HI I'm a newbie with OpenSUSE 10 (KDE 3.5.1) installed on a Compaq Presario Laptop. Uptil yesterday Ktorrent was working flawlessly. But since midnight evrytime I start it it crashes (ever single time). The backtrace gives the following output:

P.S. N numbers of uninstalls followed by reinstalls and reboots havent helped. BTW I installed Apollon 3-4 days back. Is that a problem?

Any help will be appreciated
Thx in advance

I had problems with Suses ktorrent, so I uninstalled it and compiled a fresh version from source which works really well. You may want to try that.

Thx for that but I have already uninstalled ktorrent (using yast), rebooted and reinstalled (again using yast)... But no joy!

You mentioned recompiling from source. I'm relatively new to Linux (in fact brand new) so I would really appreciate if u'd give me step by step instructions.

Thx in advance

stopped working at midnight? maybe YAST ran an update on components and now something is incompatible and crashing it. Looking at the website the stable version is 1.2, what is your version?

You could get the latest by compiling from source as mentioned above instead of using whatever binaries are on YAST.

Contains a link to source code, and under it a quick guide on how to compile:
