Description Keith Rusler 2009-10-06 00:30:44 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          GCC-4.4.1 (Linux 2.6.31-gentoo-r1 i686) -march=native -O2 -ggdb
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

What I was doing when the application crashed:
When starting up kded4. It crashes due to a QVariant::toStringList segfault. I don't know if this has to do with Qt-4.6. As I'm running the latest git version of Qt-4.6. And happens on every startup manually or relogin of KDE4
Comment 1 Dario Andres 2009-10-06 00:55:10 UTC 
- Can you post the full backtrace of the crash ?
- What is your KDE SVN version ?
Thanks

Comment 5 Christopher Neufeld 2009-10-20 04:21:43 UTC 
I experienced this problem earlier today, it turned out to be due to bad permissions in the dbus, not allowing me into the hald interface.  The hald registers on the system dbus, not the user dbus, so you have to make sure to grant permissions correctly.
Comment 6 Dario Andres 2009-10-26 13:40:39 UTC 
From bug 211930:
What I was doing when the application crashed:
Not much to comment, it did work for kde 4.3.0 for me, when i upgraded my
system it started to crash. It might be related to hal and xorg update, but
checking for null pointers in the code should make it more reliable.

SVN commit 1057980 by ahartmetz:

the more recent code wasn't. Hooray...

The reporter of bug 217512 states that the bug could be caused by the user/root not being part of the "plugdev" group (post-installation issue?)
