as it seems my computer is unable to produce a useful backtrace for crashs in KDE, even though I set the 'debug' USE-flag, the crash handler gives me: This backtrace appears to be useless. This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creating of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash. (no debugging symbols found)...Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1". (no debugging symbols found)... (no debugging symbols found)...0x41b7c9a8 in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 ...and some stuff that looks useful :) is this really a bug or is this the way it should be? if it is nor a bug neither the way it should be, what did i do wrong? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Wait until something crashes :) Actual Results: useless backtrace Expected Results: a useful backtrace so the crash might be fixed :) Portage 2.0.50-r6 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.5-gentoo-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP Gentoo Base System version 1.4.9 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.58-r1 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://ftp.join.uni-muenster.de/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X alsa apm arts artswrappersuid avi berkdb cdr crypt cups debug dga dvd encode faad flac foomaticdb gdbm gif gstreamer gtk2 imlib java jpeg kde kerberos ldap libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mpeg ncurses oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline samba sdl slang slp spell ssl tcpd theora tiff truetype usb video_cards_nvidia videos wmf x86 xml2 xv xvid zlib"
There was a recent thread on kde-core-devel about this topic, and it turns out it's a bug in the code for Dr. Konqi. It should be fixed now, and will be in the next kde release.
