http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551672 Summary: Clarify if KDE4 systemsetting-mouse needs write access to Logitech USB mouse device, because it crashes if not Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: walter.zimmer@dlr.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090909 SUSE/3.5.3-3.2 Firefox/3.5.3 The initial problem is that KDE4 systemsettings crashes deterministically when pressing apply after invoking with "KDE-Menu" - "personal settings" - "keyboard and mouse" - "mouse" and pressing "Apply" after changing anything (e.g. changing button layout from right handed to left handed). The cause turned out to be wrong permissions for the mouse device: They are set to "crw-rw-r--", with "crw-rw-rw-" (o+w) it works. Originally filed under: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206566 with all the technical details. Right now it seems unclear if there are just wrong permissions for the USB mouse device in openSUSE or if this is a KDE problem which requires unjustified write access. Can someone check if from openSUSE side the permissions are ok? I would think yes, why should everyone be able to alter my mouse settings? It it also still not possible to resolve all symbols in libQtGui.so, so I hope this is fixed in a future release and the KDE people can get a meaningful crash dump. I know RC1 is old hat, but I figured if it would be fixed in RC2 it should have a bug report - but I didn't find one. Thank you! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open "KDE-Menu" - "Personal Settings" - "Keyboard and Mouse" - "Mouse" 2. Change any setting so the "Apply" button ungreys 3. Press "Apply" -> Crash Actual Results: Crash of systemsettings with the crash reporter appearing. Changed settings are applied. Expected Results: Exit application cleanly after saving setting so they are effect at next login See KDE bug report https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206566 for detailed configuration data (mouse type, crash dump etc.). -- 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.
