Bug 41515 – KGet crashes after QT 3.3 upgrade

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stuart W. Finlayson 2004-02-13 17:11:42 UTC]

When I go to download files using KGet (through Konqueror), I can get two or three to work fine, but anything beyond that and KGet crashes and cannot be restarted--it just spawns defunct processes that never die. I have tried re-emerging qt, kdelibs, kdeartwork, kdeaddons, and kdenetwork, both with and without the ipv6 flag, but still no luck.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to QT 3.3
2. Try downloading a bunch of files using KGet
3.

Actual Results:  
KGet crashes and burns after 2 or 3 files and cannot be restarted. 

Expected Results:  
The files you requested to download are downloaded.

I'm having the same problem.  After starting a few downloads kget just sorta locks up.  It also started after upgrading to Qt 3.3.  I also tried re-emerging kdenetwork to no avail.

I too am facing this problem.

[Comment 3 Timothy Grant 2004-02-27 22:50:29 UTC]

I just tried re-emerging kdenetwork, and that did not improve the situation.

[Comment 4 Davide Ferrari 2004-03-02 12:13:46 UTC]

Got same problem here, with KDE 3.2.0 and QT 3.3.0. The only way to get KGet work again is to delete .kde/share/apps/kget, but then if you queue again 2 or more download, it hangs again and again and again..

[Comment 5 friggos 2004-03-05 10:11:14 UTC]

ok i had the same problem.
actually not the kget application crashes but only the ftont-end(gui)
so in order to solve this problem configure kget as...
step1:go to Settings (of kget)
step 2:configure kget...
step 3:Automation 
step 4:check Auto shutdown after completing downloads

[Comment 6 Federico Fortini 2004-03-09 10:52:01 UTC]

Same problem here, it seems a bug of kget itself, on kde bugs is a lot of request to fix it.
I haven't try new kdenetwork alredy, is possible it can relove problems.

[Comment 7 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2004-03-09 10:54:14 UTC]

I tried the patch available on bugs.kde.org. but it doesn't apply cleanly.

kdenetwork-3.2.1-kget-crash.patch

Here's a new version of patch #4954 at
(http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75737) fixed to work with
kdenetwork-3.2.1. Please test by copying to kde-base/kdenetwork/files/ and
uncommenting the epatch line in the kdenetwork-3.2.1 ebuild.

Remove threading from kget

[Comment 10 Marc Ballarin 2004-03-29 14:40:42 UTC]

This is an updated version of the more radical patch which completely removes threading from kget (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74597).
Works fine so far...

[Comment 11 Marc Ballarin 2004-04-13 15:09:47 UTC]

Will there be an -r1 ebuild? Removing threading works fine, and has also been done in official KDE-CVS for KDE 3.2.2.

[Comment 12 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2004-04-14 11:05:48 UTC]

3.2.2 will be out very soon.

[Comment 13 theboywho 2004-04-22 09:48:06 UTC]

installed kdelibs-3.2.2 kdebase-3.2.2 and kdenetwork-3.2.2 - kget works fine.

[Comment 14 Stuart W. Finlayson 2004-05-13 20:01:20 UTC]

3.2.2 fixes this problem.
