Description of problem: KMid doesn't load as a KPart in Konqueror anymore. (This worked in FC4.) The error message says there was an error loading the module KMid because libkmidpart doesn't contain a function init_libkmidpart. A quick nm confirms this: nm: /usr/lib/kde3/libkmidpart.so: no symbols Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdemultimedia-3.5.1-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Konqueror. 2. Set up the MIDI mimetype to load KMid as a KPart (embedded viewer). 3. Go to any website containing MIDI files. 4. Open one of them. (Alternatively, use nm to test libkmidpart for the required exports.) Actual results: There is an error message about no init_libkmidpart being found in libkmidpart. Expected results: The KPart loads properly. Additional info: Maybe a GCC visibility issue. Or something like -Wl,--export-dynamic could be needed.
Still broken in kdemultimedia-3.5.2-0.1.fc5.
FYI, the fact the nm returns "no symbols" isn't a bug. If you *really* want to see the symbols (via nm or whatever), you need to install kdemultimedia-debuginfo
The symbol doesn't show up with nm -D either, and that IMHO stops being normal. How is the linker expected to find it if it isn't in the dynamic export table? It definitely can't find it.
OK, good point. I can confirm $ nm -D /usr/lib/kde3/libkmidpart.so returns 000015e8 A __bss_start w __cxa_finalize 000015e8 A _edata 000015ec A _end 000004c4 T _fini w __gmon_start__ 00000378 T _init w _Jv_RegisterClasses which doesn't mention init_libkmidpart.
Still broken in kdemultimedia-3.5.4-2.fc6.
Has anyone pinged/bugzilla'd upstream/kde about this (yet)?
I haven't, maybe I should. This is still broken in kdemultimedia-3.5.7-2.fc7 in any case.
Can confirm on F8 (kde 3.5.8), got a patch locally, building now
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Still just as broken on F8, bumping. Not tested with the F9/KDE4 version yet.

Still broken in F9. I guess it'll be my job to fix it now as I'm the only one who cares about kmid at all. :-(
Its now 2009, F10 is in the wild. Do you still plan on doing anything with this or should it be closed.
I'm planning to fix it.
Since you are still planning on fixing this will rebase it to F11 so it doesn't get closed when F9 goes EOL. -- Steven M. Parrish - KDE Triage Master
Let's go all the way to Rawhide...
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
The auto-rebase kicked this down to F-11. Rebasing to rawhide. -- Steven M. Parrish - KDE Triage Master Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
It turns out the new KMid2 drops the KPart entirely, so it doesn't make much sense to try to fix this now, as I'm going to package KMid2 to replace the old unmaintained KMid snapshot.
