Hi,
It's has been awhile since I was here, cause KT3.1 & 3.1.2 were unuseable for me due to various reasons such as speed issues and random crashes. Now I have decided to give 3.1.4 a whirl and I have some good and some bad news. First let me say that I am using the FC10 rpm from the rawhide repo. Good news first: The speed issue is gone, and it doesn't appear to crash randomly on some torrents. Bad news: The plugins are missing, George told me in the past to run kbuildsoca4 and it would fix it, but it doesn't do it. The plugins cant be found. There is also an error while starting ktorrent, I am fairly sure that it has no affect on the usage of KT. Here is the output: $ ktorrent &
Program starts just fine and dandy tho. When opening Settings->Configure KTorrent and clicks on plugins I get this in the console:
I have ran kbuildsoca4, which did not correct this issue. Any new suggestions on that plugin issue After a few moment where KT has been minimized and rying to restore it, KT crashes with this in the console:
I will report back with more as KT3.1.4 has a greater uptime than 10 minutes.

Bad package then, you can install the file manually though : wget http://ktorrent.org/downloads/3.1.4/kto ... .4.tar.bz2 tar -xvjf ktorrent-3.1.4.tar.gz cd ktorrent-3.1.4 cp ktorrent/ktorrentplugin.desktop `kde4-config --prefix`/share/kde4/servicetypes/ kbuildsycoca4 Then restart ktorrent, and the plugins should be found. |

Yep, sweet that worked, might have had worked if I just had ran kbuildsoca4 as user not root the first time ? cause I got this prompt:
"cp: overwrite `/usr/share/kde4/servicetypes/ktorrentplugin.desktop'? y" Anyways that worked.. If I get the Crash UI handler up i'll paste the backtrace if/when KT crashes. |

Thats all plus I got this as shown below. [edit] image removed [/edit] I'll try and build the source and see if it makes any differences

I have rebuild it, but not yet installed it, since it has not crashed in about 20 hours, but as said before and in the past it is all randomly. Will install on next crash

Ok a fast update... As per "instructed" I rebuild KT with full debug.
I have actually found a way to crash it, so this time it wasnt just a random crash (assuming you have Firefox set to use KT as handler for .torrent files) : In Firefox, browse to a torrent site (ie, tpb.org) click on any torrent. While it downloads, click on the same torrent once or more times so Firefox downloads the torrent 2-3 times before KT has reacted to the first then it will crash. Might happen by doing different torrents, i just accidently downloaded the same twice. I can actually remember I had this happen in 3.0.x and 3.1.1 and .2, never did happen with 2.2.x tho. Here is the report:
is all the backtrace UI says but the shell outputs a ton of stuff.
Hope it makes sense to you, I will post what it says from a random crash too when it occurs. |

I've a problem with 3.1.4 too, but it seems to be related to file check (so disabling checks "fix" the problem... either if it's a really DIRTY workaround expecting a TRUE fix).
Since 3.1.3 was so horribly broken 3.1.4 is still far superior. You can try for yourself, checking a huge torrent (4+ GB) kills KTorrent at least half of the times (at least, "works" for me, ArchLinux x86_64 here). |

I have not had KT crash on file checking at all.
Nor have I had KT randomly crash since: I changed the "Network Sleep Interval" from 10 ms (default) to 25 ms I unchecked the "Suppress Sleep While Torrents Are Running" box |

I am pleased to say that I have not had KT randomly crash, infact I have not had a crash since I posted the debug above
Today I have upgraded my installation to 3.1.5, and will report back with my findings (if any). |
