What application crashed? The backtrace is from a KDE3 application. Can you reproduce the crash at will? Thanks
Marking a NEEDSINFO/INVALID
There is no indication of what application actually crashes. I am using kde 3 under Jaunty Jackalope. This began a few days ago after an update to kde 4.3 Beta 1
The crash handler dialog should said which application crashed. I'm also guessing you have some KDE3 applications installed.
nspluginscan is what crashed, according to what it said. I do have a lot of kde 3 apps because I am using KDE 3 in Jaunty.
Oh, so you are using KDE3. The confusion started on the first line "Version: (using KDE 4.2.85) " Reassigning to nspluginscan
I had the same problem but only running KDE3.5.10. I now found out that nspluginscan is crashing whenever it loads a plugin which is linked against Qt4. I assume this is due to the fact that then you have 2 Qt libraries loaded which share some equal symbols and the wrong one is used, e.g. calling a function from Qt4 but the one from Qt3 was meant to be used. I had such a plugin installed in my ~/.mozilla/plugins and when I removed this one, nspluginscan did no longer crash. You can check which one is the culprit by activating the KDE debugflag 1433 by running kdebugdialog (assuming you have KDE3 libs built with debug information). If you don't have the debug version of the KDE3 libs, then you can check with ldd <plugin-name> in the directories where nspluginscan looks for - which you can configure in konquerors settings/plugins dialog. Also, in this dialog you can deactivate that the scan is run each time you log into KDE.
