Description Matthias Langer 2007-04-10 00:26:17 UTC
when i start media-video/konverter-0.93 and try to select a source file i get:

"
[...]
KCrash: Application 'konverter' crashing...
Could not find 'drkonqi' executable.
KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly.
"

note that i'm using gnome, so i guess that a dep is missing.

Have you tried to reemerge kdelibs?

Cheers,

Comment 2 Matthias Langer 2007-04-10 21:36:29 UTC
hmm, i just did, without success:

Comment 3 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-23 05:57:22 UTC
I can reproduce this if x11-libs/libX11 was compiled with the xcb USE flag set. 
I realise xcb is not in your make.conf but maybe in package.use?

hmm, i've

x11-libs/libX11-1.1.1-r1  USE="ipv6 -debug -xcb"

installed, so no "xcb" for me. here is what gdb reveals, after rebuilding with "-ggdb" and "splitdebug". unfortunately that is not that much, but possibly still better than nothing:

Comment 5 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-27 14:30:24 UTC
Sorry, I've tried countless variations of your USE flags but was unable to 
reproduce the problem without xcb. 

Temporarily, I suspected an automagic dependency on x11-libs/libxcb (if it's 
installed) but that wasn't the case either. You could try re-emerging libX11 to 
make sure xcb is not used but otherwise I've no idea.

I suggest you find an alternative application as upstream is long dead. If more 
bugs come up for this package and none of the other kde herd members have any 
ideas either, this package is a candidate for removal, IMO. I'm marking this 
bug as CANTFIX for now. Feel free to re-open if you have more information or 
good ideas.
Comment 6 Stefan Huszics 2007-05-19 01:08:52 UTC
I am seeing the exact same thing

KCrash: Application 'konverter' crashing...
Could not find 'drkonqi' executable.

Gnome user (no KDE) 

x11-libs/libX11-1.1.1-r1 {:0} [R] -debug ipv6 -xcb


I dont have any good ideas but I'll try to help giving further feedback if you tell me what you need to know.

Also, this seem to be one of VERY few GUI tools out there to remake a lot of different movie file types (Avidemux is hardmasked and the rest sucks, dont work or is even more outdated...) so even if unmaintained upstream, it probably is useful to keep around (at least if this bug is fixed).
Comment 7 Stefan Huszics 2007-05-19 02:28:55 UTC
Interestingly I just tried konverter-0.92_beta1. This version do NOT have this problem for me. Again upgrading to 0.93 and the instant crash when trying to choose a file is back.

Comment 9 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-19 12:22:32 UTC
Reopen wrt  Bug 185850; same as in Comment #7, 0.92_beta1 is working. We should mask 0.93 IMO.
Comment 10 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-21 23:47:09 UTC
I've just p.masked =media-video/konverter-0.93. I still suggest to move to Cinelerra or something like that instead of this dead horse. :-)
