So yesterday I recompiled the entire system with gcc 4.4.0. Great. Only |
| 2 |
a couple packages failed to compile after minimal tweaks (usually simply |
| 3 |
just retrying, I think a few packages may not have full dependencies so |
| 4 |
they wouldn't build until further along in the rebuild cycle). |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
But, kde/konqueror 3.5.10 now likes to die unexpectedly rendering some |
| 7 |
URLs. It'll launch, I can see the download dialog, then the konqueror |
| 8 |
window appears briefly, then dies. Clicking the same link (in |
| 9 |
knewsticker) will try again. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, |
| 10 |
same link. Some sites (like /.) are much worse than others, with some |
| 11 |
loading without issue most or all the time while others (like /.) I must |
| 12 |
click the knewsticker link 2-4 times to get it to load, for nearly every |
| 13 |
link. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
It's not the feedburner redirect either, as once I do get a troublesome |
| 16 |
page loaded and thus have the URL to the page itself, I can try loading |
| 17 |
that again and get crashes too. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
In addition, sometimes a link clicked within konqueror will crash it. |
| 20 |
Again, it seems to be the actual rendering, after it has the new page. |
| 21 |
But this doesn't seem to be quite as frequent as the initial-click issue. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I tried loading konqueror (with a troublesome link) from a konsole |
| 24 |
window, to see if it spit out anything informative on STDOUT/STDERR as it |
| 25 |
crashed, no luck. It still crashes most of the time on troublesome |
| 26 |
links, but without spitting out anything informative as its dying. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I suspect gcc 4.4 compiled something wrong, but before I start trying to |
| 29 |
recompile various bits (kdebase, libkonqueror, konqueror, maybe others) I |
| 30 |
thought I'd ask to see if there are other KDE 3.5 users who've tried gcc |
| 31 |
4.4 compiles on their entire system, and if they're seeing similar issues |
| 32 |
or not. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
It's not too bad as I can always load iceweasel, or KDE 4.2's konqueror |
| 35 |
tho the latter still tends to screw kde3's ksycoca database until I |
| 36 |
rebuild it again, but it's irritating as kde3 and its konqueror remain my |
| 37 |
primary desktop and browser. |
