http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=542801 Summary: akonadi crashes when $HOME/.config is a file Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: duwe@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Development During startup, akonadi tries to create $HOME/.config/akonadi, if it does not exist. During kernel development, I had copied a .config from linux-2.6.* to my home, which consequently led to a variety of weird errors in KDE4 (-> "major" problems like print failing silently). None of them gave a slightest hint to the real cause, which is my point here. I'm uncertain whether this is limited to akonadi; feel free to adapt appropriately. Some error message (pop up) to ask the user to remove a non-directory .config from his home would be very much appreciated. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm helping with a cleanup of KDE bugs that are from obsolete versions or may no longer be valid. This is so the developers can focus on developing openSUSE 11.3 Here is some information about this: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2010-02/msg00015.html http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/BugSquashing ***Torsten, are you able to give more information. There are lots of startup problems reported reported upstream about akonadi. Many of them have been resolved in recent months.

A non-exhaustive search shows:

...

find kde* -name \*.h -o -name \*.cpp -print0 | \ xargs -0 fgrep '/.config'

kdebase-workspace-4.4.0/kcontrol/kfontinst/kcmfontinst/GroupList.cpp: ... kdelibs-4.4.0/kdecore/kernel/kstandarddirs.cpp: localXdgDir = QDir::homePath() + "/.config/"; And printing for a user with a ~/.config file still yields: | KDirWatch: /home/<user>/.config is a file. Use addFile! *Again*: some app, preferably the KDE startup, should pop up a warning! -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
