[opensuse-kde3] kde3 potential gcc47 compiler code interpretation problem resulting in kwrite/kate crash
by David C. Rankin 04 May '12

04 May '12

Ilya, Dominique, All, I have been troubleshooting a runtime issue in kde3 when built on gcc47 that does not get caught by the compiler, but produces a crash in kwrite at runtime when lines that wrap are encountered. This problem was not discovered until 4/25. It is being worked as http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=979 There are multiple backtraces and strace outputs included with the bug report. The crash occurs when line length in a text file causes the line to wrap within the editor window. This can be reproduced by opening kwrite and: (1) pasting 1-2 words using the select buffer until the line wraps; or (2) by opening a text file with long lines and arrowing down until the long line is encountered. This is 100% reproducible on Archlinux and effects kwrite/kate/quanta+ and text preview within konqueror file manager (anything involving katepart) On Slackware, this is limited to kwrite. Darrell Anderson reports being able to use kate without issue, but experiences the crash in kwrite and in konqueror file preview. This may not effect openSuSE, but be aware of it and test for it in your builds based on gcc 4.7. We are currently troubleshooting, this issue and if you can either confirm it in openSuSE or rule it out, that would provide another data point. Currently we have worked backwards building code from 4/25, 4/10, 4/03 and 4/1 sources. The problem remains in all builds. We have binaries from the 3/29 build that work, but no confirmation of the gcc version used in the 3/29 build. I am presently building the 3/29 sources with gcc 4.7 and if the crash occurs, that will rule out a stray patch to the code causing the issue and will implicate something going on with the compiler. I'll let you know when I confirm the 3/29 build. This is a cross-post to both factory and opensuse-kde3. So check the reply address you intend to reply to. Thanks, and I hope this doesn't affect you. If it does, the more smart people looking at it, the sooner it gets identified and fixed. -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] Wohoo! kio_sftp is FIXED - 2-row systray is a cool trick

Ilya, Thank You! I just updated 11.4 and sftp:// is FIXED!! Damn, that is nice! Also, I noticed when I started kde, I now have a 2-row systray. That is a kicker space saver as well. Great job! Happy kde3 user :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] Ilya - can you patch kdebase (kio_sftp.cpp) to fix sftp in 11.4?
by David C. Rankin 02 May '12

Here is the patch: --- kdebase/kioslave/sftp/kio_sftp.cpp +++ kdebase/kioslave/sftp/kio_sftp.cpp 2012-05-01 15:15:14.105388321 -0500 @@ -480,13 +480,8 @@ if( port > 0 ) mPort = port; - else { - struct servent *pse; - if( (pse = getservbyname("ssh", "tcp") ) == NULL ) - mPort = 22; - else - mPort = ntohs(pse->s_port); - } + else + mPort = -1; mUsername = user; mPassword = pass; This will fix the sftp:// failures in kde3. -- David C.

Lately there have been complaints > about resources devoted to building KDE3, and this looks like a perfect > exemplification of the basis of the complaint. Because it is part of the kdebase3 source tarball and we build all the shipped components, not just some parts. Building this sub-package does not take excess time except for copying the files. Fonts do not get compiled and the preparation phase is shared with the rest of kdebase3 package. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] misc-console-font

Why is this rebuilt every time kdebase3 is rebuilt? What about a font could possibly change so often as kdebase3 and/or its blockers and deps change (multiple times per week, not infrequently on successive days)? And why does KDE3 need rebuilt so often anyway? I upgraded to 3.5.10.1-279.2 mere days ago, and already -286.1 is on the mirrors. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
