What about a strace on KMail PID and/or tcpdump in order to see the traffic?

Best regards,

Just a few thoughts:

- Are you using GPG signing of messages?
- Do you get any errors in ~/.xsession-errors or when running from the
command line?
- Does debsums return any errors?
- Are you running KMail standalone or Kontact? Natively in KDE or in
some other environment?
- Does it work as another user?

My problem occurs regardless of whether or not I sign the message. If I try to send it signed, the program freezes,
and I have to kill it forcefully (hit the close button, after a short wait KWin says the window is not responding and asks
if I want to kill it). The GUI is blocked and won't redraw, BTW. If I try to send it unsigned it does the same. If I try to
send using a different identity that doesn't have an associated key, it does the same. So it appears that whetever is
causing this is happening before the code that brings up the window asking for the GPG password.

No. None at all found in either .xsession-errors or command line.

"debsums kmail" reports all OK.

Standalone in KDE.

I just tried running through Kontact and it causes the same behaviour. Hitting the send button or selecting from the
menu causes the whole program (that is, both the Kontact and Composer windows are blocked (won't redraw) and won't
respond).

The only other user account on this machine is root. Sending as root seems to work (after a slight pause).

Thanks,

I discovered something interesting while setting up an strace. It seems that each time KMail freezes it leaves a GPG
process such as:
9712 pts/4 SL 0:00 gpg --batch --no-sk-comment --status-fd 23 --no-tty --charset utf8 --enable-progress-filter
--with-colons --fixed-list-mode --with-fingerprint --with-fingerprint --list-keys --
59D4A470EEF69DCC525EEBA60937CF0F4530DEAF
This is regardless of whether or not I tell it to sign (let alone encrypt) the message.

The end of the strace look like:
[snip]
gettimeofday({1128476701, 519511}, NULL) = 0
ioctl(6, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0
write(7, "\0", 1) = 1
pipe([20, 23]) = 0
fcntl64(20, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
pipe([25, 26]) = 0
fcntl64(25, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGC HLD, child_tidptr=0xb5c85708) = 9711
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
write(9, "\0", 1) = 1
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
waitpid(9711, [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0) = 9711
close(23) = 0
close(26) = 0
select(26, [20 25], [], NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(26, [20 25], [], NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(26, [20 25], [], NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(26, [20 25], [], NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(26, [20 25], [], NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
...many more of the same, you get the idea...

Turning off the GPG plugin completely in the KMail settings seems to fix it! So apparently something is screwed with the
GPG config. Ideas of where I can start with fixing this?

Thanks,
Brendon

Anyone? I can turn off signing my own messages but I can't figure out how to
turn off reading GPG info for incoming GPG signed messages. So whenever I get
a message that's signed and I try to read it, KMail freezes! It's getting
really irritating, so any help would is appreciated.

Thanks,
Brendon

In case anyone is interested, I've worked out what was happening. While toying
around with gpg on the command line I noticed that gpg --list-keys kept
saying "gpg: waiting for lock (held by 6049 - probably dead) ...". This got
my attention, so I had a look at ps ax and no such process existed.

Turns out that somehow ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg.lock was never removed when some
other instance died, and this was causing gpg, and thus KMail, to stall. I
removed that file and everything seems to be kicking back into gear.

Honestly, that's pretty bad design. Why should gpg not timeout after so many
tries? Why should KMail not give some sort of notification of what it's
waiting for? I hope it gets improved.

Peace,
Brendon
