Problem with KDE 3.5.3 on Slackware-Current
Kicker and the taskbar both crash with Signal 11 immediately upon initialization. The rest of the desktop seems to be working fine. This is with Slackware-current upgraded from 10.1, with a 2.4.29 kernel.

I have no experienced that exact problem however, the storage applet does not work properly on the kicker....at least not for me
**EDIT** That must have been a momentary thing, because it is working fine now. |
i have no problem at all with KDE 3.5.3 either (up to now) :D

Smoothest KDE upgrade for a long time

Try deleting/renaming ~/.kde and report back with the results. |
I'm having two problems:
The 1st one is that dreaded, useless warning: Code:
kbuildsycoca: WARNING: '/usr/share/application/{gxine,gimp,openoffice}.desktop' specifies undefined mimetype/servicetype: '{mime}' The 2nd one doesn't seems to hurt, but doesn't inspire confidence either, is that I've hit like 3 or 4 assertions now. Next time I'm gonna tee the stdout of kde (or figure out how to use kdebugdialog) and check if I have to report a bug to KDE or what. Other than those minor things, everything seems to work as it should :) |
2nd machine, same exact problem
Tried the same upgrade on my home machine (slackware-current upgraded from 10.2). Kicker and the taskbar both crash.
I wonder if it's a mirror issue? Both machines were upgraded from the slackware.cs.utah.edu mirror via swaret. |
It does look like a .kde problem

Thanks. |
So far for me, 3.5.3 has been great. The only "glitch" of sorts has been the Storage Manager applet for the kicker. Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't. BTW, 3.5.3 was installed after a brand new install of Slack 10.2.

Found the problem: System Monitor Applet
After renaming my .kde directory and starting over, I added my applets and buttons one at a time. As soon as I tried to add the System Monitor applet to Kicker, it crashed. It also caused the X server to shut down.
Looks like the system monitor in 3.5.3 is useless. Right now, the fix is the second line of the joke that begins with "Doc, it hurts when I do this." :D |

Under which circumstances you get the crash? Any funny configs? |

All I did was attempt to add the System Monitor applet to Kicker the normal way ("Add Applet" from the Kicker menu). All other applets and buttons (system tray, lock/logout, 8-screen pager, Korn mail monitor, external taskbar, and buttons for Firefox, KMix, and Konsole) work perfectly. |
