From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021017 Description of problem: I run all my common applications on the start of X. Terminal Windows, Web Browser, E-mail Client, etc. I do this via a shell script called by Gnome2's manual startup option. If I tell it to run 4 konsole and konqueror, kdeinit barfs on startup everytime. Depending on if they are in memory or not sometimes Konqueror will start, sometimes one or more terminals will start, but I will get at least one crash dialog. If I look with ps ax I see alot of kdeinit --suicide and such sitting around. If I killall kdeinit and then try to start 4 konsoles at once it works just fine. It seems to be isolated to either starting konqueror and a konsole fairly close together, or something about the load of starting some many applications at once. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup startup script that starts alot of programs including Konqueror and Konsole with Gnome2 2. Start X Actual Results: Crash dialogs Expected Results: Applications to start normally Additional info: I also see this problem with the newer kdelibs 3.0.4-2 from rawhide. startup: #!/bin/bash evolution --no-splash & galeon & gaim & sleep 10 xchat & xmms & sleep 10 kfmclient openProfile filemanagement & terms & terms: #!/bin/bash konsole -T Terminal1 & sleep 2 konsole -T Terminal2 & sleep 2 konsole -T Terminal3 & sleep 2 konsole -T Terminal4 &
Hmm, i have tested on 2 local machines. it works for me.
I just tried this again and got the four terminals, but not konqueror.
What speed CPU, and how much RAM? Could be a race condition that perhaps doesn't trigger on some hardware..
CPU 1.47ghz(Athlon XP 1700+) with 512mb of memory I have also seen it with the same processor in another motherboard with 768mb of memory. When I use konsole as my terminal program I have to not put the terminals in the startup, wait for konqueror to completely load, and then load the terminals.
Note also bug 80664. Seems similar and contains some possibly useful info.
I have gotten rid of this by starting my home directory out fresh. I know the bug is still lurking out there, but I am not no longer able to reproduce it with KDE 3.1 in rawhide and the clean home directory.
Just finished rebooting after upgrading my kernel to 2.4.20-2.22 and this problem is Back! I am running phoebe2 now.
Still running phoebe2, but have downgraded my kernel to 2.4.18-19.8.0 and the problems happens everytime. So has something to do with the kernel, maybe nptl helps.
