Hi Folks,

I currently having a strange issue when I go to shut down/log off/restart linux.

An error comes up saying KDE panel (kicker) has crashed with a "signal 11 (SIGSEGV)" error. When I close this error message the computer shuts down as normal and while using linux (and the KDE panel) there is no obvious sign that something is not working correctly.

Has anyone had this problem before I cannot find any references to it.

Even if anyone has any idea where to look for a problem. the panel seems to be working fine which is the annoying thing.

Any comments will be very helpful. Thanks

This was a very common problem, but it was (supposed to be) fixed in KDE 3.5. What version of KDE are you running? I haven't had this happen since I upgraded.

Yeah I read that elsewhere but its only recently I've install Fedora Core 4 and upgraded (using yum). It is 3.5.0-0.1.fc4 KDE I am running.

I've also got a manually configured linux kernel v2.6.14 I believe.

Any ideas where I could try and trace this bug to?

Sorry Folks, bumping this cause still causing me issues. Does anyone have any ideas of how this problem may be solved? A refresh install of KDE? An update and from where?

Cheers

Hi,

Just to let anyone who may have had similar issues this was solved with a yum update of kde. The version I used seemed to have a bug and has obviously been fixed with version 3.5.0-0.2.fc4.
