Mmh, that'll be difficult. Since it only happens sometimes, this would mean I would have to use KDE for a longer time which I really would like to avoid[1]. If you have anything which requires testing once, I could install KDE, try it out, and remove it again. sinp The reason I asked was becuase kde has this thing called DCOP which lets kde programs talk to each other (like IPC in a tty). I was thinking that it wasn't running in wmaker. (klauncher is part of this). You could check if it is running with the kdcop program, if you have konqi installed, then it should already be there. The problems you are descibing sound like a problem with the dcop system to me. The dcopserver is supposed to be started by kde apps if it is not already running. The klauncher warning is probably unrelated to the bug, as it is issued by kded when it can't run the cache update program with klauncher. After this warning, it falls back to the system call for starting the program, and this is probably not a problem. cheers domi Domi, are you saying the bug isn't a problem, or the error message? thanks -- Peter Nuttall [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#231392: konqueror: Can't talk to klauncher
On Friday 06 February 2004 08:39, Helge Kreutzmann wrote: Package: konqueror Version: 4:3.1.3-1 Severity: normal I run wmaker and use the session support by wmaker to restore the windows when X is started with startx. Konqueror-windows are opened fine, but sometimes I get for every window the error message (a button): Could not start process Can't talk to klauncher If you want I can provide a screenshot of this. I tried manually starting klauncher with klauncher but this does not help (nor do I see a process klauncher running afterwards). The same error appears when pressing the Home button, and local file directory browsing is impossible; the file open dialog is also unusuable. This also happend with konqueror under woody, but was not reported. I am not sure how to properly debug this to report the error more precicesly. Please tell me what to look for/at when this happenes next time, to provide you with the necessary details. My *impression* (!!) is, that it is related to system load. If only one konqueror window is to be openend, the error is a lot less likly to occur; also usually the system has some load when X is started directly after boot (e.g. checksecurity), so it takes a while for the konqueror windows to appear (much later than e.g. the xterms). But I might be wrong on that guess. It would be great if at least a possibility existed, to (re)start klauncher manually instead of having unusuable konqueror windows. Even better would be, if all windows could be opend at once (with the proper location on the screen and maybe even the proper directories). But I know KDE has decided against this route. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: alpha Kernel: Linux sixtyfor 2.4.21-pre1 #1 Don Okt 2 18:27:25 CEST 2003 alpha Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Versions of packages konqueror depends on: ii kate4:3.1.3-1KDE Advanced Text Editor ii kcontrol4:3.1.3-1KDE Control Center ii kdelibs44:3.1.4-3KDE core libraries ii kfind 4:3.1.3-1KDE File Find Utility ii libart-2.0-22.3.8-1 The Gnome 2 canvas widget - runtim ii libc6.1 2.3.2.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0c102 2.6.10-6 client library to control the FAM ii libgcc1 1:3.3.2-4GCC support library ii libjpeg62 6b-9 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libkonq44:3.1.3-1Core libraries for KDE's file mana ii libpcre34.3-3Philip Hazel's Perl 5 Compatible R ii libpng12-0 1.2.5.0-4PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.2.1-6Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.2-4The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libxrender1 0.8.3-5 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xlibs 4.2.1-12.1 X Window System client libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1-3compression library - runtime -- debconf information: * konqueror/crypto: hi Thanks for reporting the bug. can you tell be if the same problem happens within kde itself?

When could KDE 3.1.5 make it into testing? I (and I guess many other users too), wanna just know if I wait, or go experimental. I prefer staying unstable as it is less likely to break stuff... regards, Yves It is a good question. As you might know, debian is warming up to relase its next version: sarge. as the testing branch is what will become sarge, then it is in a state of flux at present. on one hand, the debian higher-ups would prefer it if the kde matainers did not upgrade kde futher in sarge. this would lessen pressure on the bbluids and mean that they could finsh sarge and get it out the door on the other hand, the debian kde people would want sarge to release with the latest version of kde, if not 3.2 at least 3.1.5. this would fix lots of bugs. Also as long as people keep breaking the kde packages in sarge by upgrading libs and the toolchain, then the debian kde people will be upgrading and fixing the packages anyway, and does it matter that they are now the latest version? in conclusion, we have no idea when 3.1.5 is going to move to testing, but it will probably be a week or two. the packages in experamental are iffy at present, they suffer from a lot of packaging bugs. then again, people have got them to work. it is your machine and I can not tell you what to do with it, so make up your own mind. best of luck pete -- Peter Nuttall [EMAIL PROTECTED]
