned with. 3) Imlib1 is available as GDK and plain Xlib variant. KuickShow uses the plain Xlib variant, so the removal of GTK1.2 should not necessarily remove the Xlib variant of Imlib1. What about stripping the GDK bits from Imlib1 and keep on providing the Xlib variant? Thanks, Carsten signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

That's quite an accurate description of the situation :-} Just yesterday I found a little time for it, and the current version in svn works OK for me. The toolbar is still messed up and there are some other minor buglets, but the main functionality is there (and stable AFAICS). If it's kind of usable, and I don't have any problems with dependencies, I will see if at least I can do a quick and dirty package, although it's been ages since I did a Debian package, so no promises. :-( That would be great. I'm trying to get it into the state of usefulness and stability of the KDE 3.5 version ASAP, and I'd be very happy if someone could provide a package of it. FWIW, there's a bugreport about kuickshow for KDE4, which I will close when the KDE4 version is on par with the last KDE3 version. If someone wants to track it, here's the URL: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188539 Cheers, Carsten signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Bug#389993: libqt3-mt: missing focus rectangle for QIconView items
Package: libqt3-mt Version: 3:3.3.6-4 Severity: normal It took me quite a while to figure out why the current item in QIconView is not drawn as such. 11_qt_rubberband.dpatch removes the implementation of QIconViewItem::paintFocus(). Why does it do that? That makes it quite impossible to find the current item in the iconview, when multiple items are selected. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages libqt3-mt depends on: ii fontconfig 2.4.1-2 generic font configuration library ii libaudio2 1.8-2The Network Audio System (NAS).

Unstable's Imlib2 is the same Imlib1 just linked to libpng3 instead of libpng2 and dropped gtk usage. Ah, thanks for explaining this. We now could discuss, if there isn't a more elegant way out and maybe we therefore should consult Steve M. Robbins, debian's imlib maintainer? I'm afraid there isn't.

I've backported imlib2 from unstable which has an increased major number to libImlib-2.0.0 so imlib1 and imlib2 packages can be installed in parallel. I'll provide imlib2 packages with the build so kuickshow works. Imlib1 and Imlib2 are completely different beasts. KuickShow does neither build nor work with Imlib2.
