KOffice FTBFS on Jessie
by Slávek Banko 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Hello all, Tim, I examined the problem FTBFS KOffice on Jessie. I have found the same problem also with other program from Jessie: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=713270 Upon further searching, I found that the problem was caused by patch from reported bug #706181: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=706181 When I tried to revert created symlinks, KOffice is built without problems. By the way, on Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy) is KOffice built without any problems. -- Slavek

Please push the patches to git. :-) Thank you and good work! Darrell

I build tdelibs and tdebase with WITH_SUDO_TDESU_BACKEND=OFF. The description for that option: "Use sudo as backend for tdesu (default is su)". I always presumed that option was for support for Ubuntu because that distro is hard-wired for sudo. sudo is well supported in Slackware, but the default is for users to use su. Hence my build option decisions. Seems I can trigger the "tdesu: WARNING: unknown super user command" message simply by running tdesu. A snippet from my xsession-error log: [tdeinit] Got EXT_EXEC 'tdesu' from launcher. [tdeinit] tdesu is executable. Launching with exec. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW '/opt/trinity/bin/tdesud' from launcher. [tdeinit] /opt/trinity/bin/tdesud is executable. Launching with exec. tdesu: WARNING: unknown super user command tdesu: WARNING: unknown super user command Will the patches resolve the xsession-error messages with WITH_SUDO_TDESU_BACKEND=OFF?

Okay, thanks, that explains why I now see the messages when previously I did not. Commit 5354555 was pushed to git sufficiently close to the k->tde renaming patches. I would not have noticed because I was not updating my local source tree during the period I helped test the renaming patches with Slavek. That said, for consistency KIOConnection should be renamed to TDEIOConnection. Whether a WARNING or ERROR, the messages are caused by something not functioning correctly, especially the ERROR messages. I understand that commit 5354555 fixed a long standing problem of certain messages not being exposed but now that we have that fixed we must focus on why the messages are generated. As you shared, the messages were always being generated, which means a problem somewhere, despite the messages never being seen by anyone. At this point I now don't know whether the original three messages I posted are a result of the renaming or a result of commit 5354555 now making those messages available and the bugs actually have existed for a long time and nobody had any way to know.

Additional xsession-error log messages that might be related to the recent renaming (or they might be isolated bugs): * tdeio (KIOConnection): ERROR: Header read failed, errno=104 * tdeio (KIOConnection): ERROR: Header has invalid size (-1) * tdeio (KIOConnection): ERROR: Could not write data * tdeio (TDELauncher): ERROR: SlavePool: No communication with slave. * tdecore (TDEProcess): WARNING: _attachPty() 17 * tdecore (TDEProcess): WARNING: _attachPty() 13 * tdesu: WARNING: unknown super user command For consistency, should KIOConnection be renamed to TDEIOConnection? Looks like tdelibs is the only affected module, although there are some remaining remnant "KIO" usages in tdelibs, tdepim, tdenetwork, tdebase, tdevelop, tdesdk, tde-i18n, kshowmail, krusader, kdirstat, tdeio-apt, tork, digikam.

The patch for tdepowersave is quite short but seems the commonality among the three error messages is authentication? Then again, I see the two tdepowersave error messages when logged in as root too. Therefore not an authentication problem per se, but likely a related renaming bug in the authinfo code? Darrell

Possible bugs introduced from latest k->tde patches

All, Hopefully these problems are easy to resolve and I don't have to file formal bug reports. I don't recall seeing these error messages until after the recent k->tde renaming patches. There are no related stability issues or crashes, but the messages indicate various apps are failing to perform as intended. * tdepowersave: WARNING: Unknown error while acquire org.freedesktop.Policy.Power interface * tdepowersave: WARNING: Couldn't request charge_level.unit for udi: /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/device:00/PNP0C09:00 /PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0/ * tdeio (tdeioslave): WARNING: Can't communicate with kded_kpasswdserver! More than likely the messages are caused by inadvertent renaming changes, or the renaming changes are correct but associated code needs respective updating. If the errors can't be easily resolved here in the list then I'll file official bug reports, all as Blocker against the R14 release because if I'm seeing these errors then I suspect there are additional similar errors that other users are seeing. If you are using git with the latest patches then please review your xsession-errors log for possible related error messages. Thanks! Darrell

Last night I ran a new build set with the latest k->tde renaming patches from Slavek. I updated my main three machines this morning. Thus far no related problems encountered. Slavek, good work and thanks! Darrell
