Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux When I try to make a Keyboard Shortcut for an Application, ie. Regional & Accessibility - Keyboard Shortcuts - Command Shortcuts, at this point it crashes. In version 3.5.4 not a problem worked fine. Now in 3.5.5 this is what happens and I get the msg. "The application System Settings (SystemSettings) crashed and caused the Signal 6 (SIGABRT)
Do you get a backtrace? If so, please paste it here. You can get a good backtrace by installing the kdelibs-dbg and kdebase-dbg packages
Hello Philip, When I try to install the packages kdelibs-dbg and kdebase-dbg packages this is the msg. I get; "There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." Not sure how to proceed, at this point. Peter Philip Rodrigues wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
Not sure what you are saying here. If I am not following a certain protocal, let me know as this is my first time using this function. Peter Peter hindrichs wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
I tried an sudo apt-get update this is what I get; Failed to fetch http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest/dists/dapper/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
I'm afraid I don't use (k)ubuntu, so I don't know anything about its packaging system. You might be able to get some help in a kubuntu support forum
I have asked the question, on the Kubuntu forum and am awaiting an answer. Once I have that sorted out I shall get back to you with the backtrace.
According to the Kubuntu forum the packages that you suggested that I need to install are no longer on the database. That is why I am getting the msg. "There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." Kubuntu is getting ready for 3.5.6 for the edgy version. So with out the above packages I can't give you a backtrace. Not sure how to proceed, at this point. I am not sure how to proceed now. Should I uninstall 3.5.5 and reinstall 3.5.4 (as that version was working fine.) Or can I install 3.5.6 over top of 3.5.5.? i am really at a loss here as how to proceed.!!
OK here is the backtrace that I got when I tried the above: (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".

Have you had a chance to look at my backtrace.? It appears that I am not the only one with this problem, another Linux type on the Kbuntu forum has the same issue.
I'll have to leave the backtrace to the developers. I'm just a triager :-)
