Public bug reported: I'm not entirely sure as to what the reason of this is, however I think it started the undesirable behaviour when:
all things were fine, I could use konqueror and kdevelop etc fine, I then ran kcontrol and set the icons to use the ubuntu human icons, which produced a nice integration effect of my kde applications with the rest of my desktop I then fired up konqueror and when it went to a file view it started chewing up the entire CPU output provoking me to painstakingly kill it via a VT, doing nothing in the process By starting up konqueror and sending it to a http:// or other protocol it complains of "can't talk to klauncher" some KDE filechoosers don't work, either silently failing after showing an empty box or complaining of not being able to start klauncher or somelike, this is sporadic depending on application and being almost random in its appearance, for example Kdevelop fail, while kate works fine - kolf sometimes doesn't start at all - although there appears to be some kind of X driver problem with kolf as well. Switching back to the KDE icons doesn't change anything, konqueror still persists in it's processor hungry crashing KDE applications all complain at startup, printing this: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166 Major opcode: 144 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0 Failed to open device several times over (although this has been the behaviour all the time) all in all it appears that KDE is being pretty unreliable, perhaps there's something damaged about the underlying dcopserver architecture, perhaps if I was running a KDE session it would be okay? Perhaps this is a multitude of problems that span several bugs? ** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Description changed: I'm not entirely sure as to what the reason of this is, however I think it started the undesirable behaviour when: - I ran kcontrol and set the icons to use the ubuntu human icons, which - produced a nice integration effect of my kde applications with the rest - of my desktop + all things were fine, I could use konqueror and kdevelop etc fine, + + I then ran kcontrol and set the icons to use the ubuntu human icons, + which produced a nice integration effect of my kde applications with the + rest of my desktop I then fired up konqueror and when it went to a file view it started chewing up the entire CPU output provoking me to painstakingly kill it via a VT, doing nothing in the process By starting up konqueror and sending it to a http:// or other protocol it complains of "can't talk to klauncher" some KDE filechoosers don't work, either silently failing after showing an empty box or complaining of not being able to start klauncher or somelike, this is sporadic depending on application and being almost random in its appearance, for example Kdevelop fail, while kate works fine - kolf sometimes doesn't start at all - although there appears to be some kind of X driver problem with kolf as well. + KDE applications all complain at startup, printing this: + + X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166 + Major opcode: 144 + Minor opcode: 3 + Resource id: 0x0 + Failed to open device + + several times over (although this has been the behaviour all the time) + all in all it appears that KDE is being pretty unreliable, perhaps there's something damaged about the underlying dcopserver architecture, - perhaps if I was running a KDE session it would be okay? + perhaps if I was running a KDE session it would be okay?
