Bug 190178

Version:           The application Plasma Workspace (plasma) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV). (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified

This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

On boot up this morning, the computer stopped to do a check of the /dev/sda1 partition.  Then the computer booted to open.  I clicked on starting the browser from the previous window and went to the Kmenu to open an application.

When I clicked on the Kmenu Icon, the computer shut down to complete off.  I turned on the computer and no screen would appear.  I left the computer on for perhaps 5 minutes to be sure that things were not happening in the background.  I attempted several times again to boot without success.  

I then shut off the power at the power supply, turned the power back on, and booted again.

This time I got a request to open the BIOS and reset defaults.  I did that and got the boot menu and chose the (memory fails the proper term, but it was something like) repair option.  I was returned to the same window and tried the dpkg feature which failed, so I clicked on resume for the normal boot.  

The computer is open again, and I immediately got  'A Fatal Error Occurred' message.  The application Plasma Workspace (plasma) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV).

I was unable to get a valid backtrace, so  I copied the information at the beginning of this statement from the window showing data.

As you can tell, I am pretty inexperienced, however this is all the information I can think of.  Oh! My components are AMD 9600 Quad Core 64 bit.  8gb SDRAM.  9600 nVidia Gforce with 512mb DDR3.  BFG 800W Power Supply.  500gb SATA HDD.  ASUS M3N-HT Mempipe Motherboard 780a nVidia chipset.  Jaunty Beta OS with KDE 4.2.2.
