Description Ákos Mattiassich 2008-11-01 10:11:17 UTC 
Version:           unknown (using 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-21-generic

If i try to run kdesudo systemsettings and i click on task scheduler (kcron), the application crashes.

If i call it from konsole, i get the following output:
(hungarian locale)

Hello Ákos,

it would be useful if you could post a backtrace if the crash.
You can find instructions about generating one in the following page:

Here is the backtrace:

Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2010-10-20 02:00:18 UTC 
The part where it crashed has been rewritten for KDE 4.2, so I assume it is fixed.
