Now that Qt 4.8.3 (the first upstream Qt version to include this patch) is in Arch Linux, the problem occurs there too. For me, it caused both plasma-desktop and kwin to segfault on startup, thus making KDE almost unusable. (As a temporary measure to prevent these from crashing, I reverted to Qt 4.8.2.) https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31654
There's also an Ubuntu bug report which looks it it might be caused by this patch: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/1045755 This patch actually appears to have originated 2 years ago in the upstream WebKit SVN repository: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/62799 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41641 But it wasn't until August this year that it migrated from WebKit's JavaScriptCore to the copy of JavaScriptCore in the QtScript module of Qt: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtscript/commit/79ebd39d0d4846cb911ae122d2059e5add568d7e http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/commit/ada98493bbfbd9af0d0b593017e29d39bcd3495e https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-23871 Maybe it would be worth reporting the problem to the upstream WebKit developers? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1046244 Title: plasma-desktop crashes with SIGFAULT on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qt/+bug/1046244/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
