I've been having some troubles with KDE2 since I upgraded to the stable
release out of the ports tree. It's alot better overall, but:
konsole fails if started from the task bar, the 'run' menu, or at
startup by the system. When started by the task bar it gets a SIGABRT,
and nothing to informative is revealed looking at the Crash Hanlder's
backrace. (at least not to me, so I've included it at the bottom of
this email.)
The second problem appears to be with konsole_grantpty. When started
from an xterm, which launches just fine from run, konsole pops up as
expected, works just fine, but this error displays on the controlling
xterm:
$konsole
konsole_grantpty: cannot determine the name of device.
konsole: chownpty failed for device /dev/ptyp2::/dev/ttyp2.
: This means the session can be eavesdroped.
: Make sure konsole_grantpty is installed in
: /usr/local/bin/ and setuid root.
Unknown child process 1922 died
konsole: setgroups: Operation not permitted
$ ls -lsa /usr/local/bin/konsole_grantpty
33 -rwsr-xr-x 1 root wheel 33252 Nov 7 17:06
/usr/local/bin/konsole_grantpty
So it is installed and setuid.
Perhaps someone here has some suggestions on how to resolve this
problem? I think it's safe to assume that this is a fBSD port problem
and not something that's broken in kde2. Interestingly enough, in the
kde2-prerelease it was working just fine, even though I belive that I
still had the problem with the konsole_grantpty.
