Description Alex Tucker 2006-04-29 21:28:10 UTC
Description of problem:

After the recent update to KDE on logging in or any other time kbuildsycoca
needs to be run, instead it crashes with a SIGSEGV.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kdelibs-3.5.2-0.1.fc5

How reproducible:

Always.  Have removed .kde directory and even created a test user to see if
there's anything I can do to stop it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in with a KDE session
  
Actual results:
The second item on the splash screen starts flashing, then a crash dialog
appears underneath, which must be "Ok"ed before being able to continue.

Expected results:
No crash.

Additional info:
Here's a traceback after installing kdelibs-debuginfo:

Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".

Comment 1 Than Ngo 2006-05-04 16:53:55 UTC
You mean this problem also happens with a new user? If not, does this problem 
still appear if you remove .config directory in your home directory before 
starting KDE?

Please attach the output of "rpm -qa | grep kde" and the all files in
/etc/xdg/menus, /etc/profile.d/

Thanks

Comment 2 Alex Tucker 2006-05-04 19:17:20 UTC
Thanks for the pointers; by a process of elimination I tracked down the issue to
a file under /etc/xdg/menus from an installation of Crossover Office, namely
/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/cxlegacy.menu.  Removing this stops
kbuildsycoca from crashing.

For completeness, I've attached the contents of this file, which seems to be
in-spec reading http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/ar01s07.html

I've also checked the contents of the directory the <LegacyDir> element points
to and even removed all .desktop entries in there, but whenever the
cxlegacy.menu file is present, kbuildsycoca crashes.

Removing the file is a workable fix, so I'll consider this issue resolved with
the caveat that kbuildsycoca is still buggy if it crashes on an apparently well
formed menu file.

Thanks for helping out,
Alex.
