Description Mark Haney 2008-11-11 16:54:15 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.1)  
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I just upgraded to KDE 4.1.3 and the kopete version (according to Gentoo it's 4.1.3, but kopete says 0.60.3) and I can run kopete but any action taken inside it causes a crash.  Including when receiving an IM from one of my chat partners.

I've included the Kcrash output below.  Here are the steps I've taken to rectify the problem: 

Rebuild kopete, rebuild all related and dependent libraries.  Erased and rebuilt.  I'm out of options.  The crash output seems to center around Qt and libc.s0.6, but no other application has a stability problem with the Qt or libc versions I have on my system.


Here is the trace from KCrash on the problem:

Comment 2 Detlev Casanova 2008-11-11 17:33:29 UTC

Could you reemerge (that will need some time) glibc, qt 4, kdelibs and kopete with the splitdebug features ?

You can do this like that : 

FEATURES=splitdebug emerge -av glibc qt kdelibs kopete

Check if the correct packages are to be built (e. g. not qt 3)

Comment 3 Detlev Casanova 2008-11-11 17:59:16 UTC

No, sorry, this is a problem with gentoo, I think.
Could run kopete from konsole and see if there is a message such as

!!!!!!! ERROR !!!!!!! - KHTML default stylesheet version mismatch. Aborting. Check your installation. File used was: /usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/khtml/css/html4.css. Expected STYLE_VERSION 1

?

Comment 4 Mark Haney 2008-11-11 19:27:32 UTC

I ran from the command line and I got the same error as you did above.

Comment 5 Mark Haney 2008-11-11 19:34:26 UTC

If this is truly a Gentoo bug, then I can file a bug report with them.

Comment 6 Detlev Casanova 2008-11-11 19:39:07 UTC

No, try this http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242194
or this : http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241312

I have the same problem as you and I still have it here after rebuilding and rebooting, I'll try again, maybe I forgot something...

Comment 7 Mark Haney 2008-11-11 19:47:58 UTC

There have been a couple of ways to fix this on the gentoo forums, one involves updating the KDE3 version to 3.5.10 and the other involves adding an export to /usr/bin/kde/4.1/bin/startkde.  I've added the export, but it requires restarting KDe which I haven't done yet, but will do shortly.

Comment 8 Mark Haney 2008-11-11 20:11:20 UTC

The link below shows a couple of ways to fix this problem. I can vouch for one way:

Edit /usr/kde/4.1/bin/startkde and just above all the other EXPORTS add this:

export KDEDIRS=${_KDEDIR}:/usr:/usr/local 

And restart X.  This worked for me. I suspect upgrading KDE3.5.x to 3.5.10 as per the Gentoo Forums will fix this as well.
