khangman won't start and eats 100% CPU on amd64

[Death Master]

Binary package hint: khangman

khangman of kubuntu feisty amd64 won't start. It has the following output:

X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
  Major opcode: 147
  Minor opcode: 3
  Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169

  Minor opcode: 3
  Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
ASSERT: "i <= nodes" in /usr/share/qt3/include/qvaluelist.h (373)

I tried to purge and reinstall but got the same problem. Doing a google on the assertion, found similar errors in kate/kwrite spell checker, amarok, scribus.
Tried on a 32 bit feisty, khangman works as expected.

You have reported this bug a long time ago.
Is it still a problem? Did you try newer versions?

Thank you for your report.

[John (johnviglis)]

This bug still exists in khangman 4:3.5.9-2 (on a debian lenny-sid amd64)

Does it in KDE 4?

[John (johnviglis)]

I checked only in gnome 2.22.2 and KDE 3.5.5.

[John (johnviglis)]

sorry, mistype,

I checked only in gnome 2.22.2 and KDE 3.5.9.

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

Well, as soon as you get your hands on a KDE 4 version of khangman, please report back, thank you.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Interestingly enough the KDE4 port seems to show the same issue.

I've reported this upstream.

i have simmilar problem when starting umbrello in kde4, i can only see this:
ASSERT failure in QList<T>::operator[]: "index out of range", file /usr/include/qt4/QtCore/qlist.h, line 401

in console, app doesnt want to open

[Caroline Ford (secretlondon)]

Running khangman-kde 4 in hardy I have no problems.

[Caroline Ford (secretlondon)]

@Jonathan Thomas I don't see your issue as the same bug. the original bug was an X error.

As it was an X error it may well be hardware dependent.

I can't reproduce on my hardware.

[John (johnviglis)]

Caroline are you on a 64bit OS?
The problem exists only on a amd64 system.

[Caroline Ford (secretlondon)]

I'm was on i376. I've amended the description to make that more clear.

[Philip Macpherson (philipmac1)]

I'm running 32bit hardy and the 4.1.1 packages for khangman But I still too seem to get a similar error

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

The probelm is that the khangman package is missing some files. KHangman and KAnagram both use some of the same files. You can't have them in both packages because that would cause a conflict, but if you only have the files in one package you get runtime errors such as this.

The solution would be to place these files in a kdeedu-data-common package that both khangman and kanagram depend on.

In the meantime you can install kanagram to work around the issue.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package kdeedu - 4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1

---------------
kdeedu (4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1) intrepid; urgency=low

  [ Roderick B. Greening ]
  * New upstream release

  [ Harald Sitter ]
  * khangman needs to depend on kanagram becuase the latter includes shared
    data files for both applications (LP: #115048)
