Description Peter Trenholme 2007-11-18 20:32:13 UTC
Description of problem:
If the KDETV application is started, it first complains that it has an ond,

More seriously, the application crashes when the "Settings" button is clicked.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ kdetv --version
Qt: 3.3.8
KDE: 3.5.8-7.fc8 Fedora
kdetv: 0.8.9


How reproducible:
Every time, even if run as "root"

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start application
2.Click on "settings"
3.
  
Actual results:
Crash -- See attachment for listing produced when kdetv is started from a
command line.

Expected results:
Settings dialog

Additional info:
The docbook help file is unusable

Comment 2 Ian Chapman 2007-11-23 22:18:55 UTC
I believe I've discovered the source of the crash, probably due to recent build
root changes it was missing the alsa plugin, so I've added a dependency on
alsa-lib-devel and will check that solves the problem, but I need some
additional information.

1. What's the missing dependency you refer to?

2. In what way is the docbook help file unusable? I take it your referring to
the KDETV handbook? This works fine for me.

Comment 3 Peter Trenholme 2007-11-25 02:10:04 UTC
1) The dependency was, IIRC, the LIRC drivers. Not a real problem since I have
IR stuff disabled for now.

2) The docbook would not load. I just tried it again, and it seems to be working
now, so, again, not a (current) problem. Since I posted the bug, I've installed
MythTV (from source) and installed/upgraded lots of software, so I suppose
something changed.

I was going to try [b]kdetv[/b] from the "development" repository, but the
dependency tree would have required that I install (almost) my whole system from
"development, and I thought that was a bit too much.

Oh OK, it is currently built against lirc so the problem may have been elsewhere.

No problem.

Yes and tbh it wouldn't have helped you in this case, kdetv in devel has the
same problem. I'll push an update for devel and F8 shortly which should at least
fix the problem of opening the settings window.
