Version: (using KDE 3.5.10) Compiler: gcc 4.3.2 OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Just woke up, clicked the update manager in the panel and let it update, and about 20 minutes after it was done, shut the monitors off and went out for a few hours like I usually do. When I got back I found a message on the screen saying kded4 had crashed with the following backtrace: Application: KDE Daemon (kded4), signal SIGABRT (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0xb61e58d0 (LWP 11193)] (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) [KCrash handler] #6 0xb803f430 in __kernel_vsyscall () #7 0xb7eca880 in raise () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #8 0xb7ecc248 in abort () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #9 0xb7cbe795 in qt_message_output () from /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4 #10 0xb7cbe872 in qFatal () from /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4 #11 0xb7cea086 in QListData::realloc () from /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4 #12 0xb7cea2b3 in QListData::append () from /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4 #13 0xb7507871 in ??

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately, that backtrace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash. Can you get us a backtrace with debugging symbols? Please see http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!
I can install the debug libraries and wait for it to happen again, but what's the debug version of libkio?
libkio is part of kdelibs, so installing "kdelibs5-dbg" would do the trick Not sure why Version is "(using KDE 3.5.10)" And you have to register because we need to ensure that you will get out mails in order to answer out questions to triage and fix the bugs. Thanks
It just crashed again while browsing the web. Got a more useful backtrace this time.

I know it uses directory watching... it looks like a realloc failed, but I have just over 400MB of RAM free.
Created attachment 34274 [details] Another crash log Been a while, but it happened again.
Backtrace on comment 5 looks the same as the one on comment 4. I wonder if this could be fixed on KDE4.2. (you are encouraged to update if there are packages availables). Thanks
Doesn't look like there are new versions of any KDE packages available on Xubuntu 8.10. Would I have to update to 9.04?
(In reply to comment #7) > Doesn't look like there are new versions of any KDE packages available on > Xubuntu 8.10. Would I have to update to 9.04? Only if you want to ;)
Well the automatic upgrade has had a history of breaking my system so I've been putting off doing it manually. How would I update KDE on 8.10?
Using shell commands. "apt-get dist-upgrade" Thanks
What is the status of this bug in recent KDE versions (4.6.5 or 4.7)? Please add a comment.

bug 268173 shows the same problem with KDE 4.6.x Can this still be reproduced with KDE 4.7.3 or later?
