Live CD PCLinux KDE Daemon startup load error. Tried to report--not enough info to send. I do have a screenshot of "error" each time live CD OS gets to desktop. Results say to "install debugger package" (gdb) & click reload button. Just where do I find it to install?? Not a very good start for a purchased "Live CD" Hope you can help this old windows user---it's all new to me! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Just pop in CD-reboot- as desktop loads KDE error pops up! 2. 3. Actual Results: Crashes every time. Expected Results: Load without errors! How can I send you the "limited" results of error analisis and screenshot of error??

> "install debugger package" (gdb)" I never use PCLinux, so I don't know how. But gdb is available in most distributions. In Debian/Ubuntu, just run "apt-get install gdb" as root. Ask PCLinux guys for the equvalent command.
Contents of Crash Report: Application: kded4 ($Id$) KDE Platform Version: 4.9.5 Qt Version: 4.8.4 Operating System: Linux 3.2.18-pclos2.bfs i686 Distribution: "PCLinuxOS" -- Information about the crash: <In detail, tell us what you were doing when the application crashed.> The crash can be reproduced every time. -- Backtrace: A useful backtrace could not be generated Report to https://bugs.kde.org/
You need to first install gdb before you can get any useful backtrace.
Yes, I know, and I searched for it within PC Linux with no luck. Also searched on the web for the file with no results. I am an old Windows XP user and am very new to Linux but smart enough to know support for XP soon runs out. I don't like the new Windows OSs so I am trying to learn about Linux. Tried the Mint,Puppy, React & Knoppix versions. The one I seem to like best is the PCLinux if I can just get this issue resolved. Your Responses are Appreciated! Thank You!

OK, I just download a PCLinux LiveCD iso and boot it in the virtualbox. Here is the step to install gdb in konsole : $ su -l <enter the password of root, which is also root> # apt-get update # apt-get install gdb That is it. DrKonqi should be able to generate a backtrace now. However, you are unlikely to get a high quality backtrace without installing debug symbols. That task really needs help from someone who really uses PCLinux.
Created attachment 80318 [details] Crash Report Finely got (gdb) report. Need Someone to tell how to install debug symbols or forward to a PCLinux user to analyze error. Many Thanks to: Jekyll Wu for previous help A+++Help

This looks like a duplicate of bug 209975. The problem is in alsa-lib, out of the scope of KDE developers. So nothing can be done here to solve the problem, except ensuring the alsa-lib installed in your system is recent enough to contain the fix. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209975#c137 , https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209975#c129 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209975#c126 . *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 209975 ***
Maybe I'm just stupid, but why in the world can't the KDE program be "uninstalled" and an updated version be installed that includes the repair? Seems to me to be a much easier solution than going through all the technical stuff.

> why in the world can't the KDE program be "uninstalled" and an updated version be installed that includes the repair? In this case, you would need updated ALSA software, which is responsible for audio, so just updating KDE would not help. The problem with many Linux distributions is that they not only ship KDE, but thousands of other applications, such as web browsers, networking tools, graphics software etc., so updates to the software are only happening when a new version of the distribution is released, not for each application update separately. There are, however, distributions available, that are much faster to include newer versions, such as Arch or Gentoo (those are called "rolling distributions"). These distributions are not as easy to use for beginners, but if you are, as you said, willing to learn, they could be less trouble in the long run.
