Description Jens Petersen 2008-03-03 02:51:41 UTC

Description of problem:
I don't have 3d on my test machine, but when I tried the 3D Earth Model desktop
applet it and then closed it, the KDE desktop session died unexpectedly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
extragear-plasma-4.0.1-1.fc9

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click Add Widgets in top-right corner
2. add 3D Earth Model (bluemarble)
3. close the desktop applet
  
Actual results:
desktop crashes and dies

Expected results:
Just widget to close

Additional info:
Nice to fix this or alternatively not install extragear-plasma by default?

Comment 1 Sebastian Vahl 2008-03-03 23:40:13 UTC

Confirmed.

I'm not sure which of these upstream bugs fits better:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152845
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151665

Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2008-03-04 14:07:54 UTC

KDE#151665 is a crash on startup of the applet and was fixed back in November, 
so it can't be that.

KDE#152845 sounds more like it. I wouldn't call this a blocker, if you don't 
have OpenGL shaders, then applets using them aren't expected to work. Now of 
course crashing isn't nice...

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2008-03-04 14:36:48 UTC

In any case, as far as I can tell, that bug isn't fixed upstream yet (not even 
in the trunk), and it isn't clear what component is at fault exactly 
(BlueMarble, libplasma or Qt).

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2008-03-04 17:42:04 UTC

As discussed in the KDE SIG meeting, given:
* the usefulness of this applet (almost nil, it's a tech demo),
* how this is going to happen to a lot of people (as this requires not only 
hardware OpenGL, but also shaders, to work),
* how the normal reaction to a non-working applet is to close it,
* the extent of the damage as this is done and
* that upstream is now targeting KDE 4.1 only with extragear-plasma,
I will simply disable the bluemarble applet in our extragear-plasma package, at 
least until we have a working fix for this crash.

Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2008-03-04 18:08:30 UTC

Bluemarble is gone in extragear-plasma-4.0.1-3.fc9.
