Public bug reported:
My PC has a bt878 based TV card. When I run KDETV mostly things are OK.
I can switch channels and close the application at will.
However sometimes the application refuses to close or when it closes I
still hear the TV audio playing. Generally this implies that the KDETV
is not stopped properly. However when I do a ps -ax to find the KDETV
application the command does not complete and hangs halfway through its
output. The ps -ax does not respond to CTRL-C and the only thing you
can do is close the konsole in which it was started.
This causes more problems later on when I want to shutdown the system as
the shutdown procedure wants to kill running processes by issuing a ps
to find them. As a consequence I generally need to hard-powerdown my
PC.
This situation does also occur in the edgy version but I have the
impression, less frequently.
