By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Jeffry Johnston 2012-07-12 16:53:55 CDT

Running kdesudo (or kdesu, due to symlink), gives the password dialog, and allows password entry. If "Cancel" or "Ignore" are chosen, there is no problem, and the program exits. But, if "OK" is chosen, kdesudo crashes with signal 11 (SIGSEGV). 

The backtrace window says:

"This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

passprompt"


Here is a sample terminal output:

[asus] ~>kdesudo ls
passprompt
KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = kdesudo path = <unknown> pid = 12651

I meant to mention that I did not have this problem on plain 3.5.13, only after upgrading to 3.5.13.1.

Please can you check if you have upgraded to the 3.5.13.1 package kdesudo-trinity? A similar crash occurred with non-updated package.

It was updated, but a new version came through last night. Whatever was changed in the latest version fixed the problem.

I confess - in the latest version of kdebase I was changed WITH_SUDO_KDESU_BACKEND from ON to OFF, and this change was probably reason, that required to recompile kdesudo. Therefore followed update of the package kdesudo. :)
