Description Andrea 2008-07-15 20:31:52 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

upon login, plasma completely crashes ("The Plasma Workspace (plasma) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)")

when i close that alert and alt+f2 plasma again, it crashes yet again. there's no way to get it to work as far as i've tried ... any help is appreciate. thank you all!!!!

btw: from what i've seen in a virtual machine kde 4.1 is really awesome so i'd love to use it on a regular basis, hence this bug report ...

Comment 1 Aaron J. Seigo 2008-07-15 23:41:25 UTC
one of the packages with a plasma applet in it is out of date (compared to the installed libplasma) causing a binary incompatibility; ensure all your kde4 packages are up to date.
