Bug Description

Binary package hint: kile

I hope this is the right way to do this. I have never started a bug report before.

I am running Kile 2.0.81 (although the splash screen says 2.1 beta) on Jaunty, 64 bit. Help->About in Kile says it is using KDE 4.2.2, though at the moment I am just using the default Gnome for Ubuntu. I just re-installed from scratch a few days ago. I also installed all of the debugging packages for Kile (I think).

apt-cache policy kile:
kile:
  Installed: 1:2.1.0~svn942443-0ubuntu4.1
  Candidate: 1:2.1.0~svn942443-0ubuntu4.1
  Version table:
*** 1:2.1.0~svn942443-0ubuntu4.1 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/universe Packages

     1:2.1.0~svn942443-0ubuntu4 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages

Anway, Kile keeps crashing when I attempt to run latex, either through a custom shortcut (e.g. alt+2) or through the menus. It begins to compile the DVI, then quits and the program closes.

I started Kile from terminal and this is what it said:

At which point, of course, it crashes, giving this message:
The application Kile (kile) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV).

When I attempt to view the details in the window asking me to submit a bug report, this is what it 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.

kile.kcrash Edit (6.2 KiB, text/plain)

I went back through the list of KDE programs in Synaptic and installed all the debug packages that I thought might be useful. Then I tried this again, and got a (hopefully) more useful output.

Does it always happen or only in directories with uncommon permissions?

If you know how to use a compiler you might try to use kile 2.1 beta1 from kile.sf.net and see if it fixes the problem.
Although the backtrace is good I don't see anything obvious offending in the code.

I can't reproduce this behavior anymore. I installed 1:2.1.0~svn981319beta1-1 (from the Debian repository) in an attempt to fix the issue with missing and forgotten shortcuts, and this issue is now gone.

This bug was fixed in the package kile - 1:2.1.0~svn1014763beta2-1ubuntu1

---------------
kile (1:2.1.0~svn1014763beta2-1ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - debain/control: Don't suggest kile-i18n
    - debian/kile-doc.install: Install to /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML
  * Fixes (LP: #404879, #403140, #400778)
  * Add debian/patches/kubuntu_01_improved_viewpart_warning.diff to instruct
    how to restore tools config; as an out-dated configuration from pre-KDE4
    is the most likely cause of the embedded viewer failing. (LP: #375913)
  * Add kubuntu_02_disable_embedded_kbibtex.diff. No KBibTex-part is
    available for KDE4 and KBibTex porting does not look to happen anytime
    soon, so disable the Embedded KBibTex option for now. (LP: #376004)
