[SRU] kdbus (edgy)

[ville palo]

Original bug report: bug #71967 kdbus crashes right away.

kdbus segfaulted always on startup so it wasn't usable at all on edgy.
In order to make kdbus work again on edgy this patch should be uploaded.

Patch has been committed to upstream svn as you can see:
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/utils/kdbus/src/dbusobject.cpp?rev=605502&view=rev
It is not released yet, though.

The bug was caused by recursive function which didn't properly handle memory de-allocation.

Added bug number 73780 to changlog

The patch in question doesn't look sane, but a closer look (been digging through the code for an hour now) reveals, that it should indeed fix the bug.
The debdiff looks sane though.

+1 from me.

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

+1 - let's test it in -proposed

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Looks sane, +1.

Needs sponsor for uploading

Before kdbus crashed right away and a KDE bug track window came up.
Now kdbus starts without crashing like that. But freezes up right away.

I only get:
ville@ville-desktop:~$ kdbus
kbuildsycoca running...
Reusing existing ksycoca
kio (KService*): WARNING: The desktop entry file /usr/share/applications/DefaultPlugins.desktop has Type=Link instead of "Application" or "Service"

and kdbus works just fine, so most probably culprit are those Failed to open device lines.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Ville, can you please try to look into this and either see if it's not the fault of the update or provide a fix for this as well?

[ville palo (vi64pa)]

Unfortunately I have no means to look into this, because kdbus works perfectly on my PC, so I'm afraid that we have to reject this one?

[finalbeta (j-greenhouse)]

Hello, I was reading the motu list today. This topic came up. I ran kdbus again.

And it works, on the terminal I'm no longer receiving this part of the error:
kio (KService*): WARNING: The desktop entry file /usr/share/applications/DefaultPlugins.desktop has Type=Link instead of "Application" or "Service"
kio (KService*): WARNING: Invalid Service : /usr/share/applications/DefaultPlugins.desktop
kio (KSycoca): ERROR: No database available!

So this issue is now fixed for me. (I was the reported that said it was not).
I have no idea why it crashed before. I even rebooted the machine after the update. Thanks for the fix.

[finalbeta (j-greenhouse)]

I changed status to fixed. I was the only one to report it as still broken, and now it does work for me.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Thanks for testing again.
Setting back to Fix committed, since we still need more testers to get it into -updates ;).

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Hi,

please don't set the status of this bug to fix released, see my last comment.

Thanks,
    Stefan.

This did not get proper testing for more than 10 months, and I guess nobody cares about edgy universe any more, so I removed the edgy-proposed package.
