The KDE crash panel complains that it cannot create a valid backtrace, but it managed to come up with this:
Code:
#0  0x715c8b50 in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
#1  0x70898218 in KCrash::defaultCrashHandler ()
   from /usr/kde/3.3/lib/libkdecore.so.4

#3  0x715c7854 in __pthread_clock_settime () from /lib/libpthread.so.0


Let's see if I can find out why the crash panel cannot make a valid backtrace.


I have got the same problem on a Ultra-Sparc-60 with 2x450MHz, a gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.10 and a kde 3.3.2

Did somebody try to compile and run KDE with debug-symbols ?

I'm just wondering, are all of you having problems on SMP boxes or
are any of them single processor machines? The problem seems to have
something to do with the clock and threading and I'm wondering if it's because
code that is not really thread safe, but acts like it is on a single cpu system,
is used in the kicker somewhere.

I have sparc u30 with uni processor, so I think there is no connection to SMP kernel.

Well, after the latest qt upgrade (3.3.4 over 3.3.3), kicker now crashes on my e450 as well. I'm trying to back up to 3.3.3 to see if that corrects the situation. If not, maybe the issue lies with gcc?

Downgrading qt did not help at all... maybe its time to compile qt and kde with all the debugging options enabled/

I added the USE flags "debug kdeenablefinal" and re-emerged
x11-libs/qt-3.3.4-r2
kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2-r2
kde-base/kdebase-3.3.2-r1

and now kicker is working again!

If anyone wants a binary package of these 3, I can put it up someplace.

Unfortunately, after following your instructions, kicker still crashes on my Ultra2.
Very Sad. I gave up and deleted all traces of kde from my system. I will try again
in a few months. Hopefully I can get some semblance of sound support working in
the meantime. I'd also like to get openoffice to work one of these days, it always
fails during compiling saying that the java VM detected an error in the external
code.

I had exactly the same issue on my Ultra 10. Bug soup at best. KDE is definetly problematic on Sparc. I messed around with it for over a month before giving up and loading up Black Box as a alternative.

I don't know a ton about desktops, but is there another full featured desktop similar to KDE that actually runs on a sparc?

Thanks,

i-right-i

Have just successfully compiled and installed KDE 3.4.0 on a few SPARC64 machines (Ultra 5 / Ultra 10) using gcc-3.3.5 and the kicker crash is now officially a non-issue.

My suggestion is to upgrade to 3.4.0

Did an "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~sparc emerge kde" and I also have the kicker problem, so it's no quite resolved yet :)

I tried Weeve's suggestion to disable the sound system in KDE: kicker still crashes.
I also tried to disable the applets on the kicker in $HOME/.kde/share/config/kickerrc, but there were no applets listed there.

Should I try to install a kernel from the 2.6.x branch? I heard that Weeve did not have this problem then...

"ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~sparc emerge kde" did the trick for me.

I ought to have specified that we're using 2.6.10-r6 and 2.6.11-r4 kernels (in instances where the kicker crash problem has been resolved running kde 3.4.0)

Kicker still crashes on my Sun Netra T1125 when switching from 2.4.x to 2.6.x. This is the same motherboard as the Ultra 60 if I'm correct.

I spent all this time upgrading kde to 3.4 and the problem is still there. The only new development is you can almost see the panel start to appear before it dies.




The question stands.


Is there anyone out there with an Ultra60 that can run kde 3.3 or kde 3.4? What kernel do you use? If its 2.6, how did you get the mouse to work.

im so annoyed

Every applet seems to work fine except for the clock applet, it may be causing the problem as i posted in the chatroom and bug #77623.



I have tested every applet individually and they all work except for one..

The clock applet... see snipplet>

bash-2.05b# appletproxy /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/kicker/applets/clockapplet.desktop
kdecore (KConfigSkeleton): Creating KConfigSkeleton
(0x141cf0)
kdecore (KConfigSkeleton):
KConfigSkeleton::readConfig()
Bus error
bash-2.05b#

I have the strace for the clock applet but it is really big. Where should i post it.

I get the exact same results as squash: recompiling qt, kdelibs, and kdebase with USE="debug kdeenablefinal" did the trick. I now have a working kicker.

[EDIT:] But, alas, my lowercase B key aint workin .. heh

For giggles, I figured I'd start recompiling the three of those without USE="debug"

Results:

After compiling qt with debugging off, I now have the return of the kicker crashing scenario.

(hmm)


[EDIT:] had to put 'b'-s in there ..

Okie dokie. I recompiled QT again. This time, I didn't reintroduce the DEBUG flag, I just changed C(XX)FLAGS from:

Code:
-O2 -mcpu=ultrapsarc -pipe


to

Code:
-O -pipe


Kicker works. This is making me wonder if we have a GCC issue going on here.

I've recompiled qt with C(XX)FLAGS"-O2 -pipe" and all three qt, kdeliBs, kdeBase with USE="-deBug -kdeenaBlefinal" .. and .. still have a working kicker.

Seems that the whole issue revolves around compiling QT with the -mcpu=ultrapsarc flag. So for a working kicker, all you have to do is recompile QT without the -mcpu flag, and you're good to go.

I'm not sure yet if lesser values of -mcpu work yet, But it does seem to me that the qt eBuild should Be masking at the very least -mcpu=ultrasparc.

What if you try -mtune=ultrasparc instead of -mcpu=ultrasparc?
