Hi, I'm running ~x86 and not long ago I have upgraded to qt-3.3.3-r1. Yesterday my system has compiled kdepim-3.3.0-r1 and suddenly this strange error appeared. When creating a new mail I can't enter the recipient's address or click at the ... button to lanch the address book. The application crashes with trace symbols appended bellow. I have thought it to be a problem of the -r1 build so I have recompilled the older kdepim-3.3.0 but the situation is still the same. Can I do anything to get more relevant information from the backtrace? Btw - KMail crashes also when I close it - with the same signal (11). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start KMail 2. Create a new message 3. Type anything in any address line or press the "..." button or 1. Start KMail 2. Close KMail (Ctrl+Q) Actual Results: KMail crashed and got signal 11 (Crashing)
Created attachment 39687 [details] Backtrace information Don't know if the backtrace explains a lot - have tried to compile kmail with debug flag but the output is still the same.
Have the same problem. Rollback to the previous version of the kdepim didn't help.
Tried to rollback QT and re-emerge kdepim - didn't help :(
Same here. KMail is unusable now: It crashes when selecting email addresses and when closing it.

Same problem here... I'm using GPG and LDAP... I tought it was LDAP :-/ but disabling it doesn't help. This is really annoying!
I have also seen kmail become crash happy. I my home machine, it would crash everytime I closed the application or tried to send an email. I wiped all of the kmail configuration from my .kde directory, and after setting all of my settings again, it seems to be working okay. I upgraded my machine at work, and the problem appeared. I tried wiping the kmail stuff from my .kde directory, and things improved but it still crashes when I try send email.
Hi, Sorry but I can reproduce this. You can try launching "kconf_update" by the current user and see if it works.
s/can/can't/
i've re-emerged kdelibs and it seems to be fixed...
Same problem here. I'm going re-emerge kdelibs, see if that helps me out. In the meantime - I've found that pasting the addresses into kmail will help with the composer. It won't crash. However, as soon as you click the send button, *then* it crashes. Leaving the message in your outbox, but it may already be sent. One of the mailing lists I sent a message to via this method looks like it got my message twice.
has everyone who is experiencing this problem just recently upgraded to kdepim-3.3.0-r1?
Re-emerging kdelibs (and kdebase... don't know if it was necessary but I forgot to re-check kmail) helps. Perhaps the problem is related to the update to gcc 3.4? I did only a "emerge -e system", no "emerge -eD world". Now I do a "emerge -eD kde", but _this_ problem is solved now. :-) Florian
@Caleb: Yes, my last "emerge uDv world" was last night. Last update was ~1 week ago, and it updated gcc, kdepim and qt all at once. Florian
I have tried a solution suggested by 26reverse at the Forums (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1545005#1545005) - to move kmailrc (from ~/.kde3.3/share/config/kmailrc) elsewhere and let kmail recreate it (by reentering all the accounts information). I have to say it worked and now my kmail works properly again.
yes, I've recreated the kmailrc too...
yes, I've recreated the kmailrc too... (before remerging kdelibs) but it didn't do the trick... I've: - removed kmailrc - re-emerged kdepim - re-emerged kdebase - re-emerged kdelibs Now it works 'fine'
Hmm - I was perhaps a little bit too enthusiastic. Removing kmailrc has helped me with the address problem but kmail still dies when sending mail. I'm going to try to recompile kdelibs (and perhaps also kdebase). I vaguely remember from the time I was compiling kde from cvs sources that I had to recompile kdelibs everytime qt has changed. Perhaps the ebuild should take care of that now?
Like I've said at comment #8, there's a program called "kconf_update" that will update the configuration programs when they will change for example from kdepim-3.2 to kdepim-3.3. this program must be launched from the user because it will look in the $HOME/.kde/share/config dir. We, kde developers, create a .kcfg files that has the rules for updating the configuration files. @develepers: I haven't seen this but I think that should be added an einfo to the ebuilds to inform the users that they should run it. What do you think?
OK, I also can confirm that re-emerging kdelibs solves the problem ;) It did for me :)
Yep! Re-emerging kde-libs really helps. It is okay for now :) Thanks guys.
OK - everything works now. Thank you all for your input. I would like to second Simone Gotti (#19) - could developers add a note to the ebuild about the necessity of using 'kconf_update'? I have never heard of it before.:(
Re: kconf_update Isn't this run perhaps by kdm when it detects a version change/update? It should be. Something goes out of its way to create new .kdeV.V directories in my home directory when I login for the first time after a version update. I would have thought that perhaps kconf_update is run more or less automatically as some point. And I think this should be when the user logs in. Also, where's the man page for kconf_update?
Probably you're right. I don't know if it's kdm. But It's logical that is should be automatically executed, if it's not kdm probably it's kbuildsycoca or something else. I have to investigate...
The problem is created when you emerge: kdepim-3.3.0-r1 The solution is to re-emerge: kdelibs-3.3.0
A little observation before I try the suggested solutions above: I'm running a multi-user host where two persons are using KMail -- interestingly enough, one does have the exact same problem you describe, the other doesn't... Furthermore, the one who had those crashes on entering an email address could still send mail when replying to someone's message, and the problem disappeared altogether when using KMail indirectly as part of Kontact!
I suppose this bug can be closed?
I think so, the problem is resolved.
