[Bug 463588] New: konqueror with info: loops forever and takes lots (all?) of the CPU
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463588 Summary: konqueror with info: loops forever and takes lots (all?) of the CPU Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE3 AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: jnelson-suse@jamponi.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Basically, konqueror has long included a very handy feature - the ability to view 'info' pages. After an upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1, I had need of this feature (as the built-in info viewer is awful) and tried to use it. Not only did it not work, it looped forever and consumed large quantities of CPU. To test: open konqueror type (sans quotes) "info:gcc" and hit enter. It will redirect to "info:gcc/Top" and loop on itself, consuming lots of CPU in the meantime. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Does it work in KDE4 version of Konqueror? What package comes the gcc info document from? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The test was with konqueror from kde3. Now trying with konqueror from kde4. Same thing. gcc info document comes from.... gcc43-info -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

'info:gcc' says that no such info page exists, with gcc43-info package installed. So I still need a way to reproduce. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The GNU C++ compiler. 314 * gcc-4.3: (gcc-4.3). The GNU Compiler Collection. 315 * gccinstall-4.3: (gccinstall-4.3). 317 * gccint-4.3: (gccint-4.3). Internals of the GNU Compiler Collection. 349 * gcc: (gcc). The GNU Compiler Collection. worklaptop:~ # However, no file /usr/share/info/gcc.info (or .info.gz) exists. I suspect you could easily test like this: echo "* gcc: (gcc). The GNU Compiler Collection." >> /usr/share/info/gcc and then trying to load info:/gcc However, 'info gcc' still works, as it actually loads the *manpage* (you can easily see this with strace -o foo -f info gcc). Thus, at some point in the past (it has to have been 11.0 because that is what I started with) there was a gcc info page, and it did not get removed. konqueror should not behave like this, however! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It is basically https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169630 -> upstream. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
