Are you sure you only updated Qt mobility? From your description, it sounds like the X server crashes, which is usually caused by broken video drivers. David, mind posting the contents of your ~/.xsession-errors ? (Ideally in a bug downstream @ bugzilla.redhat.com , since this is most likely not an upstream kde bug ) @Christoph Feck When this first happened I was able to "fix" the problem with a yum history rollback. On the next successful login there were 10 packages to update that had been rolled back. I started installing each update one at a time, testing if apps were working, and rebooting after each one. When I applied the update for qt-mobility that is when apps stopped working and I could no longer successfully login to the GUI on reboot. @Rex Dieter I'll see if I can do some more tests to determine if it is KDE specific. If not, then I'll post to bugzilla.redhat.com. I have found the problem and a way to solve it. First, let me say that it was not a KDE issue and this bug report can be closed. I thought it may have been since I had only tested KDE apps at the time I first posted this. After installing gnome and having the same issues I did some more digging. After installing the qt-mobility update I tried launching apps from the terminal to see what error messages may come up. The ones that would not launch all gave the same error: Error while loading shared libraries: libproj.so.0 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I then enter yum provides libproj.so.0 and found the missing package: proj-4.8.0-5.fc20.x86_64 (since I'm using 64bit Fedora). After installing the package, everything works fine. It does some weird that it was not included as a dependency for the qt-mobility, since it does seem necessary for it to work. Does anyone think this is worth in a bug downstream @ bugzilla.redhat.com? There is a dependency on the library. I suspect you may have something else installed that claims to provide that library, but really doesn't. Can you provide the output to these on your box? $ rpm -q --requires qt-mobility-location | grep proj $ rpm -q --whatprovides 'libproj.so.0()(64bit)' $ repoquery --whatprovides ''libproj.so.0()(64bit)' @Rex It appears you are correct. Looks like Google Earth claims to provide the library. [Entropy@david-w-pearson ~]$ rpm -q --requires qt-mobility-location | grep proj libproj.so.0()(64bit) [Entropy@david-w-pearson ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides 'libproj.so.0()(64bit)' google-earth-7.1.2.2041-1.fc20.x86_64 proj-4.8.0-5.fc20.x86_64 [Entropy@david-w-pearson ~]$ repoquery --whatprovides 'libproj.so.0()(64bit)' proj-0:4.8.0-5.fc20.x86_64 Ah ha, bad, naughty google-earth is to blame here. Mind filing a bug @ bugzilla.redhat.com against qt-mobility then? Id be willing to include some workarounds in the meantime. (Any idea where one can bug/nag about google-earth packaging bugs? They should be made aware of this) Posted, https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/earth/problems-and-errors/linux/goVrpKx5OeU And followup, qt-mobility update with workaround for google-earth packaging bug, https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qt-mobility-1.2.2-0.14.20140317git169da60c.fc20 Sorry, looks like I was hasty to blame google's google-earth-stable packaging. $ rpm -q google-earth-stable google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0.x86_64 $ rpm -q --provides google-earth-stable google-earth = 7.1.2.2041 google-earth-stable = 7.1.2.2041-0 google-earth-stable(x86-64) = 7.1.2.2041-0 David, where did you get that version of google-earth? (Sorry for the spam), I think I found it included in postinstaller repo, and reported the issue there, https://sourceforge.net/p/postinstaller/discussion/general/thread/22ddc07f Yes, it was from the postinstaller repo. I had meant to post about that sooner, but I got caught up in work stuff. Thanks for all the help!
