Summary: kio_smtp hangs, waiting to acquire lock; sending mail is then impossible Product: kmail Version: unspecified Platform: FreeBSD Ports OS/Version: FreeBSD Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs@kde.org ReportedBy: gareth.mccaug...@pobox.com Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) Compiler: gcc 4.2.1 OS: FreeBSD Installed from: FreeBSD Ports I am running a local SMTP server; kmail is configured to talk to it to send mail. This has been working fine, but for no obvious reason the following things have started happening at some point in the last day or so. 1. Attempts to send mail fail, leaving the message in my outbox. kmail spins for about 20s after I click the "send" button, not responding to mouse clicks or repainting its windows; then it creates a window but doesn't draw anything in it; then about 25s later it fills in the window with: "Sending failed: Unable to create SMTP job. The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder [...] The following transport was used: Unnamed". (Plus, since this is not the first time it failed, the offer to either continue with other messages in my outbox or give up.) After each of the two long pauses just mentioned, one copy of the following message is written to, I suppose, kmail's stderr: 'kmail(1280): couldn't create slave: "Cannot talk to klauncher: 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."' 1280 is, indeed, the PID of my kmail process. 2. I have a kio_smtp process sitting in the state that ps on my machine calls "L": "a process that is waiting to acquire a lock". Attempts to kill it fail. There is only one such process; trying to send a message doesn't create another. It never seems to leave the "L" state. So far as I can tell, it isn't doing anything other than waiting idly. Exiting kmail doesn't make the kio_smtp process go away. (kmail itself really does, though.) The kio_smtp process remains unkillable. I also have a klauncher process in state "L". It too is unkillable. This and the kio_smtp process are the only two in that state. Each waiting for a lock held by the other? I haven't made any changes to my system's hardware or OS, or to the way kmail is configured, or to my MTA, since long before the trouble began. (In particular, I have sent and received plenty of mail since the last time my configuration changed.) Doing other things with kmail doesn't seem problematic. Incoming mail is processed OK. The SMTP server itself appears to be fine. I can talk to it on port 25 and send mail with it. I'm running FreeBSD 7.1 on a dual-core Intel processor. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
