>>From the time dcopserver used (over six minutes) it seems, dcopserver is misbehaving, and the hanging kbuildsycoca would be a result of that. Eric: can you please try to start as before, then kbuildsycoca in the background, and attach to the running dcopserver process using gdb? Command is "gdb " and then providing a backtrace (may be multiple ones, when you continue, break and backtrace again, if they are different), so we can see, where it hangs.<< I'll give that a try when I get back to work tomorrow. I hear a mattress calling my name. Work is also the only place I have a debug version of kdelibs and kdebase. -Eric ;-) -- Eric Princen Chief Technology Officer BizBlast.com Complete E-Commerce made simple >> Visit http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
