Description George R. Goffe 2011-10-14 17:57:08 UTC
Description of problem:

The problem starts when ktorrent-dev crashes and Drkonqi comes up. When I get to the point where "the backtrace is useless" and am prompted to add debuginfo packages, a separate konsole comes up... talks for a while (messages)... fails and disappears. There's no way I can see to trap these messages. When I look in the pulldown menus in konsole, konsole crashes. Now I'm back to Drkonqi and this loop starts again, this time with konsole.

It would be nice if Drkonqi had a log facility.

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

kde-4.6; latest kde for FC14, whatever that is. The system is down now because X11 start produces a segfault. The gui is useless now.

How reproducible:

see above description.

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual results:

I have the identical situation, but when I open bash to do debuginfo-install packagename, the drkonqi does not reconnize the newly installed packages even if I click on reload

I think this is duplicate of

I have been told that is very hard to fix this bug, but we need to speak about it since it one of most serious bug of entire Fedora KDE spin. Everytime I get a crash of a KDE software I am not able to send a report to developers due this bug. That's not accepteable and affects seriously KDE reliability.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2012-07-30 21:50:34 UTC
So, I'm going to commit some changes to the script to add polkit authentication (instead of relying on su), and add some pauses to see any errors.

My guess is that a majority of these failures you describe are instead auth-related or debuginfo-install failing.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 16:30:00 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here:
