The bug still exists in KDE 3.2.2. I have also noticed this problem in Kate and KBear, but the freezes are less frequent and they don't last as long in these apps as they do in Konqueror. AFAIK there is no way to predict when the freezes will happen. there's really not much we can do with this report, I fear. Perhaps you can run konqueror in strace and try and capture what's going on when it freezes? Created attachment 30206 [details]
konqueror strace
Since I have no way of predicting when the problem will occur, I had to use
Konqueror until it manifested itself. I then fired up another instance of
Konqueror through strace: "strace -okonq konqueror". There was a freeze while
it was starting up (typical of this problem). After that cleared I started
clicking around (opening tabs, directories, etc.). Konqueror would freeze for a
period in the middle of each action, as if it was waiting for something.
I have attached the strace output. I am sorry for it being so large (5.8MB
uncompressed). I am not an experienced debugger and I didn't feel qualified to
edit the file without leaving potentially important data out. The output covers
about 5-10 minutes of Konqueror runtime, with it being frozen for most of this
time.
One thing that I did notice in the output is that there are many lines that
look like this:
select(17, [3 4 5 7 9 12 13 14 15 16], [], [], {0, 16505}) = 0 (Timeout)
The only thing that differs in each instance is the large integer towards the
end (in this case, "16505").
There are also a few "(Permission denied)" messages.
I experience this bug too, but for me it happens usually when selecting/de-selecting somthing in a form. It also doesn't happen so often and the freeze lasts only some seconds. I've had this problem with forms as well. The freezes aren't as severe in KDE 3.2.3, but they're still there. This seems to be fixed in 3.3.x Sorry, but I beg to differ. The problem still exists for me in KDE 3.3.0. then it's most likely a local problem, as the only other issue that users report is freezing during text selection, which has since been fixed. Nothing we can do for the original report... the freeze on text selection instead is http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80072 (do we apply the patch mentioned there?) Nothing we can do for the original freeze, and it seems that in recent version only the text-selection freeze occurs, which is a different problem. Closing. |
