Description Ron Eggler 2008-07-20 04:11:43 UTC
Version:           1.2 (using KDE 4.0.98)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

Kontact crashed when using it "normally" and it wouldn't let me restart it, in the console I get a

reg@linux-c73s:~> kontact
reg@linux-c73s:~> *** KMail got signal 11 (Crashing)
KCrash: Application 'kontact' crashing...
sock_file=/home/reg/.kde4/socket-linux-c73s/kdeinit4__0

and a KDE crash handler window keeps popping up. What's the problem here? Signal 11 doesn't mean a whole lot to me :(

Thank you!

must have updated my kdelibs but not my kdebase packages. On KDE restart I couldn't fire KDE back-0up so I updated kdelibs as well as kdebase what let me login again and Kontact was working just fine! :) You may wanna think about a better error message? (Maybe one showing up in a lil KDE message box?) :)

I'm on ArchLinux using vanilla kde and I get this:

I had to use the reset button following a virtualbox disaster while akregator was active. Since then the above happened. Renaming ~/.kde4/share/apps/akregator to ~/.kde4/share/apps/akregator~ resolved the issue. Now I've just got to find the corrupted file in akregator...

Okay, the offending data was in ~/.kde4/share/apps/akregator/data/feeds.opml When I delete that file, the old akregator folder can be used.
