Programs compiled with Lazarus (and have been working on Kubuntu 6.10, 8.04, 9.04, Suse 10, Fedora 5 etc.) don't work on K_9.10 / KDE 4.3.
(Upgrade K_9.04 -> 9.10). They started, but after first trial to select file for reading ended.
Error after 'Smith4VNA' started:

[FORMS.PP] ExceptionOccurred
Sorry, I don't know. It was common update from rep - about 30 packages. But the problem is not solved yet - on another comp it persists. The only difference is:
- new installation K_9.10 from DVD: now OK
- upgrade from 9.04 (CD 'alternate') - persists.
The problem occurs after the file for *reading* is selected in dialog. If the file is selected *without* dialog (its name is defined inside the program), it works OK.
The selection file name for *writing* works OK every time.
All is OK if the program is started with root privileges (i.e. sudo <prog_name> ).
But the problem is not solved yet - on another comp it persists. The only difference is:
- new installation K_9.10 from DVD: now OK
- upgrade from 9.04 (CD 'alternate') - persists.
I did an upgrade with the alternate CD, too. The fastest way to reproduce the error here is to open the menu 'Package', then select 'Open package file'. The follwing dialog will show for a blink of the eye and then it goes boom :-(
I am not in a mood to do a complete reinstall, but if that is the only way to get up and running...
sudo startlazarus works here, too. The problem is, you can compile programs using sudo, but these will only run as sudo, if run by a 'normal' user they will crash and burn :-( I will try lazarus now on another machine which is a clean setup, and if that works I will do a re-install of Karmic. Grrrr....
Whenever you come to Phuket, we will have some beers on your findings... Thank you for this hint.
Edited to add:
I tried to run Lazarus on a clean install from CD before I read your comment, I did not work. In another desperate move, I tried it on a live system running from the DVD, no dice. But re-thinking it was all this QTCurve-appearance, which - by the way - I don't like anyway. Now I will have to explain this to the customers :-( Hopefully it will be fixed some day. Raleigh does it.
