Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux In KInfoCenter, when i click on the 'OpenGL' link in the left column, KInfoCenter crashes. I Tried to Reproduce the crash by Selecting 'OpenGL' again and it crashed again.
Please paste the backtrace from the crash dialog
I've just installed Kubuntu 7.04 on my Asus Z96Jm with ATI X1600 and I have exactly the same thing, when I click 'OpenGL', KInfoCenter crashes. I have a VESA driver installed, maybe installing proprietary ati drivers will solve the problem...

I'm afraid your KDE is built without debugging information, so the backtrace isn't very useful. Can you install the kdelibs-dbg and kdebase-dbg packages, and try again?
Mine is Kubuntu 7.04 on an HP Pavilion ze5185 laptop. Same issue here, but in my case KInfoCenter crashes when I click on OpenGL only if I click on another category first. If I open KInfoCenter and click on OpenGL first, it opens just fine. In addition, if I click on OpenGL first, then click on another category, then click on OpenGL, KInfoCenter will crash. I can consistently repeat these crashes. I don't have the debugging packages installed, so my backtrace is similar to the one above.
This will need a debug-enabled backtrace before anyone can investigate. Could you try getting one?
Sorry this took so long. I was very new to Kubuntu when I first replied here. I saw your instructions to add kdelibs-dbg and kdebase-dbg packages and was hesitant to do it because of the listed conflicts. Here's the backtrace with both installed. I loaded KInfoCenter, clicked on OpenGL successfully, then clicked on Network Interfaces successfully, and finally clicked on OpenGL unsuccessfully, resulting in a crash. I can repeat this over and over substituting any of the other choices for Network Interfaces above. I am running Kubuntu Feisty Fawn with the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel on an HP Pavilion ze5185 laptop. I hope this helps! Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".

Hrm, that backtrace still looks like it's using non-debug packages. Are you sure you have kdelibs-dbg and kdebase-dbg installed? You might want to check on a kubuntu forum how to make sure
As far as I can tell, they're installed. Here's the info I've gotten from my research: -------------- If I type dpkg -s kdelibs-dbg I get: Package: kdelibs-dbg Status: install ok installed Priority: extra Section: libdevel Installed-Size: 72524 Maintainer: Jonathan Riddell <jriddell@ubuntu.com> Architecture: i386 Source: kdelibs Version: 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14 Replaces: kdelibs4-dbg, kdelibs4c2-dbg, kdelibs4c2a-dbg Depends: kdelibs4c2a (= 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14) Conflicts: kdelibs4-dbg, kdelibs4c2-dbg, kdelibs4c2a-dbg Description: debugging symbols for kdelibs This package contains the debugging symbols associated with kdelibs.

Original-Maintainer: Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers <debian-qt-kde@lists.debian.org> -------------- If I type dpkg -L kdelibs-dbg I get a huge list. If I type dpkg -L kdebase-dbg I get a huge list. The entries of both lists are similar to these: /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/kappfinder /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/kate /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/kwrite /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/kaccess /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/kcontrol /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/keditfiletype The one striking thing about these lists is that kinfocenter isn't on either of them. -------------- Is there a way to add it so that it, too, will use kdelibs-dbg and kdebase-dbg? I thought I'd also add that the mode I run kinfocenter in has no bearing on whether it crashes or not. Let me know if there's anything further I can do to help!
Odd. I have no idea what could be going on, sorry. You could try running kinfocenter in gdb, and try to get a backtrace that way. See http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_with_GDB
If I follow the first instructions, I get this: ------------------------ my@prompt:~$ gdb kinfocenter GNU gdb 6.6-debian Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

(gdb) KCrash: Application 'kinfocenter' crashing... (gdb) backtrace No stack. (gdb)q my@prompt:~$ ------------------------ If, when doing this, I view the backtrace that kinfocenter provides, it's identical to the one I already posted above. Viewing the kinfocenter backtrace and not viewing it makes no difference to the gdb results. If I launch kinfocenter normally and then follow the instructions for attaching gdb to an existing process, when I send: $ kill -SEGV pid I get a magnificent ongoing crash with no feedback whatsoever, the mouse pointer is similar to the one in Firefox browser when a page is loading, and I get occasional disk activity. This appears to be a neverending crash which I finally end by clicking the X in the upper right-hand corner of kinfocenter and receiving a warning that all unsaved information will be lost. It closes successfully. No backtrace whatsoever is possible when this happens. It's possible I'm being too impatient on this one. How long should I allow the crash to continue in this mode?
I can confirm this crash, it happens with a 2nd click on OpenGl after I switched (after the first click) into another tab.
