Dolphin Crashing

[b0uncyfr0]

Ok i know i shouldn't be using dolphin yet but its looks cool. My problem is, its crashing every time i try to open one of my drives. Its an ext3, almost full (bout 1 Gb) of space left. Dolphin is ****ting itself on it but all the other drives work fine. Could it be related to the drive being almost full?

Re: Dolphin Crashing


Is this the KDE 4 version of Dolphin ?
or is this
Dolphin 0.8.2 ? (KDE 3.5.X)
or
D3lphin 0.9 ? (unofficial maintenance release for KDE 3)

Do you get error messages ? (kde sigdev 11 or something)


If you open /home/user/.xsession-errors (text-file) and then try to open drive - Is there new errors ?

Re: Dolphin Crashing

Yes its sigdev 11. I opened .xsession-errors and tried to open the drive and kate detected an overwrite so there are new errors.

Re: Dolphin Crashing

So what does this mean ? I formatted and copied my data back but opening one folder out of 10 makes it crash? Im guessing a bad sector..

Only you have seen the error messages. But there is:

Im guessing a bad sector..

What about konqueror ? Same thing (crashing)?

Checking hard drive:
Install smartmontools

control and monitor storage systems using S.M.A.R.T.

The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern ATA and SCSI hard disks. It is derived from the smartsuite package, and includes support for ATA/ATAPI-5 disks. It should run on any modern Linux system.

Reading smart logs (hda)
In the konsole:

sudo smartctl -a /dev/hda

Testing hard drive:
Short test

sudo smartctl -t short /dev/hda

Long test

sudo smartctl -t long /dev/hda

More in: man smartctl

Note
smartmontools/smartctl does not work on SATA drives on Linux Kernel 2.6.20-15.27

Have you tried D3lphin (Dolphin) 0.9.2 ?

D3lphin 0.9:

As mentioned on the roadmap, no official maintenance release for KDE 3 will be released anymore. But the good news is that Marcel Juhnke decided to do further bugfixing for the KDE 3 version of Dolphin and also included features like a second sidebar. As this is no official release, this project is named D3lphin and can be downloaded at marrat.homelinux.org.

There is "Debian-Package (tested with Ubuntu 7.04)"
