Kate crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)

[jpfle]

Kate often crashes (maybe once on three) when I close it. See the attached backtrace.

Kate 3.1.2
Ubuntu 8.10 rc

[jpfle (jpfle)]

I've found the way to always reproduce the bug.

Kate always crashes when there's an open ftp connexion in the file system browser when I close it.

Could you install kdesdk-dbg and get a new backtrace please? Thanks.

[jpfle (jpfle)]

I'm downloading packages. After installation, what can I have to do? Is there a tutorial?

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Just crash kate again and get kate-backtrace.txt like you did the first time.

[jpfle (jpfle)]

Done. See attached file.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Much better. :)
This bug needs reporting upstream if it's not already reported, and then linked here.

[jpfle (jpfle)]

Is it an action to be done by me or by an Ubuntu developer (I just begin to report bugs in Launchpad, so I don't know yet its functioning)?

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

It basically means we take all the best data from the bug report and file a report at the KDE bug tracker, bugs.kde.org.
Anybody can do it.

[jpfle (jpfle)]

Thanks for explanation.

hello,
Unfortunately, i also met a crash from the Kate,but i believe that the Kate will be more stable in the future , and i will do my best to report the problem about it, so making it better!

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Will be fixed in KDE 4.2, marking fix committed until kdesdk 4.2 beta1 is uploaded to Jaunty. Unfortunately since it is not known what fixed this we cannot apply a patch to our 4.1.x packages.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

The fix has been released in Jaunty. It has also been released in Intrepid the form of KDE 4.2 packages. (See http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2-beta-2 )

[R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar (chandra)]

This problem still persists in Kubuntu Jaunty on an AMD 64.

Backtrace is attached.
