[gentoo-user] [OT] KDE password dialogs stopped working

[gentoo-user] [OT] KDE password dialogs stopped working

[Dirk Heinrichs]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 458 bytes --]

Hi all,

just wanted to know wether anbody has encountered this:

Nearly all KDE password dialogs (except screensaver and kdm) have
stopped working. Neither kwallet nor kmail/kontact or kopete password
dialogs work. I can enter login data, but the "OK" button doesn't react
on klicks, only "Cancel" works.

I suspect that it has something to do with recent QT update to 4.5.3,
but I'm not sure.

Has anybody else seen this?

Bye...

	Dirk

No, though my kdm:3 is a little on the fritz - sometimes I have to restart X 
to get the login working. You could try revdep-rebuild.

no, never. Is consolekit running?
dbus is ok?
error messages in kdm.log?
revdep-rebuilt done?

[Completely OT]

Not knowing what ConsoleKit was, I had a look at the documentation. The
first chapter has the following gem (second section):

  Defining the Problem
  ====================

  To be written.

Quite typical: write the software before defining the problem :-) I know
I have been guilty of doing that several times in the past.

Yes.

Yes (at least I think so). How would I find out if it's not?

Hmm, kdm is working fine. Would I find other programs errors here, too?

Yes (or better: its cousin reconcilio), everything fine.

have you deactivated akonadi in the past (just pulling stuff from my ass, 
remembering how kopete stopped working without akonadi...).

That tells me it's started, but not wether it's ok or not.

I don't think it's related, since it's not working for all users. I'll
check anyway...

Right, it should tell you that it started without any major problems - also 
have a look at your logs to check for any error messages while your starting 
it.

If in addition you use the --verbose and or --debug options you should see all 
that dbus has to tell you.

HTH.

Such options don't exist.

Huh?  They seem to exist here (although the script calls them "flags"):
=================================
# /etc/init.d/dbus                 
Usage: dbus [ flags ] < options >

Normal Options:
    start stop restart pause zap
      Default init.d options.

Additional Options:
    reload
      Extra options supported by this init.d script.

Flags:
    --quiet
      Suppress output to stdout, except if:
      1) It is a warning, then output to stdout
      2) It is an error, then output to stderr
    --verbose   Output extra information
    --debug     Output debug information
    --nocolor   Suppress the use of colors

Configuration files:
    /etc/conf.d/dbus    /etc/rc.conf

For more info, please run '/etc/init.d/dbus help'.
=================================

Running it with --debug gives loads of info:
=================================

Downgraded QT to 4.5.2 and everything works fine again. Will file some bugs for 
this...
