KPatience dies with ASSERT: "!pixmap().isNull()"

Please install kdegames-dbg and try to get a backtrace for this crash. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace
Thank you.

Hmm... it works now, after I reinstalled the package kpat...

Maybe the package just didn't get upgraded properly.

Closing bug.

i got the same problem with a fresh install of intrepid with kde4.
a friend got the same problem too.

I got the same problem, and a friend too

I saw the bug once again today, here is the debugging information.

I got kpat-4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 from intrepid-backports today, and the bug is still there.

add strace

Something, somewhere, is really wrong. Does someone has an idea of what it could be? :]

I have the same problem in Kubuntu Intrepid. Reinstalling (purging the packages and installing them again) kpat and kdegames-card-data had no effect.

I attached my backtrace to this report.

Someone please try with a new user.

Thank you.

There is no difference when I to start kpat with a newly created user.

I am seriously running out of ideas.

The problem seems to be what Guillaume pointed to in an earlier comment, the portions where kpat searches for the images files in / don't appear in a working setup.

However, I have no clue what the difference between a working and a broken setup is.
I installed a clean Kubuntu 8.10 and installed kpat => works
I installed a clean Ubuntu 8.10 and installed kpat => works
Due to earlier comments I am lead to belive that it would not work in fresh installations, even though it does. So we can rule out a dependency issue.
Since it is not working with a new user we can also rule out a caching or configuration problem.

The only thing we know for sure is that the problem appears in rendering/opening the card decks, since the assert kicks in when the card deck pixmap is empty.

It appears the deck information get cached using the KDE system cache, a natural guess would be that the cache just didn't get generated, my testing indicates different though (also the strace shows clear documentation of successful ksycoca queries).

So since I am not sure how to processed I'd really appreciate some ideas (even very absurd ones ;-). Also talking to upstream could help a great deal.
Otherwise the last option we have is adding loads of kDebug messages to the affected code. That is going to be a pretty nice waste of resource though since we would have to be poking the code blinding because no one within the development team is affected by this issue.

Oh, another thing we could try:
* run kdebugdialog
* activate everything
* start kpat from a console
* post a copy of the complete output

...
* run kdebugdialog again and deactivate everything, otherwise you will end up with loads of debug output for all KDE 4 applications :)

Here is the debug output with everything checked in kdebugdialog.

After that, I only get a windows of KCrash saying that "The application KPatience (kpat) crashed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT)." I guess that KCrash generates the same backtrace as already provided in a previous comment, so I'm not posting it here.

i have the same problem kpat crash in my new and fresh instalation of intrepid.
The application KPatience (kpat) crashed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT).
The problem disapear installing intenational support for kde. (kde-i18n-es). I'm using gnome.
excuse my poor english.
Espero haber ayudado.

Take a look here:

Seems to be a multilingual problem. Hope it will be fixed soon

This has been fixed both for KDE 4.2 and KDE 4.1.4.

I installed the new 4.1.4 packages from intrepid-updates today, and it works. Thanks.
