eps graphic preview crashes when kde4libs is installed

[ndbecker2@…]

Description of problem:

I just installed the new texlive on F8, now lyx crashes in preview.
rpm -q lyx
lyx-1.5.2-1.fc8.x86_64

<unknown program name>(14681)/ EPSHandler::read: kimgio EPS: starting...

<unknown program name>(14681)/ seekToCodeStart: kimgio EPS: normal EPS file
<unknown program name>(14681)/ bbox: kimgio EPS BBOX: 40 51 722 576
Fatal error: you need to have a KComponentData object before
you do anything that requires it! Examples of this are config
objects, standard directories or translations.

lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. Please read the bug-reporting instructions
in Help->Introduction and send us a bug report, if necessary. Thanks !
Bye.

[ndbecker2@…]

Looks like I can reproduce this by attempting to insert an EPS graphics.
Inserting a pdf doesn't seem to crash it.

Seems to be a Fedora 8 only problem.

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

/usr/lib/kde4/plugins/imageformats/kimg_eps.so[0x1f094c]

This is suspicious: the kimg_eps library from the unstable kde4 is used here,
and in fact the error comes from kimg. It could be that KDE3 and KDE4 are
clashing here, or maybe kimg from KDE4 is just not yet stable enough.

What happens if you uninstall KDE4?

[José Matos]

Adding Rex to the fun here. :-)

[ndbecker2@…]

It looks like removing kdelibs4 fixes it.

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

Then this is not our bug. Please report to however is responsible at Fedora.
For the time being, I'm gonna add a note to the RELEASE_NOTES. Therefore,
please report back if the issue has been resolved.

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

for the record:
​https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=410391

[rdieter@…]

Issue resolved, update to kde-3.96.2 helped.

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

Issue resolved, update to kde-3.96.2 helped.

Very good. I added this information to the RELEASE_NOTES:
​http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/22112

[rdieter@…]

Nevermind, reported recanted, and is still seeing intermitent crashes:
​https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=410391#c11

[anand@…]

On opensuse 10.3 x86_64 with kdelibs4-3.97.1-6.5, I have the exact same problem.
lyx-1.5.3 crashes when the .lyx file contains an .eps file. Removing kdelibs4
(which removes about 58 other kde4 packages) solves the problem.

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

* #4519 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

Reopening. Even if this is not our bug, it is an unresolved conflict between
LyX and KDE 4, and people get bitten by it.

(It's still an issue with KDE 4.0; reproduced on OpenSuse 10.3 x64)

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

* #4520 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

I've submitted a bug report to the KDE folks now:
​https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156957

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

Apparently, the bug has been fixed in kdelibs:
​http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=768782

I assume the fix will be included in KDE 4.0.1. Leaving the report opened
unless we can verify it's fixed.

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

quoting ​https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156957#c5 :

[...]

Qt uses the QImageIO Plugins for rendering images. Since KDE installs
such a plugin for the EPS format, every Qt application picks that plugin
as well. Unfortunately in KDE4 the EPS plugin used a class which is only
available in applications which use KApplication instead of
QApplication, so the plugin asserted and Lyx was terminated.

I've fixed that issue in trunk and the KDE4.0 branch (will be part of
4.0.1 release) now by using only Qt classes in the EPS plugin.

[...]

[anand@…]

On opensuse 10.3 x86_64, I have kdelibs4-4.0.1-3.1 installed and I no longer get
a crash in lyx-1.5.3 when previewing eps images (with preview turned on).

[Uwe Stöhr]

* #4540 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *

[José Matos]

I can confirm that updating to 4.0.1 fixes all the problems for Fedora 8 and 9
(to be).

It is nice to see this fixed. :-)

Thanks to Jürgen for reporting the bug upstreams. :-)
