Description:   Opened: 2009-02-02 06:49 0000
Every time i try to login as root, kdm crashes with a segfault.
This Problem doesn't appear if i use kdm-3.5.9 or 3.5.10.

Seems to be a similar error like in
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=239672
just that i get it with the new version.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install KDE 4.2 (USE: -prefix)
2. Use kdm 4.2
3. Try to login as root, AlloRootLogin=true in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc

Actual Results:  
Root Login not possible, segfault occurs.

Expected Results:  
Login should be possible for root.

Here are the segfault from /var/log/messages:

Please try with newest kdm from portage (4.2.4)

------- Comment #3 From Andriy Baranskyy 2009-06-20 18:41:10 0000 -------
Unfortunately, the problem still remains with 4.2.4.

------- Comment #4 From Maciej Mrozowski 2009-07-01 00:53:19 0000 -------
Hmm, do you happen to have qt-gui emerged with gtkstyle USE flag enabled?
Also does this crash happen when you try to log into newly created user
account?

------- Comment #5 From Andriy Baranskyy 2009-07-01 01:00:12 0000 -------
Czesc  Maciej,

This only happens for the root account logins (and not only on my machine) and,
yes, gtk use flag is enabled. Would you like me to recompile the package
without the flag? I will try to do that later in the week - won't be able to do
it earlier. Note that root logins work fine when I use kdm from the 3.5 branch.

*** Bug 239672 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

------- Comment #7 From Maciej Mrozowski 2009-07-01 14:17:42 0000 -------
I may be wrong, but it may be related to Qt4 Gtk style (Qt4 style using Gtk2
and its plugins for rendering)
It may appear when one used gtk-engines-qt (the other way around - Gtk2 style
using Qt4 style for rendering) - applications will crash.
See bug 250504

You could try the following:
- make sure you have
export GTK2_RC_FILES=~/.gtkrc-2.0
in ~/.kde4/env/gtk-style.sh (remove any other conflicting files from there)
- install >=x11-themes/gtk-chtheme-0.3.1-r2
- choose some Gtk theme (for accounts that kdm crashes with, so for root, you
need to run it in any X session that works for you)
- relogin, crashes should be gone for that account - if so, run systemsettings
and for KDE4 apps set Qt4 style you want (it supposedly crashes because this
style is set to Gtk - using qt-gui[gtkstyle] but still having remnants of
gtk-engines-qt).

------- Comment #8 From Andriy Baranskyy 2009-07-02 02:43:00 0000 -------
Thanks! I will try it on the weekend or early next week and will let you know.

------- Comment #9 From Andriy Baranskyy 2009-07-11 03:38:05 0000 -------
Hi and sorry for not replying earlier.
This is strange, but I do not seem to have any gtk-style.sh files on my system
at all (and in the directory you mentioned in particular). I tried creating one
and following the steps but the crashes remain. I am guessing, I need to figure
out why I do not have the file in the first place before proceding further.
Alas, I was not able to find much online regarding this.

------- Comment #10 From Maciej Mrozowski 2009-07-11 16:28:04 0000 -------
It's fine that you don't have such file - as it's just example file where you
can set GTK2_RC_FILES for your kde session. The point is - in the same location
there could have been either some other similar (remnants of gtk-engines-qt)
that combined with Gtk2 Qt style (provided by qt-gui[gtkstyle]) could render
your qt4 apps unusable and require manual gtk theme switch (to sth other than
gtk theme using qt engine) while having qt theme using gtk engine enabled.
At least that was the case of kdm segfaults I encountered.

Any feedback? Andriy, if you want attention (like in bug 244720), you need to
provide one as well, and report whether issue is still reproducible for you.
Besides we all are yet to see any meaningful backtrace attached.

Hi Maciej,

Sorry about the delay. Unfortunately, even with the upgrade to the latest kde
(and kdm 4.3.0-r1) and gcc 4.4.1 I still run into the issue. I was trying to
look for the files you've mentioned but could not find anything. Could you
recommend other files where I can look for inconsistencies? 

With regards to backtrace, I would be happy to provide you with it, but not
sure how to do this. The only thing that I can give you so far is the output in
dmesg:

kdm[14386]: segfault at 0 ip 0805339f sp bfa07df0 error 4 in kdm[8048000+23000]

So far, this is not a big issue as I can either use kdm from the 3.5 series or
gdm, but it would be great to figure out what is going on. Please let me know
what else I can do...

------- Comment #13 From Maciej Mrozowski 2009-08-27 23:14:02 0000 -------
Hmm, to get coredumps, you could:

1. Enable core dumps
In /etc/profile.d/ create shell script with line 'ulimit -c 65536' (should be
big enough for just backtraces)

2. Issue storing core dumps in some common place, for example this way:
In /etc/conf.d/local in local_start() add lines:

mkdir -p /tmp/core && chmod 1777 /tmp/core
echo "/tmp/core/%u:%g-%e.core" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

This will make coredumps created in /tmp/core/

3. Get kdm + kdelibs built with debug symbols
This can be achieved using /etc/portage/env hack.

In files /etc/portage/env/kde-base/kdelibs and /etc/portage/env/kde-base/kdm
add lines:
CFLAGS="-O0 -ggdb"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
FEATURES="${FEATURES} splitdebug"

after that reemerge kdelibs and kdm, /etc/init.d/local restart and relogin

(remove those files in /etc/portage/env/kde-base when issue is solved as you
don't need them built this way permanently I suppose)
