[opensuse-kde] plasma5 any dialog results in segfault
Surprisingly, no one screams about it so far, but that is close to showstoper issue, so maybe it's something wrong on my system... So: 1. start kwrite 2. write something 3. click close window button You'll see that the dialog will start to appear to ask if I would like to save or discard the changes, but at that moment kwrite will crash with segfault. Same story with any other application that wants to show dialogs, like system settings when you want to install new fonts and it asks if you want it to be user-specific or system-wide. It appears to be quite serious issue, potential loss of any unsaved data if you forgot to save in time. Any ideas how to solve the issue, or how to diagnose and report it properly at least? -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Do you have phonon4qt5-backend-vlc installed and preferred as backend? Cheers, Hrvoje

Wow that is good example of telepathy. Yes, as the only backend. That causes the crashes? -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Running "sudo /usr/lib64/vlc/vlc-cache-gen -f /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins" (for a 32bit system omit the '64') manually should fix the crashes. Until the next VLC update at least...

Switching to gstreamer indeed fixed the issue.

Is it possible to just remove or disable that cache? If yes - what are the consequences? -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

A missing or incomplete cache causes the crashes in the first place, as in this case VLC loads the plugins on startup to know which ones are available. And the crash is caused by the fact that the Qt4 based VLC GUI plugin is loaded into the Qt5/KF5 based application. The Qt4 VLC GUI plugin has to be in that plugin cache for KF5 applications to work with phonon4qt5-backend-vlc. Btw, that's also mentioned in the Plasma 5.1 Errata page: https://community.kde.org/Plasma/5.1_Errata#Bugs Kind Regards, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
