Description:
kde-open segfaults when opening an URL, if "Open http and https URLs" is set as "in the following browser", with "firefox" for instance. Worked until I upgraded to kde 4.13.2 this morning. kde-open segfaults only with URLs. If I put "Open http and https URLs" back to "in an application based on the contents of the URL", kde-open doesn't segfault anymore.

$ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/kde-open
/usr/bin/kde-open is owned by kdebase-runtime 4.13.2-1

I can provide a core dump if necessary, but I don't have the debug symbols for now.
This task depends upon

I can confirm this as well. The problem seems to be --noninteractive.

$ kde-open http://google.com
# works as expected

$ kde-open --noninteractive http://google.com
QWidget: Cannot create a QWidget when no GUI is being used
Aborted (core dumped)


kde-open --noninteractive is used by xdg-open
$ xdg-open http://google.com
Widget: Cannot create a QWidget when no GUI is being used
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 513: 6612 Aborted (core dumped) kde-open --noninteractive "$1"


Default browser is firefox.
$ grep BrowserApplication .kde4/share/config/kdeglobals
BrowserApplication[$e]=!/usr/bin/firefox

$ xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/http
firefox.desktop

Hi, is this an upstream bug ? Has it been already filed ?
Comment by Timothy Redaelli (tredaelli) - Wednesday, 25 June 2014, 12:34 GMT
As a workaround just edit /usr/bin/xdg-open and remove the --noninteractive option from kde-open

Guys, please file an upstream bug report. I'd do it but I don't have enough info as it is. You can easily provide the info.

I opened a bug report upstream at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336117

Please add your backtraces to the report if you can produce them.

Andreas this has been reverted, could you update the package or apply the single commit? Thanks
