Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux This is a recreation of bug #73003. I've logged in as root in KDE 3.2RC1 and DrKonqi appears with a crash report, right away during the display of the splash-screen. I've deleted .kde from the root-user, but still the same problems. The problem also appears when starting Konqueror as a filemanager as root in a normal-user-session. I moved /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kmilo_thinkpad.la and /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kmilo_thinkpad.so to _filename and the problems are gone. This is the backtrace (when starting konqueror as root): [New Thread 16384 (LWP 10452)] 0x412a0a86 in waitpid () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 #0 0x412a0a86 in waitpid () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x407bac1a in KCrash::defaultCrashHandler(int) () from /opt/kde/lib/libkdecore.so.4 #2 0x4129f96c in __pthread_sighandler () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 #3 <signal handler called> #4 0x4160e6ce in KMilo::KMiloD::displayText(QString const&) () from /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kded_kmilod.so #5 0x41787236 in ThinkPadMonitor::retrieveVolume() () from /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kmilo_thinkpad.so #6 0x41785f4f in ThinkPadMonitor::init() () from /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kmilo_thinkpad.so #7 0x4160df6a in KMilo::KMiloD::KMiloD(QCString const&) () from /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kded_kmilod.so #8 0x4160d844 in create_kmilod () from /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kded_kmilod.so #9 0x4154e3e2 in Kded::loadModule(KService const*, bool) () from /opt/kde/lib/libkdeinit_kded.so #10 0x4154ddc6 in Kded::initModules() () from /opt/kde/lib/libkdeinit_kded.so #11 0x41550b14 in kdemain () from /opt/kde/lib/libkdeinit_kded.so #12 0x4001a894 in kdeinitmain () from /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kded.so #13 0x0804dbc9 in launch(int, char const*, char const*, char const*, int, char const*, bool, char const*, bool, char const*) () #14 0x080502ac in main ()
Please note that after the crash KDE behaviour seems NOT affected.
As I said, this is something -external- to KDE. You should contact whoever made your packages and ask them what's wrong. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73003 ***
