Hi guys,
this is with Deadline 6.0.51030 (Beta 18) on Kubuntu 12.10.
In the monitor:
[]switch on super admin[/]
[]go to Tools/Manage Plugins[/]
[]select Nuke, find the field for Nuke 7.0 and hit the […] button to change the browse for the correct path.[/]
Right after clicking that button I get a core dump every time.
Attached is the error output.
Cheers,
frank

Hey Frank,
This looks like another KDE specific problem. It’s going to affect any place in the Monitor or other Deadline applications where we would prompt you with a folder or file browser dialog. We’ll see if we can find a workaround for this issue too.
Thanks for reporting it!
Hey Frank,
We’ve done some digging, and found a solution that we’re not exactly excited about, but it does seem to work.
In beta 19, we’ll be setting the Qt library paths so that Deadline doesn’t try to load from the KDE plugins folder. However, this only fixes half the problem.
The other half, as far as we can tell at this point, requires a manual change on your end. On the system, there is a file in /etc/xdg called Trolltech.conf. If we rename it to Trolltech.conf.bak, and run it with the plugin folder change mentioned above, all file and folder browsers work as expected. We have seen no negative impact of renaming this file, so it seems like a safe change. It just sucks that we can’t find any other solution at this point.
We’ll keep digging on this one to see if we can find a better solution.
Cheers,
I tested with KDE on Fedora with the internal version that includes the library path change, and it’s actually working without any problems. I checked the /etc/xdg folder on the machine, and it didn’t have a Trolltech.conf file, so that’s probably why it works. It seems to boil down to this specific file on KDE systems, and if it exists, it can cause problems.
thanks for finding a solution so quickly. The Trolltech.conf “only” seems to define the path to qt libraries for the system, so will try and remember that if I ever run into weird qt errors.
