Description Andrew Cilia 2008-05-16 12:23:54 UTC 
Version:           2.0 (using KDE 4.0.3)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
Compiler:          gcc version 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8) (GCC) 
OS:                Linux

if you go into settings/edit current profile/appearance, every instance of konsole that is running dies. I ran konsole from konsole and tried this in the child app and the parent died also.

strace of aborting program

I have attached an strace output. Cheers
Comment 2 Robert Knight 2008-05-16 15:14:34 UTC 
Hello,

I need a backtrace to debug the problem.  The output from strace is not very useful I'm afraid.  If the KDE crash dialog appears then please copy and paste the backtrace from there.  Otherwise install debugging packages for KDE and run konsole from gdb as follows:

gdb konsole
> set args --nofork
> run  

When it crashes

> backtrace

And copy the output

running debuginfo-install as I write. Back soon with results

Backtrace did not give out much. I installed about 500Mb debuginfo packages to
get to this. Did I miss out something?

> Did I miss out something? 

No, the assert failure message in the terminal actually has enough information.  It seems to be related to handling of existing Konsole/KDE 3 colour schemes.
Comment 6 Robert Knight 2008-05-17 02:10:47 UTC 
Until a fix is released you can work around the bug by removing any KDE 3 Konsole colour schemes you have have installed, files ending in .schema typically found in ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole/

Fix assert failure when handling invalid KDE 3 color scheme data files.
Just report a warning instead.

Workaround in place. Thanks & Cheers

Marking as fixed, as this is not being backported to KDE 4.0.
