Hi,

Sorry my english is very bad ( i'm french )

I have Kubuntu 6.06.I run Ktorrent and few time after, Ktorrent shut down.
It's annoying, because I let run ktorrent all night.

Thank you

You'll need to provide an usefull backtrace so we can fix this. Try copying the text which appears in your KDE crash dialog and paste it here.

Where is the KDE crash dialog ?I don't see it

Try running ktorrent from a terminal and post the output, I think your problem is known.

I can't reproduce the bug :s but there ar errors when I run Ktorrent from a terminal

Code: Select all

anthony@anthony-desktop:/usr/bin$ ./ktorrent
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
  Major opcode:  145
  Minor opcode:  3
  Resource id:  0x0
Failed to open device

ScimInputContextPlugin()
anthony@anthony-desktop:/usr/bin$


I go to try again to reproduce the bug

That output is perfectly normal for Ubuntu/Kubuntu, and can be safely ignored. The output from when it crashes is more important.

I have the same problem using Ktorrent 2.1dev on Dapper 6.0.6, KDE 3.5.2

Theres no crashdialog. Ktorrent just disappears. It seem to be happening when i close my laptopscreen and let the computer run for a couple of hours.

I'll start it from a terminal to see if it gives any output.

//Jimmy

edit: The reason for running 2.1dev is that it was said it would fix som issues with slow downloads.

Jimmy, Dapper's 2.0.2-0ubuntu2 release has the same patches that SVN has for faster downloads

I've succeded to reproduce the bug !!

Code: Select all

anthony@anthony-desktop:/usr/bin$ ktorrent: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libktorrent.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZNK8KNetwork10KIpAddress12hostIPv4AddrEb


We know about this one, and this has been fixed. You should uninstall KT and install the official package, you can find it here :

http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper-backp ... t/ktorrent

or in the dapper-backports repository.

Hello, I have the same problem runniong ktorrent on mandriva
It crashes nearly as soon as it starts, so I have no possibility to remove the last added torrents which could cause the problem
I was running version 2.0.2, when this first happen, so as you told, I uninstalled ktorrent then installed v 2.0.3, but nothing changes . I just have the time to see ktorrent screen, then It closes without even showing the KDE crash dialog. When running from the shell, the only message shown is :
ktorrent: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libktorrent.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZNK8KNetwork10KIpAddress12hostIPv4AddrEb

when using the --debug option, there is no more useful informations
except that ktorrent tries but doesn't manage to connect to the ip of the firewall server I use to connect to internet as if it was a tracker...

Even if you ask us to compile it from sources, there seems to be a big problem which occurs with many distributions....

George, you wrote

But could you explain what is causing the crash ?

The problem is that the binary package is compiled with a later version of KDE then the KDE which comes with the distribution. (i.e. the package generator upgraded to a later version of KDE)

This later version of KDE will contain new functionality which is not present in your older version, and when KTorrent tries to use this functionality, it can't find it and it has no option but to crash, the OS does this there is nothing an application can do about this.
