deitario1My K3b crashed (as it is wont to do after having burned a dozen or so discs) but, when I restarted it, I discovered that now all KDE apps on my Lubuntu desktop are failing with "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly".14:31
lordievaderdeitario1: Does it specify what protocol?14:32
deitario1The file protocol. Things like Dolphin and K3b fail to access local drives because the file:// KIOSlave is dying unexpectedly.14:32
deitario1I seem to remember that being worked around by forcing a restart of one of the resident background processes, but I can't remember which one.14:33
deitario1Dammit! Now I might as well just kill them all away. The Filelight process that I'd been waiting on for a while just died.14:34
deitario1(K3b and Filelight are the only KDE 4.x apps I'm using at the moment and, if I accidentally kill a Trinity component that BasKet relies on, I can just restart it.)14:35
lordievaderSounds like kded ain't started...14:38
deitario1This one? --> 11893 ?        Sl     0:48 kdeinit4: kded4 [kdeinit]14:42
lordievaderNever mind about that then ;)14:44
lordievaderdeitario1: Could you provide me with an strace of the problem?14:44
deitario1lordievader: Could still be the problem. I was just finishing noting down where all my Filelight instances were pointing in preparation for killing that process to see if, when it respawns, the problem is fixed.14:44
lordievaderHmm, so kded is dying?14:45
deitario1lordievader: Historically, when things break in manners similar to this, it seems to be that whatever caused the crash in the application also put one or more of the daemons into a broken state that requires a manual kill to get out of.14:47
deitario1SIGTERM does the trick. I don't mean SIGKILL when I say "manual kill".14:47
deitario1That sort of funny business is actually one of the reasons I left KDE 4.x for LXDE. The way KDE interconnects propagates that kind of problem to the point where I'm forced into behaviour equivalent to tearing down my entire in-progress work session and doing a logout-login cycle.14:49
deitario1KDE 3.5.x was stable enough that it was rarely a problem but KDE 4.x has removed all meaning from the phrase "It's stable now"14:50
lordievaderHmm, KDE4 is rather stable in my opinion.14:51
deitario1K3b aside (which has never reached the stability of the rest of the desktop), I find the APPS generally stable but the infrastructure finicky and fragile.14:52
deitario1It also doesn't help that, in KDE 3.5.x, Konqueror was the center of my desktop experience as a tabbable, splittable, generic KIO+KPart harness... almost a WM in itself. Konqueror 4.x was so bit-rotted and buggy for so long that I developed an alternative workflow.14:54
deitario1I think it's still rather finicky but I use it so rarely now that I wouldn't know.14:54
lordievaderKonqueror doesn't see much use on Kubuntu desktops.14:55
deitario1I'm not a big fan of Dolphin aside from the Split/Unsplit toggle button.14:56
lordievaderFor the filebrowser we have Dolphin and for the webbrowser we have firefox as default.14:56
deitario1I really prefer the in-tab KPart preview and I strongly suspect that Dolphin lacks it only because, if you've got the HTTP KIOSlave and you've got KPart preview, you've just proven that DolphinPart is a huge case of NIH syndrome.14:57
lordievaderNIH?14:58
deitario1Not Invented Here14:58
deitario1As in "Dolphin was a huge 'reinvent the wheel' thing"14:58
lordievaderEhh, or 'not implemented here', I suppose ;)14:58
deitario1That works too. Generally, it's more often used to describe things like the refusal of GNOME to use things like DCOP.14:59
deitario1(Back in the 3.x days, I remember a lot of people saying "GNOME doesn't use KIOSlaves because they're C++. KDE doesn't use GnomeVFS because it's garbage.")15:00
lordievaderHaha :)15:00
deitario1...and I can attest to the latter. GNOME seemed to have a knack for reinventing KDE componentry and then stirring in a huge helping of segfaults.15:01
lordievaderdeitario1: Shall we carry this conversation over to #kubuntu-offtopic?15:03
deitario1lordievader: sure.15:03
=== notzopsi is now known as zopsi
deitario1Ugh. Found the problem. My root partition encountered an error and remounted read-only.15:47
lordievaderHaha, never blame the hardware, even when it is wrong :P15:47
deitario1After killing the KDE daemons, I got this error -->  Could not start process Cannot talk to klauncher: The name org.kde.klauncher was not provided by any .service files.15:48
deitario1When I tried to confirm that everything was up to date, apt-get complained about read-only files and, sure enough, dmesg reported that the filesystem had been remounted read-only.15:49
deitario1smartctl isn't reporting any online errors, but this is the second time I've had this problem in the last couple of months and these drives HAVE been in use since around 2008, so I'll probably want to start taking more thorough measures.15:54
deitario1(If for no other reason than to ensure that, if fsck once again trashes my root partition to the point of requiring a reinstall, I can restore it quickly.)15:55
lordievaderdeitario1: Dmesg usually notes something about why it goes into ro mode.15:55
deitario1EXT4-fs error (device sda5): ext4_lookup:1437: inode #656325: comm Filelight::Loca: deleted inode referenced: 67281715:56
lordievaderdeitario1: So it is an fs problem, not a disk problem.15:56
deitario1lordievader: If it's not silent hardware corruption breaking the FS, then it's been introduced in one of the kernels which was backported to 12.04 LTS.15:58
deitario1Things ran swimmingly for years until, a month or two ago, this sort of thing happened and fsck "fixed" things by throwing out half the OS's files. That's when I switched to 14.04 so I could get a new enough glibc to run Don't Starve.15:59
lordievaderdeitario1: Run a long smart test.16:05
deitario1lordievader: That's what I'm about to do.16:05
lordievaderGreat minds think alike ;)16:06
deitario1There. "Please wait 163 minutes for test to complete."16:06
lordievaderThere is a reason it is called long ;)16:09
deitario1Since this machine has four drives and various non-KDE applications still work thanks to my rw-mounted /home partition, I'll take this opportunity to download and burn a Lubuntu 14.10 disc as well as doing a few other preparatory things which require little or no I/O on my root partition.16:09
deitario1On the plus side, I just finished moving a bunch of downloads (mostly Humble and GOG.com installers) to DVD, so I've got enough space free across the other three drives to backup the entire contents of /dev/sda twice over without putting both copies of any file on the same physical device.16:15
