Description Thomas Janssen 2010-02-15 09:01:21 UTC

Description of problem:
If you start Kontact (nepomuk running very well) it starts, but no GUI comes up. You can see that it's working behind the scenes if you follow the output in a terminal. Kmail fetching emails for example.

You can make the GUI appear with: 
qdbus org.kde.kontact /kontact/MainWindow_1 com.trolltech.Qt.QWidget.show

But it's busy, no reaction at all. Another funny thing is two green arrows in the upper left corner (one single and a double) on top of the GUI of Kontact.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdepim-runtime-debuginfo-4.4.0-2.fc12.x86_64
kdepimlibs-4.4.0-2.fc12.x86_64
kdepim-runtime-4.4.0-2.fc12.x86_64
kdepim-debuginfo-4.4.0-4.fc12.x86_64
kdepimlibs-akonadi-4.4.0-2.fc12.x86_64
kdepim-libs-4.4.0-4.fc12.x86_64
kdepim-runtime-libs-4.4.0-2.fc12.x86_64
kdepimlibs-devel-4.4.0-2.fc12.x86_64
kdepimlibs-debuginfo-4.4.0-2.fc12.x86_64


How reproducible:
Everytime you try to start Kontact

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start Kontact
2. run: qdbus org.kde.kontact /kontact/MainWindow_1 com.trolltech.Qt.QWidget.show
3. Wait a few hours and kill kontact then, because nothing happens.
  
Actual results:
Kontact not proper starting

Expected results:
Kontact starts proper

Additional info:
Started Kontact within gnome shows me that it starts nepomuk perfectly (notification from nepomuk in systray saying akonadi server is started and can be used), but kontact though hangs in a death loop telling in a popup "Starting akonadi server..".

To complete it here. The apps like kmail for example do start fine stand-alone.

Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2010-02-28 02:16:01 UTC

(Please disregard that openswan update notice, it was due to a typo in the original Bodhi submission for that update.)

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue to us. As we decided this issue is not a blocker for our 4.4 update and as this bug is already reported upstream, we are going to close it as UPSTREAM.

We will continue to track the issue in the centralized upstream bug tracker,
and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future
updates.

Thank you for the bug report.
