Comment 1 Chani 2009-03-07 22:10:59 UTC

1) try updating to 4.2, I'm almost certain this'll go away.
2) make sure your plasmoids are updated too
3) to create more useful backtraces see http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

Comment 2 Aaron J. Seigo 2009-03-24 02:32:08 UTC

4.1.x, libplasma wasn't keeping BC yet, crash after an update -> BIC plugin.

Comment 3 Florian Brunner 2009-03-29 15:14:53 UTC

What do you mean by "-> BIC plugin"? Should I install a "BIC" plugin. Couldn't find it using yast.

KDE 4.2 is not considered stable yet by openSuSE:
http://de.opensuse.org/KDE4

Please provide a Hotfix for v4.1.3, which can be used by the stable OpenSuSE installation.

Comment 4 A. Spehr 2009-05-22 15:34:13 UTC

Nobody can fix anything without a good backtrace. (see the url; you want there to be line numbers) Or more importantly, figure out what's wrong.

BIC = Binary incompatible.
If you can't upgrade, you should make sure everything you have is in sync. You don't want to run version 6 of something with version 9. That's what this means. 

If you upgrade right now, opensuse options are (stolen from the irc topic on #opensuse-kde):
STABLE=4.1.3, 
Factory=4.3 Beta 1 + Patches w/ Qt 4.5.1 (use "zypper dup"), 
KDE:42=4.2.3 w/ Qt 4.4.3, 
UNSTABLE=Weekly Trunk Snapshots

You don't want unstable. You should at least upgrade to stable, although you will be much happier with 4.2.3.
