Version: 0.0 (using 4.0.1 (KDE 4.0.x >=20080201) "release 14.3", compiled sources) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22.17-0.1-default I had a crash after adding this plasmoid. Now I can't start KDE4 anymore, each time is starting i get PLASMA crash. For the moment I'm using KDE3.5.9. I've tried to remove KDE4 completely and reinstall it again but the problem still exist, KD4 doesn't start. I hope those information can be useful. Thanks Luca
To be honest, I don't think reports such as this one it very useful. Could you give more information about your system (e.g. if it supports OpenGL). Do you have any backtraces? If you want KDE4 to start, try to remove ~/.kde and ~/.kde4. All your configuration for that user will then be set to default, so you might want to make a backup.
remove ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc and you can log in again. that said, kde4 is starting, just plasma is crashing (which is slightly odd since it shouldn't have saved that applet to the config file if it caused such an immediate crash; i hope i won't have to implement the blacklist-between-restarts hack i did in kicker =/)
oh, btw, Hans: please do not recommend removing all of ~/.kde to users. that will wipe out all sorts of user data (address books, web bookmarks, etc, etc.) and as such is pretty dramatic to the user. there are less destructive means to take =) and yes, a backtrace is what we really need here.
Aaron: Got it. I think I took for granted that people use KDE4 as a separate user (kde-devel), but that is of course not always the case. Thanks for correcting me. Sorry for being off topic.
Sorry, I was thinking that the backtrace was attached automatically! Following you'll find it. My system support OpenGL, the graphic card is NVIDIA GEFORCE7600GT. sorry again, if you need more detail please let me know! thanks Luca [?1034h(no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".

Some more information: openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 kernel version: 2.6.22.17-0.1 NVIDIA driver version: 169.12 Server Version Number: 11.0 Server Version Vendor: 7.2.0 (70200000) NV-Control Version: 1.14 To install KDE4 i've been using the STABLE repository CORE PACKAGES, DESKTOP and EXTRA APPLICATION selecting all the available packages.
> (no debugging symbols found) I don't know much about it, but according to another comment on b.k.o some debug packages aren't available for openSuse yet. :/ Luca: Could you please see if you can find debug packages, usually named something like "-dbg" I think. If I understand you correctly, you can reproduce the crash. Right?
Ok, i found some other packages and i've installed them (debug and devel). I don't know why select the filter MODELS (i'm not sure if the translation is right) not all packages was shown. Now i can start KDE4 but i have a crash after each logout and when i login again all the icon on the desktop are duplicated, if i logout and login, all the icon appears 3 times and following... i think that this is another kind problem. What do you think? ah sorry for my late answer.
this is old stuff for the duplicated icons and this has been fixed. for the crash on logout, please post backtrace, thanks
I can't post the backtrace, when the dialog appear, the system is logging off so the dialog is immediately closed. But i think that this problem is already solved, after the update to the version 4.0.2 it never appear. The problem of the icon it still exists, so i think i need to wait some packages fro my openSUSE x86_64. If you think like me we can mark the bug as resolved.
yes, you can close the bug. Thanks for having cooperated so nicely!
Closed, waiting latest packages.
