3.1.2 bugs

Tue Aug 12, 2008 3:37 pm
1. When the check data integrity after downloading option is selected ktorrent crashes after scan is finished.

2. when the scan folder plugin is loaded, within minutes I get the white screen of death.

Ktorrent 3.1.2 was compiled from the source on the website and is running on stock kubuntu hardy heron with the special kde 4.1 debs pointed to here: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1

Does not happen with latest SVN code, I will try 3.1.2.

Also doesn't happen with 3.1.2, have you got a backtrace of the crash ?

Is there a howto on doing this backtrace stuff? I'm happy to do it if someone points me to a howto. I can do it when I get home from work in five hours.

The white screen of death is KDE4's version of the blue screen of death. Everything goes white and becomes unuseable. the fix is to restart plasma.

A KDE crash dialog should appear with a crash, you can the click on a checkbox and then the backtrace will be generated.

As for the plasma crash, that is a plasma problem, not a ktorrent one.

I don't get a kde crash dialog when ktorrent dies. It stops showing up in the task bar and ps -A | grep ktorrent doesn't bring anything up either once it has disapeared from the task bar.

Then it is either an abort or a normal exit. Could you run ktorrent in a debugger :

gdb `which ktorrent`

In gdb :

run --nofork

Then wait for the problem to show. If it is a normal exit then gdb will just print Program exitted normally (or something like that), if it is an abort. Then gdb will stop with something like this :

SIGABRT at 0xabcd1234

Then type bt to get a backtrace

I'm thinking it is a normal exit caused by a bug which has already been fixed.

KCrash should show up on abort.

I was thinking it didn't, or was it the KDE3 dialog which didn't show up with an abort ?

Another bug in 3.1.2:
When downloading from a webseed, it doesnt show me the speed, only the download progress increases.
In the Webseed info tab there is 0.0 KB/s although I'm downloading from the webseed at the very moment.
I think that worked in 3.1.1? (or 3.1.0)

Edit: remaining time is shown correctly, but no speed :-)
A nasty little typo? :-)
