[SOLVED] KDE broke after upgrade

individual · n00b Joined: 06 Dec 2006 Posts: 61 Location: Wrocław

Hello.

Same for me. Qt-4.6.0 + KDE-4.3.4 merged after. All kde programs runs fine (in exmaple my konsole starts with every new session of kde) but plasma crashes. I've compiled Qt without "optimized-qmake" firstly and rebuild with it - no changes
I have to check this hal issue - I will inform if it's the cause in my case.

Same problem here (plasma crash on startup) but fixed it downgrading to hal 0.5.13-r2

Downgrading to hal-0.5.13-r2 fixed my plasma-desktop problem as well.

People with 100% kded, emerge --sync and check your world again. My problem seems to have gone away after downgrading to phonon-4.3.80. Everything works great now.

I'm using latest hal, kde and qt, have no crashes but have other problems, like seen here:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-805586-highlight-.html
maybe it's a dbus issue?

I have the same problem and the following in syslog:
kernel: [ 1514.111165] plasma-desktop[6555]: segfault at 8 ip b69d6518 sp bffb5010 error 4 in libQtCore.so.4.6.0[b6849000+27d000]
and
kernel: [ 113.172763] kded4[4392]: segfault at 8 ip b6d86e78 sp bfdf7c10 error 4 in libQtCore.so.4.6.0[b6bf7000+27d000]
depending on which user logged in (the kded4 crash only occurred if the user was not in the "plugdev" group, so this might be another bug)

Rebuilding qt-core didn't solve it, though.

Downgrading hal to 0.5.13-r2 made the problem go away.

kind regards /markus

I ran into this problem, and downgrading hal "fixed" it for me. It looks like some testing was skipped in KDE before 4.3.4 hit portage. :oops:

Does anyone's battery stuff work? My system, after downgrading hal (who knows if it was working before) no longer does anything in KDE when power events (e.g. unplugging the AC) happen.

EDIT: That is, I do not know if the most recent HAL (0.5.14) was working with the most recent KDE (4.3.4), but I did have the plasma-desktop segfault. The previous version of KDE (4.3.3) with the previous version of HAL (0.5.13-r2) had all the ACPI/HAL power events working properly. I guess it's time to play around with various versions of stuff.

My plasma-desktop segfault with KDE 4.3.80 was caused by a plasmoid (smooth-tasks) that was compiled against KDE 4.3.3 (and Qt 4.5). Recompiling that plasmoid fixed everything.

I restarted KDE several times and downgraded hal with no success before discovering the above.

Its possible that upgrading from KDE 4.3.3 + Qt 4.5 to KDE 4.3.4 + Qt 4.6 could trigger the same problem with old plasmoids.

had the same problem with plasma segfaulting - downgrading either dbus or hal separately did not help - only helped to downgrade BOTH of them.... strange

For the record, kded still segfaults for me, even with the older hal.

Downgrading hal resolved plasma-crash problem in my case.

All power-devil (i.e. battery widget) runs OK.

The new Qt-GUI and Solid update fixed the problem

Tried to downgrade and got:

No package 'libvolume_id' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables VOLUME_ID_CFLAGS
and VOLUME_ID_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
