Version: ? (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Mandriva RPMs This is what it reported. (newby so this may not be complete) It did not do this while I was running the KDE 4.1.? that came on the Mandriva 2009.0 distribution I loaded initially. Updated to KDE 4.2 today and this started happening upon shutdown - every time so far. 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.

As you experience the crash every time, may you read http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports and post a complete backtrace here? Thanks :)
After reading the page Dario mentions, I've captured a new backtrace.

@David: the backtrace is already useful, you don't have to install any other package.
Do you have an USB webcam or microphone (or some other audio/media device?) This is probably related to bug 180109
(In reply to comment #4) > Do you have an USB webcam or microphone (or some other audio/media device?) > This is probably related to bug 180109 > No web cam and I don't think there is a built in microphone. The only "audio" device would be the CD/DVD drive and the onboard speakers. The laptop is an old Toshiba Satellite 5200 that I have from work. (it's slow but it has a great screen). I will check out bug 180109. Dave
it's a bug in the fallback/init code *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 180109 ***
