[KCModule: msm_kernel] - problems when downloading packages

Created by: scachemaille

There is a problem when the kernel installation take too much time (ex: having do download packages) the action dialog say that the job is done, but it's not really finished, pacman is still running in background.

I investigated. and I don't understand the problem. in ActionDialog::startJob() the function if ( job->exec() ) who start the KAuth action return false before the pacman process exit in

ActionReply KernelAuthHelper::runPacman( const QVariantMap& args ) { ..... ..... ... pacman->waitForFinished( -1 ); return actionReply;

}

Here my debug output (i added qDebug outputs)

"16:15:04"  before 'if ( job->exec() )'
Debug message from helper: "16:15:10"  before 'pacman->start( "/usr/bin/pacman", args["arguments"].toStringList() );'
"16:15:29"  after 'if ( job->exec() )'
Debug message from helper: "16:15:50"  after 'pacman->waitForFinished( -1 );'

we can see that job-exec() returned 20s before pacman QProcess finished maybe someone will understand why. I don't.

best regards
