Hi !
I'm running trinity desktop on Debian Testing linux.
Sometimes all the icons from desktop disappear and (at the same time!)
the desktop lock button (blue lock symbol in the kicker panel) stops
to work.
What service/program to I have to restart in order to fix it without
logging out and in again?
Cheers

Disappearing icons from the desktop shows to crash KDesktop. Starting kdesktop
should correct the problem.
At this situation please take a look into ~/.xsession-error, if there is
listed a backtrace about KDesktop crash? It could help to detect and fix the
problem.

When the problem happens, do you have a DrKonqui crash
window opening on
your system? If so, could you provide the crash log?
Hi! I'm afraid there was no such window, but I'll pay more attention
next time. Where can I see the log if no crash window appears?

As far as I know, KDesktop crashes silently - without DrKonqui. However, the
backtrace should be listed in file ~/.xsession-errors, as I mentioned in the
previous mail.

I have exactly the same problems since months during several versions of TDE. I'm now
on R14.0.0 [Development]. DrKonqui is definitely not there after disapearence of icons. I
will look into my .xsession-error file next time.
here is my sources list:
deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-builds/u…
raring main universe multiverse restricted
BTW: Since some time I get:

$ sudo apt-get update

Err http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net raring Release

it worked formerly. Any idea what has changed?

Update:
Today I faced the problem again. Unfortunately I did not look into the .xsession-errors
file before I started to relaunch kdesktop. Nevertheless it did not crash. First action: I
started kdesktop from Konsole. It told me that kdesktop is already running but didn't
come back to the prompt. Icons were not recreated. I had to Ctrl-C for the promt. "ps
ax" showed me an old version of kdesktop and a second new one with <defunct>
message. Killing the defunct one was not possible. I killed the original kdesktop program
(Desktop went black) and relaunched it and - voila - the icons reapeared on the desktop.
Also the defunct process of kdesktop was gone.
I do not find anything special in the xsession errors file. I try to investigate more
accurate next time.

All errors are displayed more often before without the above described desktop problem (no
icons, no middle and right mouse button menu).
Process kdesktop is running but there is additionally a "[kdesktop_lock]
<defunct>" process. Might this be the culprit? I do not lock my desktop
normally.
I can not kill the <defunct> process but killing kdesktop process and relaunching it
restores all to normal.
now I have a running
21927 pts/4 S 0:00 kdesktop
21928 pts/4 S 0:00 /opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock --internal 21927
process again.

Sounds almost like kdesktop is deadlocked. Next time it happens can you
break into kdesktop with gdb (gdb --pid `pidof kdesktop`), execute "thread
apply all bt", and post the output?
Thanks!

Forgot to mention that this is only useful if you have the tdebase
debugging symbols installed before launching gdb...on Debian/Ubuntu from
the PPAs you can install tdebase-trinity-dbg.

Output is not much. Here you are:

Don't know if this helps for anything. I try again next time.
