Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Ubuntu 7.1 and 8.04 have seem to have broken kde libs. Frequently applications stop to load without a reason. Most of time when started from console, you would see messages like: kopete: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkdeprint.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZNK7KAction)isPluggedEv konsole: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkdeprint.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZNK7KAction)isPluggedEv usually it fails with other symbols. (I will add them to this bug, when another crash will occur) I have only one version of libkdeprint installed : libkdeprint.so.4.2.0 (from package kdelis4c2a) Usually, this starts after kded locks up (more precisely: kded gets 100%cpu usage when akregator refreshes password protected feed, while password request box from kopete is opened, and password not entered) also: reinstalling kdelibs4c2a helped without reboot.
This is mostly a problem of your distro.
I agree. But strangely, such things does not happen to any of non-kde applications. I will report to ubuntu bigzilla.
