Doesn't look like a kdetv bug to me, I can't find those message strings in kdetv, probably they come from some kde library. I'd suspect happens simply due to the system still booting up and thus being loaded a bit, then kdelibs (or whoever takes care to start up kdeinit if it isn't running) either runs into some race window or has a timeout set too tight. do you use a setup where your network configuration changes via DNS your local hostname? According to the /etc/sysconfig editor the option is set to NO. New Info: I have my computer at work today where I cannot hook it to a network. I am not getting the error. I've tried 3 times, it works everytime without a problem. When I get home tonight, I'll recheck that the problem occures once again when I hook it back to the network. New info, I'm hooked back up to my home network again. I was trying to submit a bug report using firefox. I needed to open up a terminal (konsole). Selecting konsole from the application menu caused Firefox to crash and up comes the same DCOP error message. Clicking ok on the DCOP message and konsole opened up. Note that this crash happened after my SUSE test computer was up and running for about 5 minutes. I'm still running Beta 6 and would like to upgrade it soon to see if these problems go away. ok, do you use network manager? does your hostname (try "watch hostname" in a konsole window) change? is this a fresh installation or an upgrade? did you ever compile KDE on your own and could it be found still somewhere on your disk? is this reproducable? does it happens once per day, per hour, per minute, everytime? do you have a strace of an occassion when it happend? I do have network manager enabled, I saw this tonight when I installed Beta8. Wasn't sure what it does so I left it enabled (default). However, I do not have dns changing my hostname. I unchecked that option. BTW: the DCOP error happened tonight opening up kdetv with Beta 8 installed but it only happened once. Before with Beta 6 it seemed I could make it happen every time. Beta 6 was a fresh install on brand new hardware. I installed Beta 8 tonight by telling it to reformat everything except my /home partition. Both installs were vanilla installs with Gnome selected as the desktop. I didn't compile kde at any time. I did compile MPlayer and I installed a game in my home directory called Neverwinter Nights. That is all that is non-standard except for installing the nvidia binary driver. It was reproducable in Beta 6 everytime. Here is how I made it happen. Boot the computer, login a standard user, watch the desktop, as soon as the menu was functional I would click on Multimedia then select kdetv. Bam, I got the error. Tonight I tried it 3 times, finally on the 4th time I got the DCOP error message. The funny thing is, on the 4th try I actually screwed up the fand missed clicking on kdetv, the menu snapped back closed. I had to reclick on the menu, again, etc and it happened when I finally got the kdetv menu application clicked. I'll have to check into watch hostname and strace and let you know if I find anything. Oops, scratch that part about compiling MPlayer. I tried to compile MPlayer. I failed though because it wouldn't compile with the version of gcc that you included with SuSE 10.1 I should have fixed this for RC1. |
