I have been working on a system freeze up related to konqueror all day, and I think this may be the reason for it. I have tried a lot of hypotheses of my own making and some with a little help from my friends at kubuntuforums.net. Please see this thread for more information on my error-searching and fixing attemtps: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3091920.0
There might be something related to the local cache because the first time I opened konqueror AND SURFED THE WEB after after i did mv .kde .kde_old I could run konqueror fine. The second time, however, the system freeze was back. I then noticed that I got a particular errormessage in .xsession-errors: ASSERT: "!icon.isEmpty()" in /build/buildd/kdebase-3.5.8/./libkonq/konq_pixmapprovider.cc (81) Next, I tried running konqueror from a konsole window. I get the same error message repeatedly in that window, it just scrolls until I loose count of how many times (ie. when loading www.kde.org, for example. This typically would result in a system freeze but by disabling local cache it appears that the system does not freeze up anymore, however it does still report the error messages (umpteen times) when loading www.kde.org. I suggest that the bug be renamed to provide more intuitive information, ie contain part of the errormessage at least.... -- Konqueror works only when run as root https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108436 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
