Investigations into the problem reveal that kcmshell5 appears to be
waiting for qapt..

[21:28] <sick_rimmit> Oh ah right
[21:30] <sick_rimmit> Can you reproduce it on your machine ?
[21:30] <sick_rimmit> I am on 15.10 here right now
[21:30] <clivejo> yes
[21:31] <sick_rimmit> OK..
[21:31] <clivejo> I think it does same on 15.10
[21:31] <clivejo> can you try?
[21:31] <sick_rimmit> Nope works for me
[21:31] <clivejo> hummm
[21:31] <clivejo> so whats changed!
[21:31] <sick_rimmit> try calling it from the command line, see what output you get
[21:32] <clivejo> nothing
[21:32] <sick_rimmit> hmmm 
[21:32] <sick_rimmit> did your new builds of libqapt make it into Xenial, the one for muon ?
[21:32] [Notice] -kubuntu-ci to #kubuntu-devel- Project wily_unstable_parley build #142: STILL UNSTABLE in 38 min: http://kci.pangea.pub/job/wily_unstable_parley/142/
[21:32] <clivejo> yes
[21:32] <sick_rimmit> hmmm not that then
[21:32] <sick_rimmit> Odds are that kcm is using libqapt in a similar way to muon
[21:33] <sick_rimmit> try calling it again but this time with strace
[21:33] <sick_rimmit> strace kcm-manager or whatever its called
[21:33] <clivejo> the only change to libqapt was to make it emmit signals
[21:33] <sick_rimmit> that would fit the frame
[21:33] <sick_rimmit> I mean the previous version
[21:34] <sick_rimmit> where it didn't emit them
[21:34] <clivejo> thats why muon was crashing
[21:34] <sick_rimmit> If kcm has a slot awaiting a signal then et voila! stuck code
[21:34] <sick_rimmit> ok don;t worry too much about that
[21:34] <sick_rimmit> can you get strace to run kcm

[21:37] <clivejo> it runs and gets stuck
[21:37] <clivejo> strace keeps displaying this over and over

[21:39] * sick_rimmit grabs monacle

[21:40] <sick_rimmit> If you sit for a few seconds hands off machine does it continue output
[21:41] <clivejo> yes
[21:41] <sick_rimmit> strace is a Stack trace utility so it picks up mouse, kdb, everything really
[21:41] <clivejo> just sits there doing that
[21:41] <clivejo> until I close the window
[21:41] <sick_rimmit> Ok so it is stuck in a loop doing something
[21:42] <sick_rimmit> question is what ?
[21:42] <sick_rimmit> so run it again without strace then ps uax to find its process id
[21:42] <clivejo> was hoping you could answer that
[21:42] <sick_rimmit> then lets try lsof 
[21:42] * sick_rimmit needs man pages
[21:43] <sick_rimmit> ah yes
[21:44] <sick_rimmit> lsof -p <pid>
[21:44] <sick_rimmit> that will tell us what it is doing

[21:49] <sick_rimmit> Alright that's progress
[21:50] <clivejo> it is?
[21:50] <sick_rimmit> So it's waiting on the qapt socket
[21:50] <clivejo> what does that mean?
[21:51] <sick_rimmit> it is an interprocess communication
[21:51] --> superfly (quasselcor at ubuntu/member/superfly) has joined this channel.
[21:51] <clivejo> ah
[21:51] <sick_rimmit> kcm -> qapt
[21:51] <sick_rimmit> so now it is qapt that is doing something and kcm is awaiting it
[21:51] <sick_rimmit> so ps uax qapt
[21:52] <sick_rimmit> and lsof again
[21:52] <sick_rimmit> what is qapt doing ?
[21:52] <clivejo> nothing
[21:53] <clivejo> its not running
[21:53] [Notice] -kubuntu-ci to #kubuntu-devel- Yippee, build fixed!

[22:03] <clivejo> what version of libqapt are you running in wily?
[22:03] <sick_rimmit> Ah the one I compiled
[22:03] <sick_rimmit> good point
[22:06] <sick_rimmit> what is the comand to invoke kcm
[22:08] <clivejo> kcmshell5 kcm_driver_manager

[22:31] <sick_rimmit> Ah I wonder if it brought it in for me when I did build-dep for Muojn
[22:31] <clivejo> valorie mentioned she had xapian when she installed muon
[22:32] <clivejo> issues
[22:32] <sick_rimmit> xapian seems to be the search library / indexer for apt
[22:32] <clivejo> yeah
[22:32] <sick_rimmit> I read this today on J Thomas's blog
[22:32] <clivejo> tends to just work
[22:33] <sick_rimmit> Well..
[22:33] <sick_rimmit> what we do know is that in your instance. kcmshell is blocked by a non returning socket /var/qapt
[22:34] <sick_rimmit> I am afraid at this point I am out of my depth
[22:34] <clivejo> me too
[22:34] <valorie> hmmm, apt-cache policy tells me I have it installed
[22:34] <clivejo> I wonder would Carlo know?
[22:34] <sick_rimmit> but I reckon pasting all this info to the LP Bug will really help the next person
[22:34] <clivejo> Rick, mind doing that?
[22:34] <clivejo> Im about ready for bed!
[22:35] <sick_rimmit> Can I get a paste of your lsof output
[22:36] <clivejo> :( Ive shut it all down
[22:36] <clivejo> does yours show a list of drivers you can install?
