Description Kevin Kofler 2008-06-28 10:13:23 UTC

Description of problem:
KCrash doesn't show up for crashes of KDE 3 (kdelibs3) applications in a KDE 4 
session. Instead, a message "KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly." 
shows up, then the application exits.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdelibs3-3.5.9-15.fc9.x86_64
kdelibs-4.0.5-4.fc9.x86_64
kdebase-workspace-4.0.5-3.fc9.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. kile & (or any other KDE 3 app)
2. killall -SIGABRT kile
  
Actual results:
KCrash: Application 'kile' crashing...
KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly.

[1]+ Exit 253                 kile

Expected results:
The KCrash dialog shows up.

Additional info:
I'll see if I can figure out what's wrong, if not, I'll bring this up at the 
next meeting.

Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2008-06-28 10:23:28 UTC

I figured it out: it wants to start drkonqi, however it can't start the KDE 3 
drkonqi because we're disabling it with DO_NOT_COMPILE in kdebase3 and it can't 
start the KDE 4 one because it's in /usr/libexec/kde4.

So I see 2 solutions: either we reenable the KDE 3 drkonqi or we try patching 
kdelibs3 so it execs the KDE 4 one instead. (Not sure if that works.)

(Grrr, yet another KDE 3 app feature broken by excess DO_NOT_COMPILE in 
kdebase3...)

Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2008-06-28 10:28:03 UTC

Or third solution: we ln -s /usr/libexec/kde4/drkonqi /usr/bin/drkonqi in 
kdebase-runtime. (I just tested, that works.)
