Package: kde-core
Version: 5:45
Severity: important


After using some applications a dcopserver process remains
active and prevents logging out from KDE. If the dcopserver
process is explicitely killed from a text console, then
the logout process continues and the normal login screen
appears.

Example: Start a KDE session. Start VLC (VideoLAN Client),
open an AVI file, play, switch to full screen, switch back
then close VLC. A dcopserver process sould remain running.
Try to logout from your KDE session. It won't be completed.

Switch to a text console (Alt-Ctrl-F2), then kill all
dcopserver processes with killall -9 dcopserver (assuming
other users are not connected at the same time). Logout
will continue.

If you try to shutdown your computer instead of logging out,
then the unkillable dcopserver renders filesystems unmontable
and can cause a long fsck on next startup. RAID arrays cannot
be stopped correctly, since they remain used. Poweroff cannot
be issued and the machine must be turn off manually.

The bug is induced only by a few applications. I can preproduce
the problem only with VLC for now, but this could be a more
general problem with dcopserver.

Hi,

The Debian Qt/KDE team is trying to update the bug status of some old
bugs in the BTS, and I'm helping with this task.

Some time ago, you've reported bug number 347485 "kde-core: dcopserver
process does not stop and prevents logout" to Debian's Bug Tracking
System. You can read the bug report at:

     http://bugs.debian.org/347485

We are sorry if nobody responded when you filed the bug, KDE has
gotten more bugs in the past years than the maintainers could handle.
The team is trying to fix this now, but we need your help. So please
respond to this mail and tell us if:

- you are still experiencing this bug (adding in what version)
- the bug was already fixed (if known, in which version),
- or if you have extra information on how reproduce this bug.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Olivier Vitrat
helper for the Debian Qt/KDE team
