Description Stefan Huber 2016-04-10 21:09:38 UTC
When updating dbus from 1.10.6 to 1.10.8-r1 and restarting KDE, plasma starts with a clean desktop, forgetting all plasmoids. Applications like kaddressbook, korganizer, systemsettings, (and probably some more), fail to start with "KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly".

Downgrading to dbus-1.10.8-r1 and restarting KDE restores the old plasma desktop and makes korganizer etc. work again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to dbus-1.10.8-r1
2. Start korganizer, plasma, etc.

I've since masked that version and all is well again.
Comment 2 Dan Goodliffe 2016-04-12 12:59:03 UTC
I've suddenly (like just now) starting getting this problem with 1.10.6... so I've upgraded to 1.10.8-r1 and that's fixed it.
I don't understand.

I don't understand, what version was failing and what was failing? Please provide "emerge -pv dbus" when running the failing dbus version and the same with the proper one. And try to reboot just after changing dbus version to really ensure you are running the version you think

Thanks
Comment 4 Erik Quaeghebeur 2016-04-13 12:16:44 UTC
I can confirm this bug and that downgrading dbus to 1.10.6 fixed things (up until now).

Comment 5 Alexander Miller 2016-04-13 15:29:01 UTC
Actually both dbus versions (1.10.8-r1 and 1.10.6) seem to be affected.
My current theory is that the issue is triggered by an update to
sys-libs/glibc-2.22-r4 and is related to prelink. (Can the other
users confirm this?)

I haven't had time to dig deeper, but this is what I observed:
The day after my last world update (which upgraded to dbus-1.10.8-r1)
I experienced the breakage described in comment #1. Downgrading to
dbus-1.10.6 seemed to fix the issue, but the next day the problems
reappeared. So the dbus version doesn't seem to matter. But what
changed during that day (I didn't emerge anything) that could make
it fail again? Prelinking!
I'd run "prelink -u /usr/lib64/libdbusmenu-qt.so.2.6.0" and everything
was back to normal. But prelink has worked before the world update,
and glibc has been updated, too. (The other packages that were updated
are not related to kde or dbus.)
So I think there might be an incompatibility between glibc-2.22-r4's
dynamic linker, prelinking, and dbus. Further investigation needed.

As a temporary workaround, the following might work (not tested):
echo '-b /usr/lib64/libdbusmenu-qt.so*' >> /etc/prelink.conf.d/dbus.conf

[This is on an amd64 box with sys-fs/eudev-3.1.5, sys-devel/gcc-4.9.3,
sys-apps/dbus-1.10.6 (1.10.8-r1), and a patched sys-devel/prelink-20151030]

Good job, Alexander!
I can confirm:
# prelink -u /usr/lib64/libdbusmenu-qt.so.2.6.0
solves this issue with dbus-1.10.8-r1

I believe I can confirm this, too.
Comment 8 Dan Goodliffe 2016-04-13 20:47:19 UTC
Just for my own sanity, am I understanding this correctly by saying the act of re-emerging dbus fixes the problem (albeit temporarily)... the version number is irrelevant?
Comment 9 Egor Y. Egorov 2016-04-14 03:08:16 UTC
I can confirm sys-apps/dbus-1.10.6 affected.

Yes, but dbus doesn't seem to be the (main) culprit here, so e-emerging is not even necessary. To get an immediate fix, use Egor's

# prelink -u /usr/lib64/libdbusmenu-qt.so.*

To get a more permanent fix, use Alexander's

# echo '-b /usr/lib64/libdbusmenu-qt.so*' >> /etc/prelink.conf.d/dbus.conf

I can confirm the former works; the latter is just making this permanent, i.e., meaning that the next (daily) prelink run will not mess things up again.

(This bug should be marked as confirmed.)
Comment 12 Anthony Mendez 2016-04-14 23:42:40 UTC
Same issue with same results.

- Downgrading dbus "fixed" the issue.
- Removed prelink and updated dbus and issue is resolved.
Comment 13 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2016-04-16 10:47:42 UTC
What prelink version are you running?
Comment 14 Egor Y. Egorov 2016-04-16 12:47:39 UTC
sys-devel/prelink-20130503
in my case
Comment 15 Egor Y. Egorov 2016-04-16 13:11:28 UTC
with 20151030 same issue
Comment 16 Alexander Miller 2016-04-16 18:29:10 UTC
The same issue is discussed in bug #579374, too. This should be
marked as a duplicate (or the other way round).

This links to https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19178, which implies that a fix should be available for glibc-2.22 and that glibc-2.23 should not be affected (fixed upon release).

Did anyone try glibc-2.23?
Comment 18 Dan Goodliffe 2016-04-17 12:27:38 UTC
I have few boxes running ~amd64 and ~x86, which all have glibc-2.23 on and none of them were affected by this. But obviously, they have other versions of many other things too. I can't test the box I have issues with until I get back into work tomorrow.

I try glibc-2.23. It is affected.
Comment 20 jonathan e. Snow 2016-04-18 19:19:55 UTC
I can confirm. I am running a stable x86 system, and glibc is the most recently upgraded package of the ones under discussion, so I downgraded it to 2.21-r2. 

That worked. 

dbus 1.8.16
prelink 20130503
kernel 4.1.12-gentoo
Comment 21 Alexander Miller 2016-04-29 15:41:42 UTC
Please test the following patch for sys-libs/glibc:
<https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=432574>

Don't forget to remove any temporary workarounds and to re-prelink your system after installing the patched glibc.

(Note: dbus is totally unrelated to the issue except for being a dependency of the affected kde apps; unprelinking dbus stuff effectively disables prelinking for kde. See bug #579374 for more details.)
Comment 22 julakali 2016-05-02 20:33:06 UTC
I didn't try any other workarounds, just your patch after I encountered the issue. It works fine for me so far with glibc-2.22-r4 and the given patch. Thank you!
