This bug specifically relates to the kaudiocreator application within the kmultimedia package. Currently using stable kmultimedia package: kmultimedia-3.4.1-r1 Unknown whether this bug was introduced in later kmultimedia/kcore-3.4 ebuilds, or even whether it existed pre 3.4. When "Rip Selection" is initiated, a "Malformed URL" error happens, followed by kaudiocreator crashing, and the KDE Crash Handler being invoked (which doesn't provide much detail, even when kdemultimedia was compiled debug. The bug seems to be in kdecore and/or Qt, and I don't currently have the patience to recompile all of KDE debug -- if I have time, I'll do that and provide more info. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start kaudiocreator and insert audio cd (any order) 2.Choose a track or tracks to rip, doesn't matter if CDDB detection is done or not. 3. Choose either toolbar or menu item "Rip Selection", any encoder choice (I've tried OggEnc, LAME, and "Leave as wav"). Actual Results: 1.) a "Jobs started" window pops up, letting you know that a rip/encode job has been started. 2.) at pretty much the same time, an error dialog pops up, reporting a malformed URL (I suppose it's a file:// url, since it shouldn't be calling out to the network) 3.) 3-4 seconds later, whether or not the dialogs are dismissed, the kde crash handler pops up. I would attach the backtrace, but alas, even via a kdemultimedia debug build the results are not useful. They change every time, and sometimes result in kde crash handler stating that it couldn't generate a valid backtrace. Expected Results: The track(s) to be ripped and encoded without error. # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 ccache version 2.3 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.13 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://mirror.clarkson.edu/pub/distributions/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/gentoo/" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X acpi aim alsa apache2 apm arts audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bmp bzip2 calendar cdparanoia cdr crypt cups curl curlwrappers directfb divx4linux doc dv eds emboss encode esd exif expat fam fbcon ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm ggi gif glut gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml icc icq idn imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 jabber java javascript joystick jpeg junit kde kdeenablefinal kdexdeltas kerberos krb4 lcms ldap libcaca libg++ libwww lm_sensors mad matroska mcal mhash mikmod mmap mmx mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mpi msn mysql mysqli ncurses nis nls odbc offensive ogg oggvorbis openal opengl osc oscar oss pam pcre pda pdflib perl php png python qt quicktime readline samba sasl sdl session sharedmem slang slp sndfile speex spell sse ssl svg symlink tcpd theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb v4l vcd videos vorbis win32codecs wmf xine xinerama xml2 xmms xosd xpm xv xvid yahoo zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Had the same error when trying to rip a cd. When I started KAudioCreator from Konsole, this was printed: kaudiocreator: WARNING: KTempFile: Error trying to create /XXXXXX.wav: Permission denied QFile::remove: Empty or null file name I then figured out I had changed the default temporary file directory for putting the wav files. So I unckecked "Default Temporary Directory" in the "Ripper" tab in KAudioCreator configuration screen and it works again now.

When I started KAudioCreator from > Konsole, this was printed: > > kaudiocreator: WARNING: KTempFile: Error trying to create /XXXXXX.wav: > Permission denied > QFile::remove: Empty or null file name Not the same error as the one I'm encountering, but just in case, I just went back and made sure that my temp directory was available, and no luck.
Reproduced here as well with 3.5.0.

Can you test if this is the same as http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117759 (non existing tmp directory)
(In reply to comment #4) > Can you test if this is the same as > http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117759 > (non existing tmp directory) > Yup that was the cause. I had specified ~/tmp as my tmp directory and at some point forgot what it was for and removed it. Recreating it solved the problem.
Closing. It will be fixed in 3.5.1 and there is a workaround, so I don't think it's necessary to patch 3.5.0.
