Created attachment 381033 [details] Krash report KDED4 crash Description of problem: When refreshing the software update listing in System Setting -> Add and Remove software KDED4 crashes. It makes no difference if there are updates available. KDED4 didn't crash immediately. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kpackagekit-0.5.2-1.fc12.x86_64 (from updates-testing) PackageKit-0.5.5-1.fc12.x86_64 (from updates-testing) How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open System Setting -> Add and Remove Software 2. Go to Software Updates 3. Press "Refresh" button (maybe wait a while) Actual results: KDED4 crashes Expected results: KDED4 doesn't crash Additional info:
Hi, PackageKit-0.5.6-1.fc12.x86_64 in updates-testing solves this problem. So this bug report can be closed. Martin Kho
Hi, Aargh.. My response was somewhat too quick. It took a while before KDED4 crashed. I could update, so everything seemed okay. The Kcrash report was not very informative. I'll try to get a better one. Martin Kho

Hi, Not sure if it's interesting, but I saw that kpackagekit 0.5.3 is released. Changelog: 0.5.3 - Removed some lib dependencies from KdeD module to avoid craches there Reference: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KPackageKit?content=84745 Martin Kho
Working on it
Today after updating PackageKit to 0.5.6-1.fc12 kpackagekit started to function again with relevant updates displayed and no chrashes when pressing "refresh". Seems that the problem was not in kpackagekit but rather in PackageKit. My system is a fresh install of Fedora12 fully updated with all stable updates, but nos test or dev updates. Jan Simonson
Looks like a new kpackagekit release happened that includes some workarounds for this problem. Our quick-n-dirty testing has been good. Please try it out: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=150896 (Also put into the kde-redhat-testing repos for those who use that).
kpackagekit-0.5.3-1.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kpackagekit-0.5.3-1.fc12
Hi, Tried kpackagekit-0.5.3-1 but got a crash, not KDE Deamon this time. I´ll create a new bug report for this crash. Martin Kho
kpackagekit-0.5.3-1.fc12 has been pushed to the Fedora 12 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update kpackagekit'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F12/FEDORA-2010-0584
Updated kpackagekit from updates-testing. It still crashes. After 'Downloading list of changes' in 'Software Updates' kpackagekit crashed. It make no difference if kpackagekit is run from System Settings or stand alone. In de next comment you'll find the crash report. And after a while...KDE4 Daemon crashed. Sorry ;-( Martin Kho Btw: I created a new bug report [1] for this version of kpackagekit, that can be closed I suppose? [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555594

Hi, Culprit found! Today libxcb was updated to version 1.5-1 and kpackagekit didn't crash anymore :-) Don't know what fixed the issue: Changelog says: * Wed Jan 13 2010 Dave Airlie <airlied> 1.5-1 - libxcb 1.5 There is a BUT... Now I have the same issue as in F13. Available updates are not visible in Software Updates window. This bug is filed in report [1] Shall I open a separate report for F12? [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555014 Martin Kho
I think this is just a red herring, like before with PackageKit 0.5.6, the error will come back. I don't see how a libxcb update can fix this crash.
Since I wrote that comment I have been starting and using the "Update" key in kpackagekit at least 15 times without a single crash. I find it very odd that there are no chrashes for me while they continue for other users. Not that I complain but.. ;-) Have you tried to erase your config file (/home/jan/.kde/share/config/KPackageKit)? Also, my system is fully updated, but only with stable. Jan Simonson
@Jan, yes I erased my config file and compared it with the one you send to the mailing list. Thanks for that info :-) @Kevin, it surely can be a red herring. 'Tux' may need a new pair of glasses :-) I've set up VirtualBox and installed KDE Live CD x86_64 (1) and i686 (2). (1) was fully updated with yum update, because kpackagekit reported an unrecoverable error. Then I updated kpackagekit from updates-testing to version 0.5.3-1. Today libxcb was updated, that resulted in what I commented in #17. (2) Updated to the latest kernel (so I could install VBOX extensions), libxcb and kpackagekit-0.5.2-1 (PackageKit-0.5.6-1) from stable. Then I started kpackagekit. Guess what ... everything runs as expected, no crash, packages are visible in the Software Update window. I know now I have a very, very bad story :-$. Any ideas? Need to reinstall my stable system? Martin Kho
Hi, It starts being a farce ;-( Installed skype on a fully updated Fedora 12 i686 (see 2 in comment #20) in VirtualBox at Jan 17 01:34:02. The KDE Daemon crashed at 01:42. So there is definitely a red herring. I'll add the KCrash report. Martin Kho

Hi, On my fully updated F12 'production system' I downgraded kpackagekit to version 0.5.2-1. Available updates are visible in the Software Updates window. The KDE Daemon doesn't crash. The crashes stopped happening after I got the following updates: Jan 16 11:26:49 Updated: libxcb-1.5-1.fc12.x86_64 Jan 16 11:26:51 Updated: system-config-printer-libs-1.1.16-8.fc12.x86_64 Jan 16 11:26:53 Updated: libxfcegui4-4.6.2-1.fc12.x86_64 Jan 16 11:26:54 Updated: system-config-printer-udev-1.1.16-8.fc12.x86_64 Jan 16 11:26:56 Updated: gdb-7.0.1-26.fc12.x86_64 Jan 16 11:26:57 Updated: 1:xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.15-19.20091105gite1c2efd.fc12.x86_64 Jan 16 11:26:58 Updated: libxcb-devel-1.5-1.fc12.x86_64 Jan 16 11:27:00 Updated: system-config-printer-1.1.16-8.fc12.x86_64 Which one is relevant? I don't know. Hope this info helps. Martin Kho
Further to the kpackagekit story... A couple of days ago i upgraded kpackagekit to testing with "yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update kpackagekit". That resulted in kpackagekit-0.5.3-1.fc12.x86_64 installed on my system. Since then there has been no upgrades available, at least not in kpackagekit, but today i checked with "yum upgrade" in a shell and sure enough there were 22 upgrades available! After checking once more with kpackagekit (still nothing) I downgraded to kpackagekit-0.5.2-1.fc12.x86_64 and all the upgrades were available there as well. So I upgraded kpackagekit one more time to check (all updates gone) and down again (all updates available). As I see it there must be a regression in kpackagekit-0.5.3-1.fc12.x86_64! BTW, I still have NO chrashes with either version of kpackagekit. Jan Simonson
Hurray, it happens again :-) ... ;-( Using kpackagekit 0.5.3-1 (0.5.2-1) causes KDE4 Daemon to crash, when updates are available. This starts happening, again, after Jan. 20th updates. There is one difference though, that is that kpackagekit isn't crash any more (removal of kded dependencies in kpackagekit seems to work). KCrash reports always contain the same content. So, to me, this issue still exists. Martin Kho Btw. I tried version 0.5.4-1, but it also crashed.
Hi, Well...yesterday I got a really great sensation. After installing kpackagekit-0.5.4-2 from Koji, a pop up appeared notifying me that updates were available. I could install them without any problem. I had to reboot so I was not sure if the KDE Daemon would crash. Today, again, there were some updates available. I installed them from Systemsettings -> Add and Remove Software. Everything went fine and the KDE4 Daemon didn't crash. Conclusion: The issue stated in the original post is solved for me :-) Congratulations to anyone who made kpackagekit working again! Thanks for the excellent work! Martin Kho Btw. I'm not sure if the issue from bug report [1] is solved [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546205
FYI, you don't really have to reboot, just click "Not now", in almost all cases you can continue working just fine (but some security updates, e.g. to the kernel, won't take effect immediately, and in some cases, e.g. if you upgraded KDE from 4.n to 4.n+1, KDE can misbehave quite badly until you restart at least your KDE session).
The latest updates that were pushed have fixed this problem for my computers. Thank you for fixing Kpackagekit.
Hello, Since late last week I have been running kpackagekit-0.5.4-2.fc12.x86_64 from updates-testing and it functions very well. No chrashes even when Kpackagekit-service is enabled in System-settings. All updates are also available. However, the notification of new updates in system-tray doesn't function. I have enabled Kpackagekit-service in System-settings and also marked the "Notify when new updates are available" in Kpackagekit's settings to no avail. Jan Simonson
Hello, I made additional comments to bug nr. 219590 (#96,100) at bugs.kde.org and installed kpackagekit kpackagekit-0.5.4-2.fc12.x86_64 from updates-testing.
