I can reproduce this bug on a Gentoo Linux system, using KDE 4.8.3 and Qt 4.8.1: - Created a new empty user, removed all (hidden) files from home except for some Bash files - Using a combination of su, export DISPLAY, and Xephyr to setup an X-in-X environment - Run "startkde" from prompt - Just wait for crash The kactivitymanagerd process is running. However, checking the output on stdout/stderror, I found the following two lines: kded(20117) PowerDevil::Core::loadProfile: We are now into activity "" kded(20205) PowerDevil::Core::loadProfile: We are now into activity "" which seem to match the debug output in powerdevil/daemon/powerdevilcore.cpp (line 262): kDebug() << "We are now into activity " << activity; The previous call on m_activityConsumer->currentActivity() seem to return an empty string. Restarting the KDE environment in the same way a second time does not crash (at least not here). I am wildly guessing here, but given that this crash happened in a completely fresh environment without any KDE_HOME, there may be no activity (yet) configured. So, either the documentation of currentActivity should state that an empty string may be returned for "no activity configured" (and all callers have to cope with this situation with crashing), or in case that there is no activity, a default/empty activity has to be configured first. My guess is that such activities will be created, but only too late. As a side note, the PowerDevil's code here contains a lot of multiple magical strings like "actLike". Those should be refactored into class constants.

Created attachment 77561 [details] Produced by "KDE Daemon - The KDE Crash Handler" This crash occurs after login and when my ASUS R501V Laptop has its VGA output connected to a Cramer VGA Auto Switcher. This system is used at a Church that I attend. It occurs every time I connect and boot. At home this problem does not occur where I use a normal VGA connection to an additional monitor.

This one looks like a (lib)kscreen problem. Can you file a separate bug for this?
Dario/Oliver can we add some code to prevent null activity crashing us?
(In reply to comment #12) > Dario/Oliver can we add some code to prevent null activity crashing us? I think you already have! See commit e1c13947e2bd83b3352b951fe2b45073170a4f97 which went into 4.9. but not 4.8.x. I only see reports of this problem on 4.8.x so I suspect that this is indeed fixed. Please re-open or comment if I've assumed wrongly and anyone does see the on recent KDE releases.
