Bug#437091: kpilotDaemon hangs when "usb:" is used as handheld device
Subject: kpilotDaemon hangs when "usb:" is used as handheld device
Package: kpilot
Version: 4:3.5.5.dfsg.1-6
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When kpilotDaemon is run having configured "usb:" as the handheld device
(instead of /dev/ttyUSB0 or similar),
kpilotDaemon hangs on a nanosleep call. This causes:
- kpilotDaemon icon in system tray appear transparent (totally empty square)
- KPilot stop with progress bar indicating 10% of sync (if kpilotDaemon is
launched by kdeinit)
- KPilot hang if kpilotDaemon was not previously launched and KPilot has to
launch it
And the "critical" issue:
- Any other program which tries to contact kpilotDaemon hangs. For example:
kdcop
I can send straces or anything else you ask for.
The only reason why I filed this bug critical is that it can make other
packages hang, but I don't consider it a
critical issue as I have not found any other program, apart from kdcop,
hanging. Perhaps severity can be lowered, I
don't know Debian policies about this type of bugs.
Thanks in advance.
