KCrash report - Plasma-desktop

Description of problem:
Configuring yawn widget caused plasma-desktop to crash. It happened when the 'find'-button was pressed, after I entered a place to search. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
* kde-plasma-yawp-0.3.2-2.fc12.x86_64
* kdebase-workspace-4.4.0-7.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put yawp-widget on the desktop
2. Press 'configure' button
3. Add city and press 'find'-button
  
Actual results:
Plasma-Desktop crashes

Expected results:
Plasma-Desktop doesn't crash

Thanks for the bug report. I informed yawp developers about the crash. Since I can't reproduce the bug, I recommend you to talk to the developers directly at

http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/yaWP+%28Yet+Another+Weather+Plasmoid%29?action=content&content=94106

(scroll down to the Comments section)

They may need more information from you such as which weather service you are using, what city you put into the box etc. I will follow up their response and fix the package accordingly. Thanks.

Comment 2 Martin Kho 2010-03-04 21:22:40 UTC
Hi,

FYI:
Got a response from udev:

"When you update/change the version of kde than you have to recompile yawp. Yawp is a shared library that depends strongly on kde-functions! But each version is different. This isn't a yawp specific problem...

I don't understand, why people can not check previous pages in order to claim about something...on page 33, another user had the same problem..."

Just recompile ... :-)

This report can be closed, because yawp is behaving for now.

Thanks,

Martin Kho

But kde-plasma-yawp-0.3.2-2.fc12.x86_64 was already rebuilt against KDE 4.4.0! (In fact, this is the only difference between -1 and -2.)

http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kde-plasma-yawp/0.3.2/2.fc12/data/logs/x86_64/root.log

See also Bug 549620.

Comment 4 Orcan Ogetbil 2010-03-04 21:37:16 UTC
But I don't understand this. The original post says that the bug was reported against:

> * kde-plasma-yawp-0.3.2-2.fc12.x86_64
> * kdebase-workspace-4.4.0-7.fc12.x86_64

The above yawp (on which you had the problem) has already been recompiled against kde4.4. Martin, did you need to re-recompile?

Comment 5 Martin Kho 2010-03-04 23:17:53 UTC
Hi Kevin,

No, I didn't need to. I only had to re-configure after the kde update from 4.3.5 to 4.4.0. The re-configure action crashed Plasma-desktop, only once. Now it's sitting fine on my desktop :-)

Hi Orcan,

I was a little sleepy when I posted my previous comment, sorry :-)

Looking at bug 549620, It seems there is something weird going on between yawn - all widgets? - and the plasma-desktop.

Any idea what I can respond to udev?

Thanks,

Martin Kho

Looks like you're still sleepy. ;-)

Well, you can tell him that the package you're using was already rebuilt and that therefore that's not the problem.

Comment 8 Martin Kho 2010-03-05 15:49:00 UTC
Hi Kevin,

Yes I'm afraid you're right :-)

FYI: I added following comment:

"I'm not sure if Orcan's conclusion [Orcan: "So I believe this bug report can be ignored"] is right. The version of yawn that crashed plasma-desktop was already re-compiled for kde 4.4.0, as Orcan said. So a re-compile isn't relevant in this case, is it?"

Hi,

I did some debugging upstream, but this issue didn't show up. So this report can be closed, I suppose.

OK, then. Closed.
