Public bug reported: When I updgrade to feisty (from edgy), I noticed that kde applications did not work anymore (I am using gnome as a DE, but sometimes use kde applications, mainly kdevelop/kcachegrind). I for example try to launch konqueror from the command line, and I get first a X error: "X error BadDevice , invalid or uninitialized input device 155 Major opcode: 144 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0 Failed to open device" and then nothing happens (no cpu taken, the application still running, but no window opens).
Suspecting the problem to be caused by something different, I ran the application under strace, and noticed that the app fails when opening a lock file in my home directory, which is on a NFS server: open("/home/david/.qt/.qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0600) = 12 fcntl64(12, F_SETLKW64, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0} Changing the qt dir to something on my local filesystem solved the problem. ** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- kde applications blocked when home dir on nfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
