Application: kcmshell4 () KDE Platform Version: 4.4.00 (KDE 4.4.0) Qt Version: 4.6.1 Operating System: Linux 2.6.31-19-generic-pae i686 Distribution: Ubuntu 9.10 -- Information about the crash: KDE 4.4 Kubuntu 9.10 System Settings > Advanced > User Management Dialog reports that the component is missing. When I dismiss it, it triggers a crash. This occurs every time. Ironically, the only reason I was creating a new user was to diagnose akonadi errors with this release. The crash can be reproduced every time. -- Backtrace: Application: KDE Control Module (kcmshell4), signal: Segmentation fault [KCrash Handler] #6 QBasicAtomicInt::deref (this=0x9b07ca8, __in_chrg=<value optimized out>) at /usr/include/qt4/QtCore/qatomic_i386.h:132 #7 ~QByteArray (this=0x9b07ca8, __in_chrg=<value optimized out>) at /usr/include/qt4/QtCore/qbytearray.h:391 #8 ~Private (this=0x9b07ca8, __in_chrg=<value optimized out>) at ../../kdecore/kernel/kaboutdata.cpp:383 #9 ~KAboutData (this=0x9b07ca8, __in_chrg=<value optimized out>) at ../../kdecore/kernel/kaboutdata.cpp:466 #10 0xb31b08e0 in ??

Created attachment 40837 [details] New crash information added by DrKonqi Same problem as described by the original reporter. I wonder if this is not distribution specific, since we both use Kubuntu, and apparently it requires a python module, which is most uncommon for KDE...
Just asked the Kubuntu devs, this is indeed Kubuntu specific.
Myriam, should I also report to launchpad, or have you?
I already talked to the devs, a patch is under way for Karmic :) If you need it immediately, you should get the python-qt4 packages from the staging PPA (don't forget to disable the PPA once you have the packages). This solved my problem for now and it should end up in the kubuntu backports PPA later today.
Thanks Myriam. Assuming that is the same PPA which provided me with the KDE 4.4 packages, it is already enabled.
