Hello everybody,

I had using KDE and Korganizer, but I don't know the Korganizer stop to working well since last week...
When I start the Korganizer that eats up all available RAM (4GB) and all my system become very very slow...
When I try to start from terminal, that's the result:

Code: Select all

[andre@blackhawk ~]$ korganizer
<unknown program name>(3332)/: Communication problem with  "korganizer" , it probably crashed.
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." "


Follow my system info:
Linux 2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.x86_64 x86_64
System: Fedora release 11 (Leonidas)
KDE: 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4)
If anybody knows how to solve this problem, please help.

Can you reproduce under a new user?

As always with Fedora, check that an update hasn't upset SELinux settings or firewall settings, too.

From the korganizer end, experiment with renaming ~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc and also ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics and korganizer_part.rc.

I korganizer starts now (it will be empty) you need to identify which of the renamed files is causing your problem. Restore them, one at a time, always with korganizer close, and testing with a restart. Let us know how it goes.

Sorry for delay bcooksley, I was out of office this days.
Thanks for help, I tried under a new user and the korganizer works well...

Hi annew, thank you very much for your help, I am sorry because I really new in KDE.
I disabled the SELinux, but still having the same problem...
So, I did the follow commands like you wrote:

Code: Select all

[andre@blackhawk ~]$ mv ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics.bkp
[andre@blackhawk ~]$ mv ~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc ~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc_backup
[andre@blackhawk ~]$ sudo mv /usr/share/kde4/apps/korganizer/korganizer_part.rc /usr/share/kde4/apps/korganizer/korganizer_part.rc.bkp

Then I started korganizer, that worked fine! (but empty)
Following your instructions, I did the steps always starting korganizer between each:

Code: Select all

[andre@blackhawk ~]$ sudo mv /usr/share/kde4/apps/korganizer/korganizer_part.rc.bkp /usr/share/kde4/apps/korganizer/korganizer_part.rc
[andre@blackhawk ~]$ korganizer

Still working fine

Code: Select all

[andre@blackhawk ~]$ mv ~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc_backup ~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc
[andre@blackhawk ~]$ korganizer

Still working fine

Code: Select all

[andre@blackhawk ~]$ mv ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics.bkp ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics
[andre@blackhawk ~]$ korganizer

Not working! Same problem as before

This seems to be a problem with the file ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics, that file has 666 MB of size, I think that file it's where the korganizer keeps my personal data (events, to dos, etc..) right?
Well, when I opened the empty calendar, I chose to import calendar file and pointed to old archive (std.ics.bkp), then the system stop to working again and I killed the process manually, when I restarted the korganizer that opened with my old data!
The only thing that changed was my emails, I had a IMap account configured, and it's no more there, but no problem, the messages still on server.

Thank you very very much for you help annew, that solved completely my issue.

Best Regards

I'm glad you got it sorted. You are quite right - your diary file, std.ics, had become corrupted. In 7 years of using it this has happened to me just once. All the same, I play safe now. I run a cron job to rsync my diary and addressbook onto another directory, as a backup. If you depend on them as much as I do, it would save you some near-heart-attacks

Great idea to rsync the data! I'll do it too!
Thanks again annew, in fact you just save me to have a heart-attack!
