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.
