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 Darrell 2013-01-02 12:07:48 CST

Amarok creates a kmail to report crashes with a backtrace. This is inconsistent with other apps and is irritating for users who do not use kmail and will not have any kmail accounts configured.

Amarok crash handling needs to be the same as other apps and only open the standard crash handler to show the backtrace.

Comment 1 Timothy Pearson 2013-05-07 13:18:26 CDT

One thing the Amarok crash handler does correctly is to generate a backtrace for all threads.  The standard TDE crash handler needs to be updated to do the same, then the Amarok-specific crash handler can be removed.

Comment 2 Darrell 2013-05-07 13:25:46 CDT

That is fine.

My focus with this report is amarok starts kmail. I don't use any other mail client, but I presume amarok starts the client configured by the user in kcontrol. If amarok is hard-coded to use kmail then that will be doubly frustrating to non kmail users.

Fixed in GIT hashes 1fbdb78 (tdebase) and 534ba7f (amarok).

Thanks for reporting!

Comment 4 Darrell 2013-05-08 20:18:21 CDT

By fixed you mean that 1) the standard crashhandler has been updated and 2) amarok should no longer open kmail but instead open the crashhandler dialog?

Amarok is pretty stable. We might wait a long time to actually test this. :-)

Yes

This is a good thing. :-)
