Description lorne schachter 2011-04-19 00:11:04 UTC

Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Upgrading to kdelibs 4.6.2-1 when installing pclinuxos2010.12 and then using synaptic to install kdegames.  Plasma workspace crashes, can't login in, need to resinstall.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install pclinuxos2010.12, set repository to http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/pclinuxos/apt/ (but others have the same issue).  install kdegames.  It says if you're upgrading from kde 4.5, you should reboot, at which point system is unusable. I've tried 5 different ways today and the only thing I don't do now is reboot.  Games aren't available, but rest of system is

The following message appears on the screen:
Could not start process:Unable to create io-slave:klauncher said Error loading 'kio_file'

Without more information (or a backtrace) we cannot address the bug, see http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

For more help, I would suggest to ask in a PCLINUXOS forum, if the problem seems to be distribution specific.

Comment 3 lorne schachter 2011-04-24 19:40:59 UTC

I'd like to withdraw this problem.  I think the real issue was some inconsistencies with the repositories for PCLINUXOS.  I managed to find a 4.5 repository and I got everything working.  I just think I tried to go to 4.6 without a consistent repository for the upgrade.

Thanks,
Lorne
