I have installed the rpms from supplementary directory of ftp.suse.com instead of those from kde.org and the problem is the same; then I downgraded kdepim to SuSE DVD version (KDE 3.4.2) and Knode works fine again. Using SuSE 10.0 i386 Kernel 2.6.13-15-smp

This bug's status is "UNCONFIRMED" - well I can confirm the reported behaviour with identical debugging messages appearing and the only difference being kdepim3-3.5.0-9 on my side (compared to 3.5.0-1 mentioned above). SuSE RPMs, SuSE 10.0, gcc-4.0.2_20050901 release 3.

Current knode perhaps can't cope with some incarnations of previous configuration files. I renamed knoderc, started and quit knode, compared old and new knoderc, merged my personal preferences into the new file - and knode resumed to start.

This is a very helpful information, could you attach the old config file?

I think I can provide some even more useful information - as my manual work at the config file mentioned above was good for one start only ... knode ran for quite some time, I quit the newsreader and afterwards again no luck starting it. But: I did some additional (AFAICS successful) testing after having seen your comment and having gained hope that this bug might get fixed ... ;-) If I let knode create its knoderc from scratch it starts and quits reliably without any crash. It fails to start as soon as I deactivate the option "Artikel als gelesen markieren nach:" (don't know the english text). Set "autoMark=true" in knoderc and it will start again ...

Thanks for the detailed testing, now it's easy to fix :)

*** Bug 118833 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I can confirm that setting "autoMark=true"in knoderc fixes the problem (now using kdepim3-3.5.0-9). Thank you.

This is *not* a fix. It's a workaround. The bug still exists.

No, the bug has been fixed for KDE 3.5.1, the workaround is only necessary for KDE 3.5.0.
