Comment 1 Sebastian Sauer 2008-06-28 07:18:37 UTC

Hi George, please also update your kdeplasmoids4 to 4.0.84 since there was a binary incompatible change afaik and close the report if that fixes it. Thanks in advance.

Comment 2 George Lindholm 2008-06-28 08:29:33 UTC

4.0.84 isn't currently available from the SUSE repository, so I deleted
kdeplasmoids4-4.0.83-1.2 to no avail. KDE still crashes.

Comment 3 Dark Phoenix 2008-06-28 09:12:03 UTC

I suggest clearing out your .kde4 folder.  It worked for me when Plasma was oddly crashing after a similar update.  I suspect the bug is in fact that something changed between Beta 1 and Beta 2...

Comment 4 Christophe Marin 2008-06-28 09:34:42 UTC

Please read the following page and provide an useful backtrace for this crash : http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

Also, mixing 4.0.83 and 4.0.84 packages may not be a good idea.

Comment 5 Aaron J. Seigo 2008-06-29 01:24:49 UTC

yes, mixing such packages is absolutely a BAD idea.

this crash is due to a binary incompat caused by that.
