Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: gcc 3.3.1 OS: Linux Not really sure how this happened. Konsole was running fine since initial install onto this machine. To enable my unsupported acx100 chipset based wireless card I open a konsole as root, navigate to the appropriate directory, and use the ./start_net script provided by acx100.sourceforge.net . The issue first occured after installing kismet 3.0.1c . I was able to use Kismet without incident in another, non-root konsole window. Before I switched off my machine I adjusted my system clock. Konsole hasn't worked properly ever since. I was able to have it appear briefly, long enough to make it a shaded, transparent window. Here is the backtrace: (no debugging symbols found)...[New Thread 16384 (LWP 3156)] (no debugging symbols found)... (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...

Thanks in advance, Jimbo
Do you have any own *.schema files in ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole?
The only one there under my normal user is Transparent_darkbg.schema . Another note, my other terminals are running as they should. Jimbo
Try to move it away to see if it causes this crash.
The konsole started working again today much to my surprise! My schema as set still remained and all was well. So I tried to duplicate what I did in the past.... because my time drifted two minutes behind. I reset the time as it should have been then ran kismet to ensure the konsole still worked. It did and I was pretty happy. Then the litmus test: reboot machine and check konsole again. After reboot, konsole debug returned same crash information as before. I removed my .schema file and konsole still wouldn't work. Jimbo
Any update on this? Have you tried a recent KDE version?
Reopen with more info if you can reproduce in KDE 3.3.x or 3.4
