Description Tobias Leupold 2014-03-13 12:34:37 UTC
Some recent update broke the execution of all Python plasmoids. I'm not sure which one was it, I first thought of dev-python/PyQt4-4.10.3-r2, but a downgrade to 4.10.2 did not solve the problem. So it seems this is more complex.

When I start a plasmoid written in Python with plasma-windowed, I get:

--------------------
KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/bin/plasma-windowed from kdeinit
sock_file=/home/tobias/.kde4/socket-skoni/kdeinit4__0
plasma-windowed(2638): Communication problem with  "plasma-windowed" , it probably crashed. 
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " 
--------------------

or only this:

--------------------
plasma-windowed(2753): Communication problem with  "plasma-windowed" , it probably crashed. 
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " 
--------------------

When I try to add a Python plasmoid to the desktop, the whole Desktop crashes. Here's a backtrace (I don't know if this is useful ...):

--------------------

--------------------

This affects all Python plasmoids here. Until the latest updates (one or two days ago), everything worked. I'm on stable. I also tried to rebuild all packages having to do with Python, KDE, Plasma and Qt, but it didn't help. The system is also consistent, revdep-rebuild reported no breaking.

I'd really like to help to debug this, but I don't know how ...
Comment 1 Tobias Leupold 2014-03-13 12:36:28 UTC
Ps: I see this on two complete independent machines not being in the same network and not sharing anything (so I don't think this can be a distcc issue or so). Both are stable amd64.
Comment 2 Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2014-03-14 10:21:33 UTC
Can you try with a brand new user and see if it still crashes?
Comment 3 Tobias Leupold 2014-03-14 17:07:39 UTC
I get the very same errors with a new user (without ~/.kde4, ~/.config and ~/.local).
Comment 4 Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2014-03-15 01:39:19 UTC
What is the output of emerge -pv kde-base/plasma-workspace ?
Comment 5 Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2014-03-15 01:44:15 UTC
Also, please try rebuilding pykde4
Comment 6 Tobias Leupold 2014-03-15 17:59:37 UTC
kde-base/plasma-workspace was the first package I rebuilt, as the whole plasma desktop crashed due to this problem after the kdm login and plasma-desktop belongs to kde-base/plasma-workspace. It did not fix the crash (I had to remove Plasma's settings in ~/.kde4) so that the plasmoid would not be loaded.

I already tried to rebuild all kinds of packages that seemed having something to do with it, namely: sys-apps/dbus dev-qt/qtdbus dev-python/dbus-python dev-python/PyQt4 kde-base/pykde4 kde-base/plasma-workspace

it did not change anything.

Just to mention it: another user in the forums could also reproduce the very same problem, cf. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-986280.html
Comment 7 Tobias Leupold 2014-03-15 18:00:16 UTC
Oh, here's the output of emerge -pv kde-base/plasma-workspace:

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Comment 8 Johannes Huber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-03-16 12:47:47 UTC
Could you please test with latest stable dev-libs/glib-2.38.2-r1?
Comment 9 Tobias Leupold 2014-03-16 13:05:46 UTC
dev-libs/glib-2.38.2-r1 is already installed. The system is up-to-date on stable (as well as the other systems where I have the same problem).
Comment 10 Tobias Leupold 2014-03-16 13:49:29 UTC
Oh, sorry! I just saw the -r1 update just has been installed, I thought there has been no update to this package recently.

It seems that this actually fixed the issue! I can now start Python plasmoids as before, no error anymore.

But how does a GTK library affect Plasma?!
