Description hemathor 2011-11-19 20:03:29 UTC

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

i was a happy opensuse 11.4 & kde upstream (4.7.3) user

after the update to 12.1 i cannot start a kde-session any longer.

first kdm crashes, an then plasma desktop crashes (because of previous kdm
crash)

nothing i did helped (removing single files from $HOME to removing all files
from $HOME. even with an empty $HOME i get the same error...

!!!
and now the best part: adding a new user and logging into kde4 works just
fine... but an existing user - even with an empty $HOME - doesn't.
!!!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
login to kde

Actual Results:  
kded & plasma crash

Expected Results:  
successful login

If this crash is reproducible, please add the backtrace. For more information, see http://techbase.kde.org/User:DarioAndres/How_to_provide_more_information_about_crash_reports

Comment 2 hemathor 2011-11-20 06:51:36 UTC

i tried to do that using dr konqi, which is offered. but as soon as i tried to login to kde.org, i got an error message, that complained about kded not running...

at novell (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731570) i just go the tip to delete /var/tmp/kdecache-<user>, and now it kind of works: plasma comes up and looks kind of familiar, although panels and other things have different sizes/positions. but at least, everything seems to be back as it should...

Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2011-11-20 09:02:55 UTC

In Dr. Konqi, you can click on the "Save" icon in backtrace tab. Then paste the backtrace as a comment here.

Comment 4 Will Stephenson 2011-12-08 11:40:47 UTC

Reassign Network Management bugs to new maintainer.  Have a lot of fun, Lamarque!

Comment 5 Alex Fiestas 2013-02-26 20:58:28 UTC

Without a backtrace there is no way we can fix this :/

Have you been able to reproduce this? if so, can you attach a backtrace?

Comment 6 Andrew Crouthamel 2018-09-04 16:21:47 UTC

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years and I will be closing this bug. Please test again with the latest version and file a new bug in plasma-nm. Thank you!
